Inception, anyone?

Did anyone notice this episode borrowed certain themes from Inception? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.174.96.50 (talk) 08:27, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hemingway

[edit]

It seems very odd that this entry mentions nothing about Hemingway. There are a number of references, both explicit and implicit. The title is a reference to Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, to which there are more than a few references, including the 'running of the bullies' during the montage, which is a reference to the running of the bulls in Pamplona. One of Michael Cera's first lines is a quote from Hemingway. Lisa describes him as 'Hemingway-esque'. Large parts of the novel are based around the cafe culture and binges on wine, which are again made use of. During the montage the pair have signs saying 'war journalist', which ties into both protagonist Barnes' history as an injured veteran and his career as a journalist. Moe in the very next scene, when they're writing up their notes, points to a sign that says 'All prose must be spare and true'; a reference to Hemingway's pared back writing style in which all extraneous detail was removed. His first and second wives feature as characters in the closing scene. I find it a bit baffling that there is a significant section on Myth Busters but nothing of what inspired the main story arc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.65.239.37 (talk) 21:44, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
