MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Vertigo" (1958)


If you've been following my date nights with Tina, you'll know that Vertigo is a film that we did indeed watch and we both very much enjoyed on one of said date nights. It's Alfred Hitchcock, rather shamefully making only his first appearance on my blog, with a directing masterpiece. It's good, but why is it so good? Let's read on.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - "Fallout: Manifest Destiny, Chapter 4"


"What do you have in terms of assets?"

"About two dozen scientists, a few Synths." Clayton said, nervously sitting in one of the two chairs across the desk from where Madison had once sat. Now, a different woman was sitting across from him. The President of the United States...or so Doctor Zimmer said. "We have some of the archive information from the Institute, but-"

From MadCap's Couch - "Supernatural: All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2"

CARRY ON MY WAAAAAAYWARD SOOOOON!
THERE'LL BE PEACE WHEN YOU ARE DOOOOOOONE!
LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REEEEEEST!
DON'T YOU CRY NO MORE!

And. So. It. ENDS! Everything that Sam and Dean have fought and struggled for since not only the beginning of Season 2, but the very beginning of the entire series comes to a head here. It is here that the stage is set for not only Season 3, but Seasons 4 and 5 as well. Without one particular moment in this very episode, Season 4 and 5 in particular would never happen.

There is no more time for heavy-handed words. Crank up the Kansas and let's. Do. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Seattle By Night: "If It Wasn't For Bad Luck..., Part 1"

 


"Any ideas?"

"No." Ben was bent close to the ground, examining the crime scene. Sybil had given him a pair of gloves to hide any prints as they examined the area. Chalk outlines where bodies had been found were scattered about, as was most of the objects and other fixtures within the Haven of Hope that had been destroyed in whatever struggle had taken place here.

Man, it's been an even hotter minute since last time, hasn't it?

I've been away from this for so long that I'd honestly forgotten where I was going with this. Luckily, having watched Book of Boba Fett has inspired me to pick this back up again...mostly out of disappointment with where that show went, but that's neither here nor there.

So, let's do the recap of last time, shall we?

MadCap's Fiction Corner - "Fallout: Manifest Destiny, Chapter 3"


"I'M GONNA RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND MAKE IT MY PUPPET!!!"

"Quelle horreur!" A Miss Nanny turned Synth exclaimed as she reloaded her rifle. The Super Mutant attack on the Greentop Nursery had been sudden and unexpected. Their numbers had been dwindling much more over the past year, thanks in part to the Minutemen no longer having to split their focus between the Super Mutant horde, the Brotherhood of Steel, and the Institute.

From MadCap's Couch - "Supernatural: What Is and What Should Never Be"

Yeah, that's not Photoshopped at all.

Something something something I Dream of Jeannie joke.

. . .look, if Dean doesn't have to put in any effort, why do I?

From MadCap's Couch - "Supernatural: Folsom Prison Blues"

For the record, yours is better than Nick Nolte's, Dean.

Who doesn't love a good prison movie?

. . .sorry, I mistyped that from my notes. Who loves a good prison movie?

. . .there are good prison movies?
