Flashbacks would be fine...if they were at least consistent.
Thirteen months earlier, 8 days ago, 66 years prior, 5 years in the past...come on already. -
It's trying WAY too hard to be like Lost. The flashbacks are extremely disjointed and annoying, IMO.

Quote:I wouldn't say he cared all that much. Given the amount of laughing that he and Brock did over the various times and methods of the clones' deaths. To me, the speed suit thing was the epitome of the father trying to force his son down the path that the dad wants, regardless of the kid's feelings.Originally Posted by LiquidX
Even with the clones, he still cared. Like when Rusty took Dean shopping for his very first Speed Suit. -
Quote:The only reason he's started to care about 'em is because he doesn't have the clones any more to replace 'em when they do something stupid like jump off the roof while wearing a Batman outfit.Originally Posted by LiquidX
That's pretty much it. Rusty think's Dean lives for it (Much like his father), which is why he keeps pushing Dean twords it. Hank, he believes, rebels against it. And despite what you think, I think this shows some great character growth on Rusty's part. Is he misguided? Yes, he is. But at the same time, he truly DOES care for the boys, otherwise he wouldn't identify with hanks "Rebellion" and feel sorry for Hank being stuck in the very same life he himself hated.
It may be a mistake on his part, but it doesen't change the fact that his heart is in the right place. -
Quote:And when they did the universe-hopping episode, even the Meg that was hot by the baseline universe standards was, well, a 2 at best.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
It's a running joke that they constantly throw insults at Meg that make no sense. She's too fat, too ugly, too masculine, whatever ya got. The fact of the matter is that she's completely average. The writer's just go over the top out of their aforementioned frustration.
My favorite part of the episode? When Herbert told 'em why he hated James Woods. Laughed like crazy at that. -

You are correct, It is for a class. It's just English in general, since we have to perform one of these speeches every year regardless. It's usually pretty simple, but your free to bring in props and such if desired. I believe it is intended for memorization and delivery.
Thank you all for being so helpful! Feel free to put any more monologues up here if you want, I find them enjoyable, and I'm sure others do too.
Here's one that would be fun as everything to do:
-Warlord Ghazghkull Thraka, Graffiti on Warlord Battle Titan wreckage, found by Dark Angels at Westerisle, Piscina IVQuote:I'm da hand of Gork and Mork, dey sent me to rouse up da boyz to crush and kill ‘cos da boyz forgot what dere ‘ere for. I woz one of da boyz till da godz smashed me in da ‘ead an’ I ‘membered dat Orks is meant to conquer and make slaves of everyfing they don’t kill. I’m da profit of da Waaagh an’ whole worlds burn in my boot prints.
On Armour-Geddem, I led da boyz through da fire deserts and smashed da humies’ metal cities to scrap. I fought Yarik, old one-eye at Tarturus, an’ he fought good but we smashed iz city too.
I’m death to anyfing dat walks or crawls, where I go nothin’ stands in my way. We crushed da stunties on Golgotha, an’ we caught old one-eye when da speed freeks blew da humies’ big tanks ta bits. I let ‘im go ‘cause good enemies iz ‘ard to find, an Orks need enemies ta fight like they need meat ta eat an’ grog ta drink.
I iz more cunnin’ than a grot an’ more killy than a dread, da boyz dat follow me can’t be beat. On Pissenah we jumped da marine-boyz an’ our bosspoles was covered in da helmets we took from da dead ‘uns. We burned dere port an’ killed dere bosses an’ left nothin’ but ruins behind. I’m Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka an’ I speak wiv da word of da gods. We iz gonna stomp da ‘ooniverse flat an’ kill anyfing that fights back. We iz gonna do this coz’ we’re Orks an’ we was made ta fight an’ win! -

Hank's finally learning! Keep him till the ransom check clears!

Best part was when Rollo and the other guys got up and left. And then that one guy answered the bread.

I like Fauxlivia better than the other names.

I know Darkseid is the main villain...however, it's been stated that we weren't going to see him right away.
...and yes...fake lex is terrible. -
That is the big bad. Much like how Doomsday was hinted at all through the season.
They need to go out with a bang. Like at least half the episode being a final fight between a fully suited and flying Clark and that guy. None of this wussing out with two or three hits in super slow mo that lasts a total of 15 seconds.
Fake Lex <<< Real Lex. Really cheap way of bringing Lex back. Also, that kid Lex creeps me right the hell out. -
Yet another difference...Kennedy was never assassinated. That ambering is cool though.

I know this feeling...
It was a huge costume contest in Atlas, and my lowbie was dutifully in line, trying to look heroic. It dawned on us that the judge had been DC'd.
So for all we know, Troy is on a desperate mission on another planet, left helpless by exposure to Hickmanite, frantically trying to figure out how to snatch victory from the jaws of certain defeat at the hands of his archnemesis.
Or he may have gone to Canada.
-
I think the purpose of the snatch-n-grab at the University was so that PL could get the plans to that machine of his and recreate his phantom limbs and do away with the prostethics.

I've had the Mexican Coca-cola and it's quite good. The real sugar makes a difference. I've found it in gas stations around here for around $1.20 a glass bottle.
$600 for a 12 pack of Pepsi Blue! Jimminy christmas! -
Quote:I think that may be why I dislike them so much. In a universe in which the planet in question happens to be a disc floating on the backs of four elephants that are in turn supported by a cosmic chelonian, where gods are real and have...violent...opposition to people who disbelieve in them, where trolls are made out of rocks and have diamond teeth, where there's teatotaling vampires and equal rights campaigns for zombie, "real" characters stick out like a sore thumb.Originally Posted by Coin
I agree with Zikar, the Witches are pretty much my favourite characters in the Discworld series. They're easily the most.....real of characters in that everyone knows an old woman like them
But, then, that's the beauty of the Discworld books, something for everyone
I dun like realism in my fantasy.

For an anime twist, I'd say the Urusei Yatsura Movie #2: Beautiful Dreamer. 90 minutes long, unrated. Can't recall if there's any toplessness of Lum in it though. It's, IMO, one of the best anime movies to ever come out.

Quote:Uh no.Originally Posted by Zikar
Ignore this. While Equal Rites is one of the early books, and thus Pratchett was still finding his feet in the stories, I've just finished reading Wyrd Sisters and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Weatherwax is one of those characters I just can't stand. Nanny Ogg is ok in small doses. I do have her cookbook BTW.
But they just aren't an enjoyable read to me. Not nearly on the level of say, Nobby Nobs and Fred Colon in the Watch. Or Mort & Death. Or Rincewind and the Luggage. They are just...dry. -
Quote:My two cents...Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Hmmmm, been looking into reading Pratchett. Guess I should check out Discworld first... any recommendations?
Avoid the Witches books. Namely Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, and Lords and Ladies. Maskerade and Carpe Jugulum are ok, but those early Witches books are, to me, the driest and least interesting of the lot.
I would start with the Watch books. Namely Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, The Fifth Elephant, The Truth, Night Watch, Monstrous Regiment, and Thud!. Or possibly start with the one-shotters, like Small Gods, Moving Pictures, and Pyramids. -
Dr. Evil's monologue from when he's in group during the first Austin Powers movie. He's describing his childhood. Dunno if it's 3 minutes though, but you could work with it.

Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic's chemistry together is great to watch. In fact, all the Castle cast has that playful vibe going.

I had forgotten how much I've missed Castle. Beckett looks good with long hair too.

Quote:What if it offered a form of synthetic flesh/binding agent to protect a wound sustained on trail (think bio-foam from Halo)? Or for the hiker who gets in over his head and ends up with ripped clothing or finds that the trail is covered in nettles or other thorny agents while he's only wearing shorts?Originally Posted by Impish Kat
This would describe me... day hikes, weekend backpacking, & short through-hikes. I would NEVER consider bringing an AEROSOL CAN of ANYTHING. Even considering food, eating utensils, stove necessities, & first aid items, I pack as lightly & EFFICIENTLY as possible.
There is nothing efficient, environmentally friendly, or useful about this product.
In my book, it is epic fail.
.
I can definitely see usage there.
