   Notes for VABF02 (Barthood)

   Ummm, OK? I haven't seen Boyhood. I imagine if I had it would have been more   
   interesting and maybe actually funny; as it was, I could only try to imagine,   
   and it was just kind of high-concept, not particularly clever, and pointless.   
   I appreciate (and    
   have no idea if this is related to the movie) the Bart/Lisa rivalry story, but   
   even BABF13 had a more engaging version of that. I'm not sure, either, why the   
   various time jumps aren't clearly marked, especially since the first one is.   
      
   On the other hand, the couch gag was cute, inasmuch as it appears to be   
   inspired by Linklater's Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly and their rotoscoped   
   styles.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the episode is a rare TV-14 (I am supposing for the handful of weed   
   references)?   
   ...Lisa is responsible for the boat painting this time?   
   ...Homer and Abe have very unusual half-bald looks now?   
   ...the pennants are back?   
   ...Martin seems to be the only child whose voice changed in any significant   
   way?   
   ...Bart spells it "Grampa" (not, the way we usually see and hear it, Grandpa)?
