EABF08 stuff

Well, that was quite good...I particularly liked the musical stuff (the jellyfish song and orchestral I&S interpretaion; is there a third CD coming out?) and the general plot (like Lisa episodes, a Ned episode is usually a good one), but I have mixed feelings about his decision at the end...anyway, the only other thing I really didn't like was that Homer did that drool/ohh thing _five_ times. So definitely an A for this one

DYN: ...on the cover of Modern Sandcastle is a sand Sydney Opera House? ...apparently Clancy arrested Sarah in order to meet her? ..."I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm" is still in the mall? (So is Lionel still in Springfield silently?) ...Lenny's eBay line was pretty obviously rerecorded? I can't read his lips, and they seem to be able to change the closed captions quicker now, anyone know what it was before? ...in the Flanders household, "jammin" is a swear? ...James L. Brooks insists on being called James L. Brooks in Ned's dream, but his voice credit was "Jim Brooks" (though elsewhere in the credits, it's still JLB)? ...Maggie Roswell is back in the cast, but Luann sounded completely different?

Some previous episode references: DABF09: Adrian Zmed mentioned BABF10: Ned's not eating vegetables over 2 inches seems to recall his foot-long hot dog aversion

Other references: -Altoids, the "curiously strong mint": Homer thinks a "tabloid" is one of these "really strong mints" (his words) -"The Benny Hill Show": the music and sped-up physical antics (including being chased by English cops and hitting a bald guy [Homer] on the head repeatedly) from Helen Fielding

Goofs: -It's Ned's first Jellyfish Festival alone, but Maude died a little less than 3 years ago, so this should be his third one alone (unless he found a date for the ones in 01 and 02)...well, whatever. -CBG should know what it's like to kiss a woman; he did with Agnes in CABF08...but in DABF17 (I believe) he also said he hadn't kissed one..

More to add. This episode had the 3rd Flying Nun refrence in the show.

Even more to add: when Ned was imagining living in Hollywood, there was an Angelyne billboard in the background.

And as I believe was mentioned elsewhere, we learned back in "The Trouble with Trillions" that Ned does his taxes on January 1.

Can anyone place the few notes of music that were played at some point in the episode and again at the very end:

play it like this, - is hold:

Thanks!

You mean Clair de Lune by Debussey? Or were you referring to some other music played?

Nope, not Debussey. Here, I played it into a midi keyboard:

Did you ever stop to think that there are people out there who find bottom posting just as annoying as you seem to find top posting? get over it.

Go moan at a corpse. Top-posting is the accepted standard on Usenet. Smash your computer to bits if you can't deal with it.

Yeah, common mistake since only the first few notes are what's always played when referring to that piece rather than the parts used in last night's ep...

I thought it was the orchestral version of the Itchy and Scratchy theme.

Hmmm, sounds like the _Mission Impossible_ theme

Right, I have the same feeling. And it's something I've seen or heard recently, too. My first thought before I posted was from the end of The Abyss (same type of scene you describe) but I just checked that scene, and this isn't the music.

But we're on the right track.

It's from Ocean's Eleven.

I knew it was a Julia Roberts movie, but I was thinking some sort of sappy romance, so it took a while. It plays at the end scene when they're looking at the fountains in front of the casinos.

It's *not* from Ocean's Eleven. It's a classical piece composed by Debussy in the late 1800's which was used for the soundtrack during the movie.
