I have a question, a cereal one: Toward the end of the episode, when Butters enters the "white room of nothingness", is that a reference to THX 1138?

I DID get the reference to Alien Resurrection, wherein butter's imagination renders his dad, and Santa, as mutated science experiments complete with tentacles instead of limbs.

It's been so long since I've seen THX 1138...but now that you mention it, it could be.

Quite frankly, I found the movie boring, being unable to separate the story from the overall look, and pace, of the film. Techniques like that are better left to plays, imho.

It did remind me of, now my mind is going, the Aldous Huxley novel.

Although, it b-school, analyzing a magazine ad, I pointed out that "THX Sound" was a George Lucas reference to his first movie, to the yawns of my classmates, as well as gaining me sarcasm from the professor, getting an overly trivial reference in a consumer marketing class.
