Yes I'm posting a PM from someone, but atm feel pretty damn provoked. The following thread was insta-deleted on FH, and have had two threads closed that deal with the same topic. Anyway, I think it's rather funny stuff so read on...
Original thread title was 'Annie Hall' wrote:Have you ever seen Annie Hall?
There is this one scene where woodie allen is on a date at the cinema, and there's a guy behind them who's coming out with loads of obnoxious opinions and stating it all as fact and so forth. Allen gets more and more annoyed about this and eventually turns around and says to the guy, 'actually i disagree with you about that'. The guy looks at him and says, 'well, actually I happen to be a professor of so and so, so I know all about this author's work, so stfu'. Woodie Allen then looks at him and says 'orly?' and walks off the screen and comes back with the author himself, and the author says, 'what you're saying about my work is completely wrong, and if you say that you shouldn't be a professor at all.' Woodie Allen then looks at the camera and says 'pity that sort of stuff never happens in real life'.
I tell you all this, because it recently *did* happen, in this thread. And, imo, it was pretty damn sweet.
Thing is though, it feels rather as though my Annie Hall moment was stolen. This upsets me because Woodie Allen is right, that stuff doesn't hardly ever happen in real life. So this is a thread to (hopefully) ressurrect the moment, and ofc to discuss other 'Annie Hall' moments that people have had. It is not a targetted whine, it is exactly what it says on the tin, a discussion of a scene in Annie Hall as well as comparable scenes that occur in DAoC exc/pryd cluster.
Enjoy!
p.s. if this is all completely confusing to you, check sig.
