Bedlam, Chaos and Other Nonsense

I have opinions on things, and I'm going to be loud about them. Mostly popular media. Too old for this website, but I honestly can't quit y'all.

Ten things I hate about you but High School Musical is happening in the same high school

[bedlemboy]

"She's All That" but at Sunnydale High. Buffy is clearly in the background, fighting vampires. No one seems to notice.

As my ancestor once said. . .

Listen, I understand why they had Spock clarify WHICH ancestor he was talking about, and it was in fact relevant to the Holodeck episode at hand, but I firmly believe that as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's descendant that Spock would absolutely know that Doyle HATED Sherlock Holmes and take great pains to never bring the character up, EVER.

~

Kirk: "The game is afoot, gentlemen!"

Spock: "I'm not familiar with that phrase, Captain."

McCoy: "What? The single most beloved character in human history? How?"

Spock: "Well, my ancestor DID do some hobby writing, but I know him better as a scientist."

~

While we're at it, if Spock DOES bring Doyle up, have it be in reference his work with Harry Houdini trying to prove the existence of the afterlife. Have him wax poetic (Vulcan poetry, let's not go crazy) about Doyle and Houdini inspiring him to remain a scientist after his rejection of the Vulcan Science Academy, and encourages him to think outside the box of normal logical parameters, which has always helped him in his duties on the Enterprise.

AND THEN

Make it related to a mystery of the week.

Spock: . . . I may have some relevant information about these beings in one of my ancestor's old notebooks, Captain.

Pike: You mean about the fairies that are harassing this border colony along the Klingon frontier?

Spock: . . . Yes.

Also Much Ado About Nothing

*lights my hilariously large pipe, whilst wearing a tweed jacket, with a faux-British accent*

If you'll read the text closely, we are clued in to Beatrice and Benedick' impending matrimony from the very beginning!

"Beatrice," from the Latin Beatrix, of course, means "Bringer of Joy."

"Benedick" is, naturally, Italian for "excellent penis," and means much the same thing.

It was destiny, and a dick joke, as is classic Shakespeare.

[bedlemboy]

Much Ado About Nothing

Beatrice/Benedick: I hate this person in particular. They are so fucking annoying. I will destroy them in iambic pentameter, because you can't actually murder someone in a Comedy.

Nearby secondary character: They are actually in love with you.

Beatrice/Benedick, with no hesitation: Sounds right. I'm going to dig out my sonnet-writing quill immediately, and find a suitable platter on which to offer them my warm, bloody, still beating heart.

My favorite part of Beatrice and Benedick's chemistry.

Safe House, 84 dvd's in to the Nicholas Cage Collection

<Iris by Goo Goo Dolls plays in the background>

Dr. Kevin Cozner: . . . And who is THIS gentleman?

Jake Peralta: I TOLD you, he's Seth, the angel who secretly yearns to become human to win the love of Meg Ryan.

Dr. Kevin Cozner: No. The gentleman standing next to Nicholas Cage.

Peralta: You mean Cassiel, his best friend who serves as foil by exemplifying contentment within his given role?

Dr. Kevin Cozner: Hm. Good Heavens, he's. . . quite severe, isn't he?

Jake: . . . I guess there's something about him. Are you into that? Should I leave?

Dr. Kevin Cozner: Sshh.

Jake: . . .

Jake: . . .

Jake: When I was a kid, I used to pretend Cassiel was my dad.

Star Trek's Vulcans are basically Space Elves.

Allow me to explain:

-Pointy ears.

-Otherworldly Knowledge and Wisdom.

-(if taking care of themselves properly) can live for potentially thousands of years.

-Views humanity as innovative little babies.

-Mind Magic.

-Unique Martial Arts Techniques.

I rest my case.

Elf Lord of Beleriand: "Hey, what's the password to the Doors of Durin, which will allow the elves to freely pass to the Halls of Khazad-Dum?"

Durin I: "Guest."

Elf Lord: "That's. . . That's a little condescending, don't you think?"

My current Star Trek conspiracy theory is that the reason we've only rarely seen Admiral Janeway since the end of Voyager is because she's a leading figure in the oft-mentioned but as-yet unseen Temporal Wars.

[bedlemboy]

Star Wars AU centered on an Inquisitor who joined the Dark Side because he hates Anakin Skywalker almost as much as Vader does.

-------

Vader: "Anakin Skywalker was weak. I destroyed him!"

Inquisitor kneels, tears in his eyes: "Ugh, he was the fucking worst! I'm glad someone finally kicked the shit out of him like he deserved!"

Vader: ". . . Uh."

Inquisitor: "Obviously, I'm in for whatever you're doing here. Any enemy of that prick is okay in my book!"

-------

Vader keeps looking for reasons to kill him, but he is frustratingly the most competent and loyal in the entire Inquisition. Because the true secret to power among the Sith is just an intense hatred of Anakin Skywalker.

I guess what I really want out of life is to have that off-stage scene where MacBeth murders King Duncan brought onstage.

MacBeth is played by Rowan Atkinson.

The scene is forty minutes long.

Duncan dies by accident.

Bilbo Baggins, finder of oddities

Having re-watched 'The Hobbit,' I can't help but notice that Bilbo JUST RANDOMLY HAPPENED to have tripped over: two lost swords belonging to the Kings of the Nolder in a random troll cache, the One Ring in a pit he happened to fall into, and the Arkenstone while running from a dragon. Given these 'coincidences,' I'm convinced the reason Gandalf insisted on escorting him all the way back to the Shire was because he feared that if Bilbo was unsupervised for longer than ten minutes he would have also ended up tripping over the lost Dragon-Helm of Dor-Lomin, any number of the missing palantirs and at least one of the Silmarils that were prophesied to stay lost until the End of the Arda.

Elrond & Durin IV

I am setting aside the many, many, many things wrong with Amazon's Rings of Power, and choosing instead to embrace young Elrond's role as Durin IV's ADHD friend with golden retriever energy.

------

Celebrimbor: This task will be a mighty undertaking, and will require mighty tools. Young Elrond: OMI, MY BEST FRIEND KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT! I'LL GO GET HIM!!! (runs out)

------

Young Elrond: THERE'S DURIN! HE'S MY BEST FRIEND hemaybelooksmadforsomereasonthatsweird but I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM!!

------

Young Elrond: BEST FRIENDS BREAKING ROCKS TOGETHER! HE'S SO GREAT AT IT, I BETTER NOT MAKE IT EASY SO HE CAN SHOW EVERYBODY HOW STRONG HE IS!!!

------

Durin IV (vibrating with indignant rage): Do you. . . have any idea. . . how long it's been since you last visited?

Young Elrond (trying to remember how time works): Like. . . a week?

Durin IV: TWENTY YEARS!! YOU GHOSTED ME, YOU INCONSIDERATE ELF BITCH!!

Young Elrond: That doesn't sound right. What are years, again?

Durin IV: You missed my WEDDING!!

Young Elrond: OMI MY BEST FRIEND GOT MARRIED!! TELL ME EVERYTHING SHE SOUNDS AWESOME I'M SO HAPPY!!!! :DDDDD

Durin IV: . . . Alright, we'll make a detour. But you're not staying for dinner.

Young Elrond: I LOVE DWARF FOOD!! :DDDD

Durin IV: (sighs wearily)

More Incorrect Star Wars quotes, again!

Anakin to the Council: Where is all this hate coming from? You guys tell me I’m the best all the time!

<cut> Rex: You’re the best, General!

<cut> Rex: You’re the best, General!

<cut> Rex: General Skywalker, you’re the best!

Anakin: . . . Y’know, that might just be Rex.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anakin: The doctor said all my bleeding was internal. That’s where blood is SUPPOSED to be!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anakin: Master, we just caught a serial killer! I’ve wanted to do that since I was four years old!

Kenobi: That’s troubling.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rex: Welcome to the 501st, General. I'm Captain Rex.

Pong Krell: And I'm not interested. I have no use for clones. I find clones weird and confusing. I live my life by numbers. You see this watch? It tells me how many calories I burn at any time. Question- how many calories do you think I burned walking from there to there? You, clone closest to me.

Dogma: Oh! Uh, three?

Pong Krell: Three?! Haaaa ha-ha-ha! Try 0.8, numbnuts! I made promises to my superiors that I most certainly cannot keep. That's why I need you idiots to work twice as hard- no, no! Strike that! Four times as hard! No, no no! Strike that! I NEED YOU MORONS TO WORK EIGHT TIMES HARDER THAN YOU'VE EVER WORKED, IN YOUR ENTIRE LIVES! I'm having a heart attack. Yep, I'm having a heart attack. . . Get back to work.

Ahsoka: Name one thing Rex can do that I can’t!

Anakin: Roller skate like an angel?

Ahsoka: Whore! I’m great at skating! Or have you forgotten Barris Offee’s fourth grade birthday party?

Anakin: I have definitely forgotten that. Can you look exactly like this Rex decoy I hired?

Cut-up: Sup?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahsoka to Cut-up: If you’re going to pose as me, you need a little more Beyonce swagger. . . Alright, working with what you got, I guess.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahsoka: On the bright side, you got Masters Kenobi and Skywalker off their hunger strike. 

Mace Windu: I just threw a bunch of popcorn on the floor. It wasn’t that hard.

Ahsoka: Yeah, they’re animals.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenobi: Normally, it’d be our word against theirs, but luckily the Clones were all wearing body cams! 

Anakin: You see, Master, the thing about cameras is that they don’t really tell the whole objective truth. Images can be distorted. People can appear naked.

Kenobi: What are you talking about?

Rex: General Skywalker is completely nude in the footage, sir.

Kenobi: WHY?!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anakin: Baba-booie! Cornholio! . . . And that’s it for my prepared remarks. Any questions?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenobi: I want to show you a picture from last night that really upset me.

Anakin: In my defense, Ahsoka bet me 5 credits that I couldn’t drink all that shampoo.

Kenobi: That’s not what. . . You drank shampoo? 

Anakin: . . . No. You’re the one farting bubbles.

Quinlan Vos: How can I be caressing HER with MY pecs?

Quinlan: Ventress has a ranch on Dathomir where she goes when she’s on the run. She’s there now, getting rid of the scorpions. Or adding more scorpions. I dunno, the reception was bad.
