Is It College Yet?: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

Daria and Tom Sloane break up at the movie's end. Daria gets into [[Raft College]] instead of [[Bromwell]], and convinces Jane to apply to BFAC, where Jane is accepted. Both girls plan to continue their friendship as time and schoolwork allow, and the movie ends on a high note with their toast to the future.

==Cut scenes==

This has been released on DVD twice, and both times it had a number of small cuts (usually brief lines) - the full version has only ever been seen on television. The cuts mainly have extra jokes, and aren't noticeable at all if you weren't previously aware of them.

The exceptions are:

* Sandi deliberately bringing up that Stacy can't get a date on her birthday but she could, starting off the events that will lead to her being 'cursed'

* The revelation that the cheerleader's are all going to the same college because it's the only one that will accept their bad grades

* [[Andrew Landon]] waving away the idea of Jodie having a breakdown and trying to tempt Mack by pointing out Crestmore is nearer to Vance than Turner.

Most seriously, an ''entire'' Tom and Daria scene is missing: they agree to meet for a date and she then abruptly decides to cancel a few seconds later. This is crucial build up for the end of their relationship. A transcript of it is:

*(Daria typing at her computer when the cordless telephone rings; she stops to answer it)

* Daria - Hello.

* Tom - Hey, Daria. Up to anything?

* Daria - Just my usual nefarious tricks, and I'm working on a short story. Or at least it was twenty pages ago.

* Tom - Want to take a break and go to the Hitchcock Festival? Rope is playing. I thought a film about bumping off your Ivy-League classmate would help us get in the spirit for next year.

* Daria - Hmm. I'll admit, a good murder movie never fails to cheer me up.

* Tom - How about we meet there? It'll save me some time if I don't have to swing by your place on the way.

* Daria - Sure.

* Tom - Great! See you inside at seven-thirty. (he turns off telephone)

* (Daria shuts off phone and resumes typing; after a couple seconds, she stops and picks up telephone, hitting a speed-dial; back to split screen with Tom as he answers on first ring)

* Tom - Hello.

* Daria - On second thought, I really shouldn't leave my protagonist all alone just after her eyeballs have burst. How about later in the week?

* Tom - Um, okay. Give me a call when you're free.

* Daria - Okay, bye. (she hangs up and split screen ends as she resumes typing)

==Trivia==

Line 65:

Like "Is It Fall Yet?", the movie opens with a fantasy title sequence and a newly commissioned song by [[Splendora]] (about college being a pain in the ass). The sequence shows various iconic images of college life in America (and pisstakes thereof) throughout the 20th century, with the images given the appropriate "film quality" and characters wearing period costumes.

This has been released on DVD twice, and both times it had a number of small cuts (usually brief lines) - the full version has only ever been seen on television. The cuts mainly have extra jokes, and aren't noticeable at all if you weren't previously aware of them. The exceptions are a brief Tom and Daria scene, where they agree to meet for a date and she then abruptly decides to cancel a few seconds later (build up for the end of their relationship); the revelation that the cheerleader's are all going to the same college because it's the only one that will accept their bad grades; and [[Andrew Landon]] waving away the idea of Jodie having a breakdown and trying to tempt Mack by pointing out Crestmore is nearer to Vance than Turner.

The various colleges the characters talk about being interested in have obvious parallels with real-life schools. Raft College, for example, is likely Tufts, a prestigious school on the outskirts of Boston, while Bromwell is probably Yale, given its distance from Boston and location of New Town (New Haven). Crestmore (described by Mack as "the dream of dreams") may be Harvard or a school of comparable quality in another part of the country, such as Stanford.
