DeeCee Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yes, and the movie's idea comes from......Under the Dome (the original book)!So why should I care? Under the Dome is the original material, and Simpsons isn't a live show.The book came out 2 years after the movie. The Simpsons is a satirical reflection of a middle class family in small town America. What difference does it make if it is live action or a cartoon?

Stephen King had the idea long before the book or the movie by several decades: http://www.stephenking.com/library/unpublished/cannibals_the.html The difference is that the Simpsons is a comedy while Under the Dome is a drama.

DeeCee Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Yes, I know and it wasn't a new concept back in the late 70's either. But his argument was that you can't compare events in The Simpsons to events in Under the Dome because one is a cartoon and one is a "real life" drama.

Well, you can, but I'm not entirely sure how that would be productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Even though this show is kind of "simple", I really enjoy it. I didn't realize that was the season finale. Was looking forward to the next episode, now I have to wait almost a year maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 ok so 3-5 tonight so they tried a bomb at it , how original!!! but i thought i heard something like the dome is causing magnetic interference with outside world? and that's one major reason gvt want to destroy it apart from pr "saving chester mills inhabitants" so far i haven't seen anything worthwhile, bye bye padre cuckoo though , he had it coming ... at angie and junior , i get it doomsday scenario but still yuck... so i read a few pages from the book , and i gotta say i prefer tv barbie to book barbie and just had to laugh at idea of a woodchuck having a pov The book is one of Stephen King's best.

Incarnadine Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I mostly liked season 1. There was a bit of weak acting, and some of the subplots were kind of ridiculous, but on the whole it was pretty good. I do think it would have been better as something like a 10 episode mini-series, I can easily see the show getting written into a corner and ending up with just plain silly or bad plot lines when they run out of fresh or interesting ideas that are consistent and make sense within the original premise.

MovieGuyKyle17 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm watching the permier of Season 2...this show's logic is horrible and I was really hoping Dean Morris would die so he could get off this bad show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
