It was Barbara in the dining room with the fish.

Julia Roberts uses her telekinesis to crucify Streep with kitchen knives. The house is then swallowed into the ground by fire.

And then it switches to black and white, and Judy Garland wakes up in her bed with pigtails.

She actually wakes up in bed with pigs feet and realizes that she's actually a pig being sent to slaughter and while on the conveyer belt of death she imagined a world where she could be free, right before getting her throat slit as the 3D blood splatters across the audience and everyone who wasn't looking down at their interactive iPads also sees Julia Roberts working the conveyer belt and tweaking to Enya music while being plowed from behind by a Satyr named Angus who is singing the score to GUYS & DOLLS and watching the game on TV at the same time.

My vote goes to the Amy Morton alt. ending.

According to the article, the ending they have is different from the play. So I guess it doesn't matter.

The nurse should turn to Meryl and say, "Forget it Violet, it's Osage County."

Two things: I'll correct JC's earlier post and say, "Barbra" instead of "Barbara". I mean, Streisand has to make everything better.

Then logan2 pops up. YES.

"She's my daughter! She's my sister! She's my daughter!"

I love a good Chinatown reference.

I'd like to see Violet and the Indian reveal the house to be a spaceship that takes blasts back home to another planet.

Had nobody thought that the Indian woman is there to reclaim the land that the Weston family stole when they built their house on top of her tribe's ancient burial ground?

Do we have the technology to reanimate Zelda Rubenstein's corpse? Just long enough for her to walk in and say, 'This house...is clean.'

^^^^

I LOVE it!!

You can't choose between life and death when we're dealing with what is in between family. Now tell her before it's too late.

I liked my own post so much that I just made Zelda Rubinstein (I spelled it wrong the first time!) my cover photo on Facebook!

Streep & Roberts ride horseback along the beach, where they see the top of the Statue of Liberty sticking out of the sand.

Violet had the Heart of the Ocean the entire time! And then threw it in that nasty Oklahoma creek that runs behind the house.

For all the twists in the play, there's one that wasn't used... Violet IS Beverly. At the end, the wig comes off. "I am your father!"

"Violet had no resistance to the bacteria in our atmosphere to which we have long since become immune. Once she had breathed our air, germs, which no longer affect us, began to kill her. The end came swiftly. All over the world, her machines began to stop and fall. After all that men could do had failed, Violet was destroyed and humanity was saved by the littlest things, which God, in His wisdom, had put upon this Earth."

Kad, what is this? Am I blanking completely here? Missing the joke? It's been a long couple of days, and my brain is fried. Pardon my ignorance.

OH, GOD. How embarrassing. It just occurred to me. War of the Worlds.
