[edit] Confusing...
According to an article written while the episode was being recorded, Tom Wolfe, Michael Chabon and Jonathan Franzen were all supposed to be killed by a giant boulder. This ending was cut from the episode because none of the three are killed. As well, several lines were cut from the Chabon/Franzen fight, such as Franzen shouting "Ah, my trademark glasses!" [1]
"This ending was cut from the episode because none of the three are killed." this paragraph shows a good point, but this particular sentence adds nothing and at the same time makes no sense, any corrections or removals suggested?
[edit] Very well
Since some people obviously didn't read the article:
"Tom Wolfe is screaming. He screams softly, this Southern gentleman, his trademark white suit unwrinkled, his spats unwavering even as a giant granite boulder hurtles down upon him."
?\"Chabon throws his whole body into it, lunging at the microphone, while Franzen keeps a dry, acerbic cool. Omine, the producer, reads them their cues, and writers sitting around the room toss out ideas as they occur.
Franzen: "Gaa! Dajjjmit! Ach! Rrrr!"
Writer: "How about, 'Nooo! My prescription-less glasses, the ones I wear to look smart!'"
Franzen: "My trademark glasses!""
"Eventually, it's time to encounter that same runaway granite chunk that flattened Tom Wolfe. Franzen's scream has a hint of falsetto; Chabon writhes as he lets out an anguished moan."
"Then he leaves the studio. Alive. Vidal is the only one of these authors to escape a cartoon death."
[edit] Cultural reference reverts by Scorpion0422
Scorpion0422 has reverted the following cult. refs. that I've added in:
- The scene were The Crazy Old Man jumps off the high-dive board spoofs the intro to The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
- Homer waking up having clues on his body is a parody of the 2001 film Memento.
He/she claims they are not notable, I disagree (esp. with the first one with the links between Rocky and Bullwinkle and The Simpsons). What are other people's views? Surely they're more notable than the Vermont Teddy Bear ref and the Bread Loafers conference?! Lugnuts 11:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Please tell me I'm not the only one who's seen Rocky & Bullwinkle before?! Lugnuts 19:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
