A Star is Burns is actually the heartbreaking story of a man being pressured to give in to the hegemony of serious-minded critical consensus

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yes. The story is clearly framed as Homer "overcoming his immaturity" and "doing the right thing" by picking the serious movie

Oh, I forgot to mention. This week's opening was all Christmas-y but it wasn't a Christmas episode. That's this week, I wonder if they'll have another themed opening?
