watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work

open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk

put in the movie

gdi it has to be rewound

press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way

start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning

FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie

and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD

Okay crisis averted.

although. these ads are kind of quiet. a little hard to hear.....

Reading books that you know are a part of a long series can be funny. Like sure, M. Poirot, as you insist, this is last case you involve yourself in. There's only 29 more books and even more short stories that all are reportedly involve you. Do tell me more about your retirement plan.

Dr Sheppard: Hello, Mr Poirot.

Poirot: Hastings used to call me that, too...

Dr Sheppard:... That IS your name.

THE PRINCESS DIARIES dir. Garry Marshall (2001)

Me looking at my assignments for AU Roulette: I don't know that I can really do this AU; none of the potential options seem to have enough characters, and I don't want to have to pick and choose. Take this option, for example; there's [role], which could be played by Colonel Hogan, and Colonel Klink and Schultz would be [other roles], and then I guess you also have [this role] [that role] and [the next role]...

...wait, I think I might have some ideas...

I think it would be funny to write a murder mystery where not only did every single character involved have an obvious motive to kill this mf, they were actually all attempting to murder him first, but the murder attempts all cancelled each other out all except for one. Two people tried to poison him but the poisons just happen to work as antidotes for each other, and instead of killing him only gave him the shits, and due to having the shits he couldn't go hunting that day like he had planned, foiling the plans of the one who had conditioned his favourite hunting horse to panic and bolt at the cue of a whistle, and the other murder attempt of tampering with his gun so that it would have exploded his whole face off.

The whole mystery isn't about who could have done it or how, but who was the one who got lucky and actually succeeded.

When I was in high school a friend of mine would host murder mystery dinners once or twice a year. They were the kind you could buy as a kit -- I don't even know if they exist anymore -- and everyone was assigned (or chose) a character, then received a booklet of clues to share. The idea was to spend an evening in a one-shot LARP designed like an Agatha Christie novel.

I was a year above most of them at school so they threw a "goodbye" murder mystery for me just before graduation, and about 2/3 of the way through the game we all realized that everyone had at least attempted to kill the victim. The game then shifted from "whodunnit" to "who succeeded in dunninit" which we all felt was not only super fun but above the usual level of narrative complexity for those games.

After we solved it, we discovered that the game wasn't from a kit -- the host had written it herself and meticulously printed out the booklets in replica style of the kits. It was the best going-away party I think I could possibly have had.

I got my AU Roulette assignments!!! 🥳

Overall, I’m really happy with what I got. I didn’t get the one specific AU that I already had some ideas for (which I didn’t really expect to, and also there’s nothing stopping me from writing that fic, too), but I like what I’ve got. If the one AU is what I think it is, it has a lot of potential…I just have to figure out who to pair up.

This idea would work for AU #1...except it would feel more like a Nero Wolfe AU than a Hogan's Heroes AU, and I'm not sure how well I can write Archie Goodwin. I'll have to think on that.

Nero Wolfe points of interest now that I've read the first two decades' worth* (up through Curtains for Three**):

Up through Before I Die (1947), Archie has a tendency to state how long he's worked for Wolfe, and that number does increase until he gets to ten years, at which point he starts saying that he's been working for Wolfe "for over ten years."

Interestingly, Archie does state in "The Gun with Wings" (Curtains for Three, 1951) that he's known Lily Rowan for seven years, even though it's closer to ten if you go by publishing dates.

Fritz has been working for Wolfe for at least 20 years as of The Silent Speaker (1946).

It takes a long while for Inspector Cramer to stop lighting his cigars (in "Instead of Evidence" (Trouble in Triplicate, 1949), Archie even says that he and Wolfe have watched him light his cigar at least 200 times) and even longer for Archie to start explicitly stating that he chews on them ("Man Alive," Three Doors to Death, 1950).

The office is not stated as being soundproof until Black Orchids (1942), and even then, it's just the door/wall between the office and the front room. Both the doors from the front room to the hallway and office are soundproof as of "Before I Die" (Trouble in Triplicate, 1949), and the office as a whole isn't soundproof until "Disguise for Murder" (Curtains for Three, 1951).

Archie mentions in both Too Many Cooks and "Cordially Invited to Meet Death" (Black Orchids, 1942) that his name is not short for Archibald.

The glass panel by the door that Archie (and Fritz and whoever else) uses to see who's at the door is simply a window with a curtain as of "Cordially Invited to Meet Death" (Black Orchids, 1942) and doesn't become a one-way glass panel until "Omit Flowers" (Three Doors to Death, 1950).

Lon Cohen first appears in The Silent Speaker (1946).

The red leather first appears in Where There's a Will (1940) and is not described as being leather until Black Orchids (1942).

Fred has been forever banished from Wolfe's table because he once stirred vinegar into the sauce for his squab and Wolfe does not like when people put vinegar on things; thus, Fred has to eat in the kitchen even when Saul and Orrie get to eat in the dining room (Where There's a Will, 1940).

Saul is married ("Bullet for One") and lives in Brooklyn, where he owns two houses (Black Orchids, 1942).

Archie is very consistent about describing Saul as short with a big-nose. In "Disguise for Murder," he states that Saul is 5'7".

Orrie is going bald ("Bullet for One," Curtains for Three, 1951).

*When I say "two decades' worth" I mean "the books written in the 30s/40s" rather than the first twenty years' worth of books.

**ALSO I didn't take notes on And Be a Villain, The Second Confession, In the Best Families, or Too Many Women.

#original post #Nero Wolfe #Archie Goodwin #Rex Stout #I have over 25 pages of notes on these books and I've only just gotten to the 50s #I might end up starting a second document so it doesn't take so long to LOAD #and also so I don't have to scroll so far all the time #Teddy Bear musings
