29 years ago today, Homer Simpson had an epic chili pepper-induced hallucination. “El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer” first aired January 5, 1997.
Most of the sequence was animated completely by David Silverman as he wanted it to look exactly as he had imagined it.

NATO needs to act quickly. Every member denounces this shit and puts boots on the ground ASAP.
It is absolutely not an overreaction given the U.S. invasion of Venezuela. At some point a NATO member was going to attack another NATO member and now is as good a time as any to figure this the fuck out.

Achieving the groundbreaking deep focus shots of #CitizenKane required tons of light with 1941 film stocks and lenses. Genius cinematographer Gregg Toland got around this by only lighting certain areas of the film's enormous sets, so that characters walk in and out of pools of light. #TCMParty
