Some might think that they're unfamiliar with Gein's story, but what's far more likely is that you're aware of his saga, you just didn't know that it was his. Psycho 's Norman Bates is famously based on Gein, with other major pop culture films pulling from his history - but far more loosely - as well. What's discussed far less often is the true story of a mentally ill man with an abusive and then devastating relationship with his mother.
I love The Simpsons. It's also the worst thing on television. Revealing yourself as a Simpsons fan comes with inevitable qualifiers: Not the new episodes! Most people want their favourite show to last as long as miserly TV executives will allow. Not me. I would gladly see The Simpsons sent to the knacker's yard, rather than given a second movie, as was announced earlier this week.
