That’s awesome! Although, if Harvey Keitel had been around, it would have been twice as awesome. No, four times as awesome, as long as it wasn’t the Keitel from BAD LIEUTENANT. Jesus, was he whacked out in that or what? Great acting, though. Anyway, Marge is one of the patrons in the bank at the time, so she tries to talk Buscemi (well, the character’s name is Dwight, but it’s Buscemi playing him, so I’ll just continue referring to him that way, ‘cause Buscemi is cool) down and ends up promising him that she’ll visit him in the joint if he gives up. Unfortunately for Marge, the cops fail to plug the hell out of him, so now she’s got to visit Buscemi in the pen. She’s already feeling guilty about missing Lisa’s big award ceremony, the one thing Homer’s actually made it to for the first time … ever, probably. So, to make up for it, Marge finds new and inventive ways to avoid visiting, driving Buscemi ever closer to the edge until the fiendish actor escapes. Now, Buscemi’s stalking the hell out of Marge, to the tune of “Who Can It Be Now,” the unofficial theme song of stalkers everywhere. But, Marge’s influence turns out to be beneficial in the end, though somewhat painful for Buscemi. I should tell you about what was good in the episode and what wasn’t, but who gives a rat’s ass? It had Steve Buscemi in it, and that makes it a classic. That’s all you need to know. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/15/FOX-SUNDAY-ANIMATION-BLOCK----October-14th.aspx 77 60
