Hi,

Interesting.

Well, Tempus deserve that.

ROFL!

I love Tempus's punishment

See ya,

I couldn't stop giggling!

This reminds me of a scene from a Woody Allen movie of the late 60's. He somehow gets to the future, where historians are all over him to get his feedback on all these mid-20th century artifacts. They show him a clip of Howard Cosell pontificating about something and suggest that this was actually used to punish criminals by making them sit through it multiple times. Woody pauses and says something like, "Yes, that's right, that's exactly what it was."

The ending reminded me of the only thing I've ever laughed at in a Woody Allen movie. This story is really funny, and I don't even know all the characters! Your muse may be evil, but it's also sneaky funny. More scenarios to her!

Mary

ROTFL!!

And you got this idea from your muse without any help from, say, too much spicy food too late at night, or a fever over 102 degrees F, or an extra dose of Robitussin??

That is some muse!!

Thanks, everyone, for the comments
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

My muse thanks you for what she percieves to be a compliment. Personally, I'm thinking of having her committed. Some of her crazier ideas have never made it to the WIP folder. :rolleyes:

Again, thanks, all!

Mary,

If he couldn't stand 7,000 channels in the future, imagine what this would do to him!

Just one question: is the movie as much a product of your twisted imagination as the fic, or is it real?

Hazel, still giggling

I ROTFL'd.

And then making it punishment for Tempus. Now that was just plain mean. And awfully hilarious.

If it is real, then my muse, aside from being insane, is also psychic. As far as I know, Bride of the Butcher and Twelve Thirsty Clowns (see Now That´s What I Call Art) do not exist.
(Thank Goodness!)

Well, at first I thought it represented the rise of Communism in Eastern Europe; however after it progressed I realized the symbolism centered around Stalinism ("salmon without fresh water" etc.) and the impact that left both in Europe and in Asia, insofar as the corruption of the initial Marxist movement and the manner in which it affected both public relations and internal affairs. Generally speaking, of course.

Yeah, my friend tries to get me to watch movies like that. She tells me they're deep. I tell her they're silly. You can interpret them however you want, because they're always so VAGUE. /vent

Technically speaking I thought it (the fic) was well written. (The following's boring. The short version is, "I liked it.") I enjoyed the structure and the way you wrote only the vague aftermath of a battle scene, leaving it quite up to the imagination. I also loved the description of the opening shots of the movie. Filled me with joy, it did.

There are a couple punctuation and typo-related problems, but nothing to be worried about. I'm just nitpicky.

Hey, Tessa

Welcome to the boards! And I didn't see anything boring about your review -- especially the initial "interpretation" of the movie

Nitpicky is good. We like nitpicky. You'll fit right in

PJ

Oh, thank you for the very nice welcome, PJ! And your kind reassurance concerning my review. XD

Yay, nitpicking is one of my few talents. I'm doomed to be an English teacher. *sigh*

Thanks again, and for the record, sorry for spamming up this board just now . . . hee.

--Tessa, currently without a witty end remark. Or sleep.

TESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs up and squeezes Tessa really really hard*

Welcome to the boards!
And thanks for the glowing review!!

XD

--Tessa, woman of few words.
