This is wonderful. Tales From the Crypt was shown, on a projector, in the cafeteria at my junior high school in around 1976 as part of the "movie night" of a much more innocent time. Another night featured The Creeping Flesh (with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee). Fucked me right up, in a good way, at around 15 years of age.
I grudgingly admire the way the 3D wraparound tile was done. I mean it's horrible, but it's perhaps the best possible way to accomplish this particular version of horrible.
Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of people who have the sense to think it through like you did, it's just that I encounter the other type a couple times a week and felt like bitching about it.
Back-in-only spaces with the arrows pointed accordingly is sounding more and more like a superior solution.
Lots of people with sound, logical explanations of why it's better and easier but nobody talking about, with the common angled parking lots these days, how you then end up pulling out the opposite direction of everyone else and going the wrong way down a one way lane or doing a u-turn and basically fucking everything up for anyone else.
I haven't seen it, but apparently it all takes place on the planet where they live or something. So yeah they experience stuff and comment in the same way, but it's maybe not quite the same.
Word on the street (well, the IMDB reviews which I admit hardly passes for the street) is they screwed up by not having these dudes on Earth like in the comic, experiencing things that are mundane to us but strange to them and giving their uniquely literal blue perspective on it all.
I suppose the "best" way would be to distribute the big communities over different instances, like one instance gets "pics", another gets "memes", someone else gets "news", etc. But of course that will never happen.
