Further Thoughts on "The Simpsons Movie"

Just watched some of this 2007 movie on TV, and again, struck by how blatant the quarantine references are.

The new thoughts I just had were:

1) very interesting how a sinkhole (which have been in the news over the summer, e.g. here) was used as a method of quarantine escape by the Simpsons.

2) in the move, Homer can be thought of as the primordial evil creature responsible for the placing of the quarantine -- and he and his family escapes from the Q via the sinkhole.

3) interesting how the angry mob chases the "evil" Homer Simpson -- much in the way that humans should chase the evil ultimate PTB on earth. Also, interesting that the mob chases the Simpsons into a hole in the ground (the sinkhole)-- somewhat analogous to the idea that humans on earth have chased the ultimate PTB into deep underground bases.

UPDATE: One other interesting meme in the movie is the Alaska theme, given the strong Alaska theme in national politics that appeared afterward, in 2008, with Sarah Palin.
