Writer's Block: Happy birthday, savvy?

icycolour — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 22:02:14 GMT

Well, I love most of Johnny's films, so it is really hard to pick a favorite. I suppose I would say that the POTC films are very high on the list, but I can't forget the first film that I ever saw him in: Edward Scissorhands.

icycolour — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 22:42:31 GMT

Think about the year that has passed. All the memories, the entries and posts that made the year special. Think about all your past layouts, default icons, mood themes. How about all those conversations you had via comments, or the huge post in ONTD that you spent all night commenting on. The 2011 Scrapbook Post is a way to help you remember all of that, in a single post. Based on an idea by telltale @ 2011scrapbook

Picspam: For the Love of Cats

icycolour — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:07:24 GMT

For picspammy's Challenge #13, Something Different. I have only made a few picspams in the past, but it is quickly becoming a new favorite thing of mine. The ones that I have done though have been about movies or films. I chose to picspam my favorite animal for my entry for the "Something Different" challenge. It was a hard choice to choose between cats and horses since I love both animals, but I decided to give cats more love since they always seem to be overlooked by their canine counterparts.

Picspam: BURN-E | Wall-E Pixar Short

icycolour — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:06:15 GMT

Created for the eleventh challenge (short form) at picspammy. I love this short; it is amazing how they incorporate little shots from the film into this short to give the viewers a timeline of how events are progressing. I feel bad for little Burn-E; all the trouble he had to go through for a simple repair.

Picspam: The Princess and the Frog Trailer

icycolour — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:05:35 GMT

Created for the eleventh challenge (short form) at picspammy. This looks like such an intriguing movie; I'm very happy that Disney made this into the more traditional 2D version, than all the 3D ones that seem to be always coming out these days. It looks very cute, and if I had to place the movie, I would say it would be Louisiana. There are a lot of signs witch point this film to the bayou... IMO.

Picspam: Wizard of Oz vs Tin Man

icycolour — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:03:58 GMT

For the tenth challenge (compare & contrast) at picspammy. This was a rather hard challenge for me and I wished that I could have gotten this posted sooner than the LAST DAY of the challenge!

I hope I did these fandoms justice; Tin Man is so much more detailed, has more characters, and has more of a story line than the Wizard of Oz does.

DG (Tin Man) | Dorothy (Wizard of Oz)
In the more modern version, DG (which stands for Dorothy Gale), is a waitress at a small-town dinner in rural Kansas. DG feels like she doesn't belong in Kansas and longs for the place where she will belong; although she doesn't have a clue to what it is.

Dorothy is more of a singer in the Wizard of Oz. She is a day-dreamer fantasizing about a land 'over the rainbow'. During her adventures in Oz, she will find out that the grass is not always greener on the other side; she will also gain a better appreciation for her friends, her family, and her home back in Kansas.

Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) | Dorothy Gale (Tin Man)
Examples of the character of Dorothy in both versions. In Tin Man, Dorothy Gale is DG's ancestor in the O.Z. She was the first to cross from one world and into the other. Dorothy Gale is the secret to gaining the emerald.

Emily/Hank & DG's Real Family (Tin Man) | Auntie Em & Uncle Henry (Wizard of Oz)
Emily and Hank were parental nurturing robots that were sent with DG when she left the O.Z. to protect DG from Azkadelia's rising power. They were the ones that raised DG as their own until it was time for her to go back to the O.Z. and defeat the evil witch. She is now welcomed by her real family after the evil witch's powers are defeated.

Auntie Em & Uncle Henry are the guardians of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz; they are farmers and didn't really have too much of a role in the movie.

Glitch, Cain, and Raw (Tin Man) | Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion (Wizard of Oz)
Glitch, Cain, and Raw are the equivalent to the Wizard of Oz's Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. They help DG throughout her quest in the O.Z. until the end of the story, when she is reunited with her parents.

The Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion are Dorothy's friends who also need something from the Wizard so they travel with her to the Emerald City. She says heartfelt goodbyes to each one when she has to go back to Kansas at the end of the movie. I would also like to add that their "Kansas counterparts" were hired hands who helped around the farm and where also considered to be apart of Dorothy's family.

Tutor "Toto" (Tin Man) | Toto (Wizard of Oz)
Tutor is DG's instructor who teaches DG how to effectively use her magic; he is called "Toto" because young DG wasn't able to pronounce "Tutor". He has the ability to turn into a dog throughout the whole journey.

Toto is Dorothy's beloved dog; he was taken by Miss Gultch at the beginning of the movie but ran back to Dorothy and also traveled with her to Oz.

Sheriff Gultch (Tin Man) | Elmira Gultch (Wizard of Oz)
Sheriff Gultch didn't have much of a role in Tin Man, other than giving Dorothy a speeding ticket when she was working at the dinner.

Miss Gultch is the mean old bitty who wanted to take Toto away from Dorothy because he was causing a ruckus with her livestock/pets. Unfortunately for her, Toto got the better of her and ran off to go back to Dorothy when she was riding her bicycle away from Dorothy's farmhouse.

Evil Witch (Tin Man) | Wicked Witch of the West (Wizard of Oz)
The Evil Witch possessed Azkadelia at an early age and until the end of the movie, she is portrayed as the "bad guy".

The Wicked Witch of the West will do anything to get her hands on her sister's ruby slippers—unfortunately for her, they went to Dorothy when her sister died. Now it is her mission to get those ruby slippers for herself, even it if may cost Dorothy her life.

Evil Monkey Minions (Tin Man) | (Wizard of Oz)
The evil witches' minions who do the dirty work of spying on our heroic main characters throughout their journey; they are the main cause of most of the problems along the journey.

Lavender Eyes (Tin Man) | Glenda, Good Witch of the North (Wizard of Oz)
Lavender Eyes is the Queen of the O.Z. and the good ruler who was taken down by the evil witch when she possessed her oldest daughter.

Glenda helps Dorothy find her way to the Wizard and then tells her the secret for getting her heart's desire—to get back to Kansas—at the end of the movie.

Mystic Man (Tin Man) | Professor Marvel/Wizard (Wizard of Oz)
Mystic Man is the cheap psychic in town who is drugged up on Azkadelia's vapors. He doesn't really know much about what he is doing, but he refused to reveal to the evil witch where he sent DG after she came to ask him about her mother. He met an unfortunate end for his bravery.

Professor Marvel is the psychic who warns Dorothy—when she runs away—about her Auntie Em, who was missing her and was ill with worry. The Wizard helps the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion find what they thought they were 'missing' throughout the whole story.

Kansas (Tin Man) | (Wizard of Oz)

O.Z. (Tin Man) | Oz (Wizard of Oz)
O.Z. was depicted as more of an alternate universe in Tin Man than the dream like state that Oz was shown as in the Wizard of Oz.

Tornado (Tin Man) | (Wizard of Oz)
The tornado was the method of travel between the worlds in Tin Man, while it did the same purpose for bringing Dorothy into Oz.

Yellow Brick Road (Wizard of Oz) | "Old Road" (Tin Man)
The yellow brick road is the main focus throughout the Wizard of Oz, while the subsequent version of the same road in Tin Man, was just part of a scene in order for DG to find her parents.

Munchcans (Tin Man) | Munchkins (Wizard of Oz)
The Munchcans did not have a very big character role in Tin Man, and their purpose was extremely different than in the Wizard of Oz. They were the first people that DG encountered when she arrived in the O.Z; this being the only similarity to the Wizard of Oz.

The Munchkins welcomed Dorothy to Oz because she killed the Wicked Witch of the East and showed her to the yellow brick road, in which she took to get to the Emerald City to see the Wizard.

Hot Air Balloon (Tin Man) | (Wizard of Oz)
Both versions use an example of the hot air balloon in some way. In Tin Man, it was a method of travel for Ahamo (DG's father) and how he first arrived in the O.Z. In the Wizard of Oz, it was the way that the Wizard arrived and left Oz.

Picspam: Secondhand Lions - "I Need You..." Scene

icycolour — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:03:04 GMT

For challenge nine (scenes & sequences) at picspammy. I watched this movie prior to the challenge being issued and I just knew that this was the scene I wanted to picspam. It's a lovely heartfelt scene in a fantastic family film. I can't sing enough praises over his movie; it's full of humor, character growth, and family values.

As a bonus, there is a little Christian Kane surprise as he plays Young Hub.

[Walter puts blanket around Hub's shoulders and pushes him on the shoulder causing Hub to scream and turn around quickly.]
Hub   (softly) What the hell? It's the middle of the night. What's the matter? What are you doing here?

Hub   You got something to say to me? Spit it out.
Walter   What happened to her, Uncle Hub? What happened to Jasmine? [Hub turns around] I have to know. I have to.
Hub   She died. Died in childbirth. Her and the baby.

Walter   What did you do?
Hub   Went back to the only life I knew—back to the Legion. [flashback] For the next 40 years, there was always one more war to fight. [present day] Then I got old and came here. Here I am. [turns to face Walter] Here I am. You cold, son?

Hub   You'd better... here. You'd better... you'd better go inside. Good boy, thank you. Good boy.
Walter   Those stories about Africa... about you... they're true, aren't they?

Hub   Doesn't matter.
Walter   It does too. Around my mom all I hear is lies. I don't know what to believe in.
Hub   If you want to believe in something, then believe in it. Just because something isn't true, that's no reason you can't believe it.

Hub   Alright. There's a long speech I give to young men, sounds like you need to hear a piece of it. Just a piece. Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor... courage and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Hub   You see, a man should believe in those things, because... those are the things worth believing in. Got that?
Walter   That was a good speech.
Hub   Think so? Thanks. Yeah...

Walter   When are you going to give me the rest of the speech?
Hub   When you're almost a man.
Walter   You promise?
Hub   Wait one minute here. Wait...
Walter   I can't be a good man until you give me the rest of the speech, right? So you need to stick around until I'm old enough to hear the whole thing.
Hub   I see what you're trying to pull here...
Walter   No, you have to stick around until I'm old enough...
Hub   I'll write it down.
Walter   No! I want you to give me the speech!
Hub   You won't be living here then.
Walter   You're my uncle. I need you to stick around and be my uncle.

Walter   What about Uncle Garth? He needs you. W-what about the dogs and the pig, and the lion? We all need you. I need you.
Hub   No, you're just being silly.
Walter   No, it's true!
Hub   You're being silly.
Walter   It's true!

Walter   I know you miss Jasmine an awful, awful lot. But if you go, we'll miss you just as much. It's true.

Hub   Alright, damn it, you win. I'll stick around and be your damn uncle. Don't expect me to be happy about it.

Hub   Alright? Deal? [Walter suddenly hugs Hub] Oh-hh! Ohh, ohh. [Hub pats Walter's back] You're a good boy. (whispers) You're a good boy. You're a good boy.

[Tony DiNozzo—NCIS | Kate Austen—Lost | Adrian Monk—Monk | Parker—Leverage]

Guard   [fending off Newkirk from a restricted area] Nein!
Newkirk   Oh no, must be half past ten by now.

Desmond   So we saved the world together for a while, and that was lovely.

The Doctor   Haven't you got a mobile?
Donna   I'm in my wedding dress; it doesn't have pockets. Who has pockets? Have you ever seen a bride with pockets? When I went to my fitting at Chez Alison, the one thing I forgot to say was Give me pockets!

Speedle   [looking for evidence in a house] Why's it always gotta be in the toilet?

Tony   [talking about Gibbs] He's standing right behind me, isn't he.

Kate   [to Jack] You did a good thing, saying what you said, taking care of everyone. If you weren't here Jack...

Monk   I don't know how he did it. But he did it.

Parker   I once saw a horse kill a clown. [Flashback to a man in a horse costume beats up another man in a clown costume] I just really don’t like horses.

10. Life
Charlie Crews

Charlie   I investigate things to complete my knowledge... My complete knowledge makes my thoughts sincere... My thoughts being sincere, my heart is pure.

Hood   Rachel, I'm a scientist, I'm not MacGyver, shot the lock.

Michael   [voice-over] I never run around in the bushes in a ski mask when I'm breaking in someplace. Somebody catches you, what are you gonna say? You want to look like a legitimate visitor until the very last minute. If you can't look legit, confused works almost as well. Maybe you get a soda from the fridge, or a yogurt. If you get caught, you just look confused and apologize like crazy for taking the yogurt—nothing could be more innocent...

1. Leverage

Hardison   Don’t get mad, but I may have spilled Slushee in your car.

Afterward, the seven-hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait... wait to die... wait to live... wait for an absolution... that would never come.

6. Iron Man
Tony Stark

Tony Stark   [reading the newspaper] "Iron Man." That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it.

5. Emma
Mr. Knightley

Mr. Knightley   [Knightley speaks of Frank Churchill who will be going to London] To get his hair cut?

4. Eagle Eye
Jerry Shaw

Jerry Shaw   No, I know nothing. Just like you don't know how to drive! Use the clutch before you shift, not while you shift!

3. Northanger Abbey
Catherine Morland

The Voice of Jane Austen   To begin perfect happiness at the respective ages of 26 and 18 is to do pretty well. Catherine and Henry were married, and in due course the joys of wedding gave way to the blessing of a christening. The bells rang and everyone smiled. No one more than so than Eleanor, who's beloved's sudden ascension to title and fortune finally allowed them to marry. I leave it to be settled whether the tendency of this story be to recommend parental tyranny or to reward filial disobedience.

2. Persuasion
Anne Eliot

Captain Wentworth   Miss Elliot, I can bear this no longer. You pierce my soul. I'm half agony, half hope. Unjust I may have been. Weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it eight years ago.

1. Pirates of the Caribbean Series
Captain Jack Sparrow

Jack Sparrow   The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that some day. And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?

Created for challenge seven at picspammy & characters are in no particular order.

5. Doctor Who
The Master

The Master   The human race. Greatest monsters of them all.

The Master   Will it stop, Doctor? The drumming? Will it stop?

4. A Knight's Tale
Count Adhemar

Adhemar   You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me?

Adhemar   Some of these poor country knights, little better then peasants.

Adhemar   Then he shows his weakness—that is all mercy is.

3. The Dark Knight
The Joker

Batman   [to The Joker] You wanted me, here I am.

The Joker   Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?

2. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd   I beg your indulgence, Anthony. My mind is far from easy.
In these once familiar streets I feel shadows... everywhere...
Anthony Hope   Shadows?
Sweeney Todd   ...Ghosts.

Sweeney Todd   These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett and desperate measures are called for...

1. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Dorian Gray

Captain Nemo   I'm impressed, Mr. Gray. You take Skinner's uniqueness in your stride.
Dorian Gray   Well, I've seen too much in my life to shock easily.

Dorian Gray   I've lived long enough to see the future become history, Professor.

For the seventh challenge at picspammy, I have way too many favorite characters, so I chose my favorite pirate! Enjoy the Captain Jack Sparrow picspam—part two of two.

PART ONE HERE
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Tia Dalma   Jack Sparrow is taken body and soul to a place not of death, but of punishment, the worst fate a person can bring upon himself stretching on forever. That's what awaits at Davy Jones' locker.

Barbossa   Jack... Which way ya goin' Jack?

Jack   I leave you people alone for just a minute and look what happens, everything's gone to pot!

Jack   Captain gives orders on the ship.
Barbossa   The captain of the ship *is* givin' orders.
Jack   My ship, makes me captain.
Barbossa   They be my charts!
Jack   Well, that makes you... [pause] ...chartman.

Jack   Not sunset... Sundown! And Rise... Up!

Will   There's a freshwater spring on this island.
We can resupply there, and get back to shooting each other later.
Jack   You can lead the shore party, and I'll stay with my ship.
Barbossa   I'll not be leaving my ship in your command.
Will   Why don't you both go ashore and leave the ship in *my* command... temporarily.

Jack   [about Barbossa] He's the captain.

Sao Feng   I'm sorry, Jack, but there's an old friend who wants to see you first.
Jack   I'm not certain I can survive any more visits from old friends.

Beckett   Perhaps you would consider an alternate arrangement,
one that requires absolutely nothing from you but information.
Jack   Regarding the Brethren Court, no doubt? In exchange for fair compensation,
square my debt with Jones, guarantee my freedom?
Beckett   Of course. It's just good business.
Jack   Were I in a divulgatory mood, what then might I divulge?

Jack   Send this pestilent, traitorous, cow-hearted, yeasty codpiece to the brig.

Elizabeth   [of the Pirate Lords and their crews fighting each other] This is madness.
Jack   This is politics.

Barbossa   You be the cur that led these wolves to our door.
Beckett   Don't blame Turner, he was merely the tool of your betrayal.
If you wish to see its grand architect, look to your left.

Jack   My hands are clean in this... figuratively.

Elizabeth   I propose an exchange. Will leaves with us, and you can take Jack.

Jack   Granted it tends to list to port and has been on occasion known to frighten young women. But I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Scarlett   [seeing a dinghy instead of the Pearl] Is that it? The Black Pearl. Not very big.
Jack   Love, that is a dinghy. My vessel is magnificent and fierce and huge-ish.
And gone. Why is it gone?
Giselle   [sees a ship in distance] Is that it there?
Jack   Yes, there it is! Why is it there? ...It's much larger up close.

Jack   Ladies, will you please shut it! Listen to me. [to Giselle] Yes, I lied to you. [to Scarlett] No, I don't love you. [to Giselle] Of course it makes you look fat. [to Scarlett] I've never been to Brussels. [to Giselle] It is pronounced *egregious*. [to Scarlett] By the way, no. I've never actually met Pizarro, but I love his pies. [to both] And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is once again gone. Savvy?

Jack   Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

For the seventh challenge at picspammy, I have way too many favorite characters, so I chose my favorite pirate! Enjoy the Captain Jack Sparrow picspam—part one of two.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

Harbormaster   Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith.

Mullroy    Hey, you. Get away from there. You don't have permission to be aboard there, mate.
Jack   I'm sorry. It's just... it's such a pretty boat... ship.

Elizabeth   You're despicable.
Jack   Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine. We're square.

Jack   You think this wise, boy... crossing blades with a pirate?

Jack   Now as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that some day. Now, me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? Can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?

Gibbs   Leverage, says you. I think I feel a change in the wind, says I.

Jack   Of the two of us, I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny, therefore my word is the one we'll be trusting. Although, I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse same as you. Funny ol' world, innit?

Elizabeth   But you're Captain Jack Sparrow. You vanished from under the eyes of seven agents of the East India Company. You sacked Nassau Port without even firing a shot. Are you the pirate I've read about or not? How did you escape last time?

Elizabeth   So that's it, then? That's the secret, grand adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow...

Elizabeth   ...You spent three days lying on a beach drinking rum.
Jack   Welcome to the Caribbean, love.

Jack   Come on. We've got the time. Let's be having it.
Elizabeth   No. I'd need a lot more to drink.
Jack   How much more?

Jack   If I may be so bold as to inject my professional opinion. The Pearl was listing near to scuppers after the battle. It's very unlikely she'll be able to make good time. Think about it. The Black Pearl. The last real pirate threat in the Caribbean, mate. How can you pass that up?

Elizabeth   Whose side is Jack on?
Will   At the moment?

Jack   Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

Town Clerk   ...impersonating an officer of the Royal Navy; impersonating a clergy of the Church of England...
Jack   Oh yeah, heh heh.

Town Clerk   ...arson; kidnapping; perjury; piracy; pilfering; deprivation of a Federal Loyalist. For these crimes you will be hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul.

Norrington   You forget your place, Turner.
Will   It's right here. Between you and Jack.
Elizabeth   As is mine.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Jack   Why is the rum always gone?

Elizabeth   But seeing as you're a good man, I know that you'd never put me in a position that would compromise my honor.

Jack   I want my jar of dirt!

Elizabeth   This is no way for grown men to settle... oh, fine! Let's just haul out our swords and start banging away at each other! That will solve everything!

Jack   No. If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is we don't have that it unlocks. So what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it?

Gibbs   And already the world seems a little less bright. He fooled us all, right to the end. But I guess that honest streak finally won out. To Jack Sparrow.

Tia Dalma   Would you do it? What would any of you do? Would you said to the ends of the earth and back to fetch back witty Jack, and him precious Pearl?
