the barton fink bit only works within the context of the episode but the rashomon joke is so simple it could be a far side cartoon.

Ok. 7 years ago, I made this in one day for a Directing class. Hired actors. We set my flat on fire with NO budget. (If you’ve not seen the film, read the description for the setup.) I changed the genders. vimeo.com/270538513

My dad used to call it Fart'n'Blink. Apparently that was his only reaction upon seeing it. He fancied himself very clever.
