Random Thoughts 6-12-15: Christopher Lee, Dusty Rhodes, The Simpsons, Jurassic World

I’ve got some thoughts bouncing around friend, time to get em’ out of the ole noggin.

• Yesterday was a sad, sad day in the entertainment world. I’ll be giving you longer posts on both of the great artists we lost, Sir Christopher Lee and “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, but for now let me just say that these two men where two of my all-time favorites in their respective industries and will be sorely missed.

• Al Jean is flip flopping on the Homer/Marge Simpson breakup that is breaking Twitter. He originally said the Simpsons would be having a “legal separation” this season, which sparked off Tweets from people complaining that the Simpsons were getting “divorced”. Either way, it doesn’t matter. If it’s a brief separation, Homer and Marge have done that several times. They’ve even teased numerous affairs. If it is a final split, it’s one more desperate gimmick being tried by a show that quit mattering over a decade ago. I loved the first half of Simpsons episodes, but it been one horrid season after another in recent years and after 27 seasons just stop already, please!

• I’m seeing Jurassic World tonight. Until now, there have been three Jurassic movies, of which one was good, Here’s hoping that number gets bumped up.
