These are pretty funny until you realize they are part of actual court records...
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place...
ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active? WITNESS: No, I just lie there.
ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth? WITNESS: July 18th. ATTORNEY: What year? WITNESS: Every year.
ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.
ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?

WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
As much as I enjoy watching the LOTR trilogy I don't think I'd buy another set - as Number 20 said - it's only the documentaries that are different from the other previous sets.
Revels have that 'you don't quite know what you're going to get next' feeling when you lob one in the mouth - I just hope it's not a coffee tasting one - god damn there'll be trouble if I find any more coffee ones in there...
Gives a good detailed comparison of the theatrical, speical edition and dvd versionf of the original trilogy. A good way to see how much better the dvd transfer is as well. There are also articles on The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi.
The bloke who did all the comparisons is/was a poster on here too
Crackin article - and a lot of work went into it - fair play to the lad
(does the disappearence of Pluto mean that the waves affect the tides on Eath too - like it would when my masterplan to steal the moon comes to fruition?)
Seriously, I agree with ADM - those science book printers will be rubbing their hands at this...
(not a bad price either - though this means some careful thinking as to whether to upgrade from my season 2 divx downloads to the official dvds... - hmnnnn....)
Originally posted by: Shark2k Oh yeah, just remembered, it also seemed like there was a scene or two that just went into the next scene without any transitions. It was like..."How the hell did they get there?" type of thing.

I was thinking how on earth have I managed to sit through this movie to the very end? (this coming from someone who also stayed to the end of Sccoby Doo - The Movie, yet did walk out of Sccoby Doo - The Movie 2
the fact the new football (soccer to our US friends) season starts soon - the smell of freshly cut grass, the new pitch markings, buying new boots and shinpads, the blood - sweat - tears (and that's just the manager picking the team and omitting the 'lesser abled' players), the realisation that your tema will not win anything this year - like it hasn't done for so many years previously... all good stuff.
Maybe Paramount finally woke up to the fact he can't actually act very well - he did more 'acting' in his ealrier roles than most of the forgettable dross he's done since the 80's.
Better save the big pay cheques for someone who actually shows signs of improving as an actor- and can maybe vary his preformance a little?
The hype around the ovie has worked upon my feeble fragile mind and I am now looking forward very much to see this film - there is an alamr bell sounding somewhere in mind that tells me not to expect too much - yet the rest of it tells me it'll be the best film EVAH...
