Other episodes have indicated she probably would be, but in this one,
Marge had to ask what color the wedding dress would be -- Selma snapped
"white," but that could have one of two interpretations:

(1) Marge knew Selma wasn't, and wasn't sure what off-white color she
    wanted, 

or

(2) Marge didn't know one way or the other, and was asking.  But Selma's
    answer is ambiguous: "White!" means either she's a virgin, or that she
    wants that wedding-color regardless of her status.

It's definitely a slam.  Note all the similarities mentioned "Look, Maggie,
they have a baby too!" and the fact that they used Nancy Cartwright's
voice (and a prehistoric version of Bart's motto "Don't have a cow, man!")
for the Bart-dinosaur.  "Dinosaurs" isn't all that blatant a ripoff of
the Simpsons, IMHO, but the fact that the writers obviously think so is
pretty cool.

	``Bad News, drivers'' [7G01]

I've just been on the phone with Gerard Reynolds, the managing editor
of the Australian issue of "Simpsons Illustrated", and SIOz#4 won't be
released for another 3 weeks!  (they've been working flat-out on a
"Beverly Hills 90210" mag,, :P) Worst of all, the Simpsons Annual will
not be avaliable in Australia until mid-June!  (``Coming Soon!''
``Coming Sooner!'')

The second collection of PAL Simpsons Videos are expected around July.
No release date is certain, as FOXVideo are still trying to dump the
first set (I'm quite willing to help :).  It's also unknown which
episodes shall be released.  Gerard also told me of an unsubstaniated
rumour that first season videos are to be released in the 'States in a
few months.

If anyone would like to obtain back-issues of SIOz, you can write to:
Kerry Wyatt, c/o "Simpsons Illustrated", PO Box A276, South Sydney ...
nominating which issues you would like to get ahold of.

And it's been confirmed that Groening Inc. _were_not_ aware of
alt.tv.simpsons when those weird coincidences occurred.

    Yes.  Remember the wedding-planning scene, where Marge mentions the
wedding dress?  She says: "I don't know how to put this, but..." and Selma
answers "White!"
 
    Oh, and: my method for telling Patty and Selma apart is: Selma's hair
looks sort of like an "M" in its outline  --  and her name is the one with
an "m" in the middle.  BTB, I loved the scene where she shows SSBob the
picture of her and Patty on a tandem bicycle, and she says, "I forget
which one I am."  (Although the best part was when SSBob rushes into the
bathroom after deflowering {defoliating?} Selma and begins scrubbing
himself furiously...)

The whole episode had a lot of parallels with the movie "Black Widow".
E.g., the hero knows about the villain but no one believes them; the
villain marries for money then murders, with the ultimate murder done
just for revenge; the villain thinks the murder succeeded and then gets
overconfident and spills the beans.  (This last one, with the
elaborately constructed alibi, was a really close parallel.)

I said in the last posting that I "just noticed" the "Golden Slumbers"
music.  Gosh, I didn't know it was brand-new.  Anyway, it was a very
nice acoustic guitar version of "Golden Slumbers."  Must have cost Fox
a fortune to get the rights to...

And, something I've always been wondering.  In the capsule summaries,
there is always a notation of what homer says when lisa's bike scoots
by, and when the car drives in the driveway.  Has this EVER been
anything other than "D'oh!" and "Waugh!"?  I've never noticed anything
different in this part of the intro.

But Bob didn't find out about this until they were making plans for the 
wedding.  All he knew about in prison was that she had a steady job and
a lucative hobby in nuscance lawsuits.

Why did he agree to marry Selma in the first place?  And did he decide
to kill her before or after he found out about the money, and was that
his main motivation?

Saw a tape of this episode last night and I noticed that Channel
Ten had cut the shot of Nelson extingishing his cigarette on the
tongue (his or the official's -- Chen isn't clear). It's 
interesting that Ten singles this bit of violence as incompatible
with its G rating and allows Nelson to butt heads together, bully
Bart violently in another episode (Bart the General). The scene
looked wierd without it: Judge tells Nelson to stop smoking --
Nelson says "sure" then cut to Bart......one's left thinking that
Nelson's become, dare I say it, kinder and gentler.

To add to the (contradictory) evidence...  (Quiz:  Identify the quotes.)

(1) ``That's what you get if you don't put out.''
(2) ``Selma simply had celibacy thrust upon her.''
    (But note that celibacy is not the same thing as chastity.)

And some time earlier, Alan J. Rosenthal {ajr} wrote in
<92Apr9.204651edt.144354@explorer.dgp.toronto.edu> about the
overlapping of the final scene into the closing credits.  Actually,
Mr.  Rosenthal is confusing "end credits" with "closing credits".  The
"end credits" are shown over the final seconds of the episode proper.
For "The Simpsons", the end credits consists of the Executive Producer
credit, and recently, they've faded to black before putting those
credits up, so it looks like they're part of the closing credits, but
they aren't.  The closing credits begin with "Starring Dan
Castellaneta".

The distinction was clearer last season when FOX inserted a commercial
break between the end credits and the closing credits.

As for animation quality, what bothers me is the obvious distinction
between fixed drawings (a character's head) and moveable parts (the
mouth and eyes).  In previous seasons, they did a better job of
blending the two seamlessly, but now, it's painfully easy to tell
the difference.

DYN... How Maggie leaned so far forward while walking down the aisle?

It seems that when someone complains about that episode, there is almost always

I'm not suggesting you hafta like Country music to like the episode, but I

*sigh* Just a few things no one has mentioned...

  -Tar Pits High-
    -Poster on wall in `Dinosaurs' ref
  -Even though Sideshow Bob was number 24601, his shirt had 1211
  -During the Krusty Telethon for the Motion Sickness Impaired
    -The tote board was for $385,382.35; a minute later (after
     Krusty insinuated his involvement wasn't legit!) it was
     $311,011.11. (`Where's the $74,371.24, Krustala?')
  -Krusty's license plate was KRUSTY 9
  -Science Made Very Very Simple 
    -Book Bart used to try to get the point across to Homer
  -Shelbyville is 34 miles away from Springfield
  -The final B&W flashback sequence might be a ref to `Ellery Queen'
   as well a every other murder/suspense/action genre film ever done.
  -Another visit to `The Happy Sumo'

Not as good as `Colonel Homer' IMHO, but still solid Simpson...
I give it 4 out of 5 Barts... (Just wish that telethon had been
around for -my- motion sickness filled youth...)

Yow! Ron.
