A stream-of-consciousness Web journal, containing
links, commentary, and pointless drivel.
Do indulge me in a brief addendum to my Family Guy rant a few days ago.
Last night's episode had the following scene transition:
It's an establishing shot. Right? Well, for those of you in the audience who have studied the audio-commentary tracks of the Simpsons DVD sets with seminarial fervor, quick: what was the sound effect they always put on establishing shots of the Nuclear Power Plant?
And have a guess at what sound effect was used in the background of this Family Guy shot.
The only question is whether it was an intentional homage and sidelong winking industry/Film Roman injoke, or a rote lift?
