What would you say is the best film scene you've seen?
Not necessarily the entire film, but just the one scene.
Personally, when River kicks reaver arse at the end of Serenity. I will never get tired of watching that fight scene.

I still absolutely love the bit in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 where Jack's tied to the pole and running away from the cannibals with all the fruit on the pole :)
And the one bit in Secretary. You know. With the spelling error.
From a purely female perspective, the scene in The Two Towers where they all think Aragorn's dead and then he comes through the doors all grubby and dishevelled and in charge.
Excuse me, I need a lie down now.

That bit in the second Matrix when they are all dancing in that club, that's like, SO deep and meaningful.

a cracking piece of dialogue.
( , Wed 24 Jun 2009, 21:02, Reply)

The piece of German film making is wonderful for a variety of reasons, including:
1. Bruno Ganz as Hitler, the one role that has always been a no-no for a German actor
2. Bruno Ganz not showing Hitler as a caricature which would have been so easy to do
3. The effect of the Soviet invasion of Berlin not only on Hitler himself but also those around him, the diehard Nazis in the bunker with him.
In other news, the number of times that the youtube crowd have reworded the scene in which Hitler loses it with his generals is very funny.

I'm sure they'd have to be externally hosted but it's the principle that counts. And I want a corset! I want to lose some weight before I invest though. And not sure about overbust/underbust, as I'm well endowed. And whether to go for a cheapish one (£50ish, I've found) or a WKD (upwards of £100)

/only knows of this through South Park
I have a CHF20 palette from Claire's in Switzerland which is every conceivable colour of eye shadow (it's the width and height of a piece of A4 paper). And being a fucktard I have left it at my parents' house. In the meantime I'm obsessed with those little Barry M loose shadows even if they do leak something rotten!
Corsets are all of the win; KittyOHara makes them and is awesome at pointing you in the right direction should you be interested in having one. I'm trying to choose fabric for my next one at the moment, since the one which actually has decent bones has ripped quite badly :( am fairly well-endowed myself so good support is always welcome!

The actual shadows are pretty small.
But other than that it's pretty naice. I'm trying to go for the more black/brown smokey eye look...though I do love my liquid eyeliner!
Yeah, certainly. I'd get my first fitted, rather than off tinterweb, I'd say. By someone who knew what they were doing! And when I've got more clothes that would benefit from a waspish waist :D

I'm not sure how I'm going to do it; was thinking I'd send Kitty my measurements and see if she could throw something together for me, bearing in mind it needs to be about 2" smaller than your actual waist size for proper waspishness.

That bit in the film 'independance day', where Will Smith is flying his fighter jet, bieng chassed by an alien, and they are in the grand cannon, and he opens up his jet's parashoot, and it covers the viewing bit on the alien spaceship, and the he ejects from his jet, and BOOOOOM, they both explode, except the alien ship bounces out of the canion.
Then Will Smith lands in his ejector seat, and is all like "YARR ERURR, AHHH", and is cault on the parashoot and runs to the spaceship screaming "THATS RIGHT THATS RIGHT !THATS WHAT YOU GET, THATS WHAT YOU GET, GET OFF ME, GET OFF ME", and releases himself from the parashoot and storms up to the spaceship, shouting "LOOK AT YOU ! SHIP ALL BANGED UP ! WHO'S THE MAN? WHO'S THE MAN? WAIT TILL I GET ANOTHER SHIP, THEN I'M GONNA GET ALL OF YOU".
Then he opens up the hatch and the alien appears, and he punches it on the head and says "Welcome to earth", he then lights up a cigar and says "Now, that's what I call a close encounter."
