Andrew Marvell's Agents of Shield
Time

Wonder mistress! Wonder mistress!
All the world is waiting for thee And the powers thee possess,
Thy arte of renown in thy satin gown,
And thy hose, coloured red, white and blue!
Wonder mistress! Wonder mistress!
Now the world is eft for thee And the wonders thee can doth.
maketh a hawk a dove cease a war with love,
maketh a knave telleth the truth!
Wonder mistress! receiveth us out from under.
Wonder mistress!
All our desires art pinned upon thee And the magic that thee doth.
cease a bullet cold, maketh villains fold,
changeth their minds And changeth the worlde !
Wonder mistress! Wonder mistress!
thou art a wonder! Wonder mistress!

Episode IV: A Ridiculous Hope
Time

I just rediscovered this wizard post from none on the 1984 3D thread.
If the hologram message was taken from the French dub something like this could be the subtitles :

none said:

<pre>DEAR friend.

I AM PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE ROYAL FAMILY OF
ALDERAN. I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER, IN CONFIDENCE
CONSIDERING MY PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION.

I WAS FALSELY IMPRISONED UPON THE IMPERIAL BATTLE STATION “DEATHSTAR”
WHEN MY PLANET WAS HIDEOUSLY DESTROYED AND ENDED BY THE VERY BAD SITH
LORD VADER. I ESCAPED ALONG WITH THE AID OF BRAVE REBELS AND
WOOKIES, AND AM NOW I AM LYING LOW DUE TO THE SITUATION IN THE 4TH
MOON OF YAVIN TILL WHEN THINGS GETS BETTER.

I HAVE CONTROL HERE OF THE SUM OF $25, MILLION IN IMPERIAL CREDITS
DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY COMPANY FOR SAFEKEEPING ON TATOOINE. THE
FUNDS WERE SHIPPED BY A COURIER SERVICE AS DIPLOMATIC ITEMS OF HIGH
VALUES TO PREVENT THEM FROM KNOWING THE CONTENT. WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO
friend IS TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THAT YOU WILL ASSIST ME BY
RECEIVING THE MONEY ON OUR BEHALF FROM TATOOINE AND ASSIST IN INVESTING
THIS MONEY IN ANY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS LIKE MOISTURE FARMS AND STOCK IN
MULTI-PLANETARY COMPANIES AND OTHER SAFE LUCRATIVE INVESTMENT IN YOUR
SECTOR.

MAY I AT THIS POINT EMPHASIZE THE HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIALITY, WHICH
THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS, AND HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY THE TRUST AND
CONFIDENCE WHICH I REPOSE IN YOU.

IN CONCLUSION, IN THE EVENT YOU ARE INTERESTED TO ASSIST ME I WILL LIKE
YOU TO CONTACT MY LAWYER WHO I HAVE STATIONED IN MOS EISLEY TO WITNESS
THE TRANSACTION TO IT’S CONCLUSION.

YOU CAN REACH HIM ON HIS DIRECT LINE VIA MAIL wattotoy@moseis.com,
HIS NAME IS WATTO THE TOYDARIAN, I HAVE THE FULL TRUST IN HIM.

FINALLY, I HAVE SET ASIDE 15% OF THE TOTAL SUM OF THE FUNDS FOR YOUR
ASSISTANCE, AND 5% FOR ANY EXPENSES THAT SHALL BE INCURRED DURING THIS
TRANSACTION.

PLEASE BE FREE TO DISCUSS WITH MY LAWYER. I SINCERELY WILL
APPRECIATE YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

HELP US, friend, YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE.

BEST REGARDS,
PRINCESS L. ORGANA

P.S. PLEASE INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL 20 BUCKS FOR MY 1984 A NEW HOPE PROJECT.

TV Series You Didn't Like But Kept Watching

For whatever reason I watched The Walking Dead all the way through season 5. Stopped being good after the first season. The sad thing is I wouldn’t put it past me to watch season 6 at some point.

I gave up at the end of the third season.
The dick waving in season 2 was the zenith of annoyance, I can well believe it got better later but the damage was done.

I have a similar relationship with Orphan Black. I never really liked it but the better half liked it and once in a while I found it tolerable.

Torchwood was mostly awful too but Children of Earth was rather good and worth watching, the rest of it was weird tonally. It felt like a 14 year old had been given a brief to write an ‘adult’ show. It was a child’s idea of what the adult world is like.

The &quot;Name that Movie/TV Show I Can't Name&quot; Thread
Time

Mark’s Down On Your Syntax said:

My friend and I watched a movie sometime around 1992/3 and I remember the cover had a boy on his bike (which we decided was a good enough reason to rent it). The plot was about the kid being transported to a dream-like world that was made up of (it seemed like) bits of other movies. The villain was trying to steal the colour from the world, or something.

I’m reasonably sure the title was the boy’s name followed by adventure, or excellent adventure, or amazing adventure.

This has been niggling at me for a VERY long time. Any ideas?

EDIT: The villain also sang a song about stealing the colour!

Could it be Last Action Hero (1993)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Action_Hero

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

I’ve got half a dozen friends going through suicidal crisis at the moment and while I am really glad they feel comfortable being open about it and I’m using whatever knowledge and training I’ve had over they years to try to help, I just despair at how cruel the human world can be that so many people think I’m worthy of turning to for support. I wish I was more useful, more resourceful, more wealthy and could boss the twits that control everything around more (without shrinking them to death).

I recieved once a letter with a nickel enclosed. The letter was advertising a charity and it said “This nickel can provide lifesaving support to disabled veterans!” and I laughed because they decided to give me the nickel instead of using it to provide lifesaving support to disabled veterans. Imagine how many nickels have been wasted in this advertising campaign.

EDIT: Just remembered that this happened twice.

If I had a nickel for every time this has happened to me…
