Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
It was Addams Family Values. I can't remember that smile. All I can really remember about the film is that woman trying to kill Uncle Fester.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
. . .
*resists sarcasm*
I'll quote you my essay title (which does not make sense or seems very odd:
"What does the chorus in Oedipus the King contribute to the impact on the audience of the events presented?"
See, it's a very . . . awkward title.
And 'real quote'? Considering it's a play: yah!
And this smile is the one I whipped off in that photo. But I had a pageboy haircut which does detract from the Addams factor.
I still idolise her; she's amazing.
So yeah Phase, I was quite creepy.
Bathatar!

Run from kitchen.
Grab couch.
Thus make 160 degree turn, using the couch to hang on. Stand down. Release. And tada.
And the beautifull thing was, I did it with my elbow, not sure if that was healthy for my arm...

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Oh right, I'm terrible at quoting plays and books, I always pick useless quotes and then explain them but they're just wrong.
Yer, that's a long title, unweildy too.Could you not change it to say "Impact of Oedipus the King's Chorus on the Audience"? Probably not, but I always shorten titles.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Bravo! Bravo! And as far as I know, as long as it didn't hurt your elbow, you're probably fine. Elbows were made to be abused. Your eye is a different matter entirely.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Meh, if you hit your elbow just right, like I've been doing repeatedly, you can pop your arm out, for lack of a better way to describe it, at your shoulder joint. It's like dislocating it, but the muscles pull it back in before it has a chance to dislocate. Then your arm hurts like crazy, and is useless for about 20 minutes.
Since those two time, my shoulders been cracking, like you'd crack your knuckles. At least it works still. Without pain.This avatar by Phase.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Okay, elbows were made to be abused somewhat. I never knew that a blow to the elbow could actually injure your shoulder. That's like...unfair.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
No.
It's an essay title. Can't be changed because doing so changes the nature of the question.
What I think Classics Lecturer is asking is for us to relate how the 'actions' and speeches of the chorus help the audience to relate to what's on stage and how they (the audience) react to them.
I've got some good stuff, but the problem is defining that they're still IC/OOC characters at exactly the same time; often have no actual influence on the play (except in this one they do vis a vis Creon); discuss how they actually often think out what the adience 'should' be feeling re: Prophecy is false! (which is very bad and relates well to contemporary things) and then the opposite.
How they don't.
ALso I think I may have French homework in for tomorrow as well.
Bathatar!

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
My teachers never seem bothered, I usually but a shortened title, then right the question, then answer it, in my opinion it looks nicer. Especially when you do on a computer and make the question italic.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
It's perfectly simple. Replace 'chorus' with 'soundtrack'. It's a 'knowledge of dramatic technique' question. Examine what would be lacking in the play (and in the audiences' comprehension thereof) if the chorus wasn't there.
I don't know Oedipus Rex as a play, but I can spot that type of question a mile off.
Unrelated to Curlyclassicistgirl's Greek travails, or to the elbow-bashing discussion: a question for my /RB/-ish brethren (and sistren):
Given that the several-score channels on the 'lectric fishtank are all filled with mind-numbing drivel, to what fine cinematic work should Eggy direct his attention this evening?Last edited by bosssmiley; 2008-10-20 at 02:00 PM.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
For my anthropology course I have to do an "ethnographic essay" on someplace I'm not-too-comfortable with applying some anthropological theory (structuralism, symbolism, or somethingselseIcan'tremember). And it's not letting me onto the syllabus so I can't do my homework for today. ghawerihfao;gjvkan!
*ahem*
Otherwise....
I've been crocheting in my "spare time".

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
Don't worry; I've already got the 'fourth actor' and running commentary/social commentary going on.
Besides; I got a B on my previous essay (I spent maybe an hour - hour thirty on it max) so I hope I can at least get an equal grade. I know what to write, but the thinking about it beforehand annoys me.
@DRider: that's one reason to be happy I go to a college. Very few syllabus problems due to computers.
Also: half term next week.
@Eggy:
One thing you can be glad you're missing is that ever - repeating advert for *shudders* High School Musical 3. One of the clips looks like a Disneyfied version of Chicago mixed with Cabaret (I think that's the title. The musical about the cabaret show in Nazi Germany) and worse.
Lots of pink.
And a basketball game you just know they're going to win because they're the good guys!
Children need good films and TV shows these days.
Speaking of; yet once more, there were college age kids discussing the amazingness that was El Nombre and all the oldtime educational shows and cartoons.
Slightly more disturbing ws the ease with which they talked about 'popping 'e's'; 'smoking weed', drinking and their numerous near - death experiences.
Bathatar!

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
I think I'm actually going to do my paper on the linguistics of the college campus I visited...I mean that sounds pretty broad, I know, but in the 24 hours I was there (I spent the night) I saw a pretty interesting cross-section of cliques and their different slangs and manner of speaking was really interesting. So if I can just pull together an argument...
I mean, everyone there - even sorority chicks, which was what my host's roommate was - were smart in a way that you don't really experience in high school. It really kind of surprised me. Their use of intelligent vocabulary (even hidden among "omg" and "what the f***" and "that's SO dope") was startling.
Yep. It's kind of scary how interesting I find this stuff.

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
As in... in cinemas? If so I would recommend Burn after Reading. It's very funny, perhaps not on par with some of the other Coen Brothers' films but still, very very good. 'How to lose friends and alienate people' is apparently pretty *ahem* crummy, as a friend put it (this friend is a known Pegg-fan, and even that couldn't save it)
Other films... I heartily recommend I <3 Huckabees, as films about existential angst go, I'd rate it as the best. Admittedly it's not to everyone's taste (only one of my friends likes it, the rest (who have actually seen it) hate it)

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
. . .
The lat film I saw in cinema was Shrek 2; the last film I bought was Pan's Labyrinth; I can say with some certainty that I know nothing about recent film releases.
At all.
@DRider: linguistics paper eh? Spoken language = transcripts and all those fiddly technical phrases and noting down paralinguistic features.
At least voiced fillers are easy.
So, no, not scary. High five of linguistic and language related geekery?

Re: Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104
The last film I bought was a double set 28 days and weeks later, the other week. I know not much about films from the 00s but I'm pretty good for 80s and 90s, pretty good but not great.

THIS…

*is whacked over the head*
Ooooh… sorry about that.
What?!? Who? Where's the assassin –
Oh. Uncle Fester. My bad.
Ugh, High School Musical – the bane of my existence. And you know, it wouldn't be that bad if everything about the movie was totally horrible. But the songs… they get stuck in your head like peanut butter to your craw! It's painful having to listen to that… "music"… over and over in my head!…
So… much… pain…
