Zeee Colbear Reporrrrrrrr

The Colbert Report:

OMG. SO. MUCH. LOVE.

A very strong episode. At first the guest wasn't doing' it for me, but then they started talking in third person and that was awesome.

And the anchor-off! ::collapses into a helpless giggle fit on livingroom couch:: That was fucking awesome. And the other guy won. Stephen Colbert did good himself, but his pauses are just a shade too long and too mellodramatic. Even though for a second it looked like the other guy was going to crack and start laughing in the middle, he held his cool and out-anchored Colbert. AT POETRY TONGUE-TWISTERS. ::swoons::

I like Stephen's even more exaggerated persona. He reminds me of the guy from Hannity and Colmes (which I've only seen bits of because I tried to sit through it once and turned it off in disgust that adults won't act their age on television.) Like Hannity, but even swaggeryier. Yeah, that's a word. Don't let those sum'bitches at Webster tell you any different!

I also can't get over the fact that he says "report" like "Colbert". Seriously cracking up.


EDIT: I need a transcript of the poems at the end of the anchor-off. And I'd like to download it somewhere too, because my roommate missed that whole part.

You know what made me laugh about your post? That the post one below it on my Friends List is from a person who absolutely hated the whole thing.

Yay!

Well, he says report like Colbert... and I think the e has an accent aigu, too... because, "It's French, bitch."

They're both theatre warmups, but I can't remember all of them.

"Admist the mist and fiercest frost....and stoutest boasts,
He thrust his fist against the post and still insists he sees the ghost."

"What a to-do to die today at a twenty or so till two. A thing distinctly hard to say but more difficult still to do. So we'll rat a tatoo..........At a twenty or two till two, today, at a twenty or two till two."

That's all from memory! (And imcomplete, I know.)

(I totally started chanting along with them.)

"...and fiercest frost, with barest wrist and stoutest boasts..."

We did it today in class!

Cool. I just recognized it for the part "He thrust his fist against the post and still insists he sees the ghost," which was what kid!Bill said to keep himself from stuttering in the book IT.

I can't stop laughing about the Repor. Also because then it's a pun. He has good rapport with his audience.

Really? Cool. I've only seen about 30 minutes of the movie. Just long enough to be creeped out by Tim Curry in the scaryscary clown suit.

But not as good repor as Stone Phillips, apparently. ::laugh::

Apparently they're not opening enrollment until January. God knows why-- they kept saying it would be very soon, very soon, and then I guess they changed their minds.

The book is good-- scarier by far than the movie (which was creepy at times, but not all that scary, I think. At least, not if you've read the book before hand, or are used to the more sophisticated presentation of blood/guts/monsters in more recent and modern films). The book did kinda have an anticlimactic sucky ending, but the other 90% of it was great and downright disturbing, so I recommend it. I've only read a portion of Stephen King books, but that was the one that scared me the most.

Actually, the scariest part is in the first few chapters-- the first chapter, if I remember it correctly. That's a 10 on the horror rank and if you can read past that scene (paper boat! omg! paper boat!), the rest of the book is steady 9 to 9.5.

The line "He thrust his fist against the post and still insists he sees the ghost," becomes an interesting motif for the character Bill-- he repeats it to keep himself from stuttering, but it eventually becomes a statement to clear his mind of fear and give him perspective when facing the horror. Sort of like the "You have no power over me" thing in Labrynth. (I'm guessing that quote, I can't remember). And of course the "ghost" part is right in line with a horror novel.

That kind of works out for the best in my case. There was no way I'd have been able to keep up with "school" during the Christmas season. Then again, I'm actually headed back to REAL school in January, so I might not even have the time then. Plus, in two and a half months, I might find another character entirely to RP. I started thinking the other night it might've been fun to RP Chigusa Takako from Battle Royale. You know, change the canon so she didn't die on the island.

Best stop there. I haven't seen BR yet.

Read the novel. It's a kathousand times better than the film. And it doesn't have a fucked up ending on it, either.
