Re: Great Moments in Hanging a Lantern!

This one just came into my head the other day, from the first NuWho episode:

Rose Tyler:  If you're an alien, how come you sound like you're from the North?
The Doctor:  Lots of planets have a North!


Christopher Eccleston has a strong Manchester accent, and it's a nice little indirect callback to the fact that, up until relatively recently in the grand scheme of things, if you wanted to work as an actor in the UK you had to lose your regional accent.  Many people who you think of as having very typically plummy Received Pronunciation British accents didn't grow up speaking that way.  Tom Baker, for example, is from Liverpool and Patrick Stewart is from Yorkshire.  (And actually the Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker, was also from Manchester.)

For the next hour, everything in this post is strictly based on the available facts.

Re: Great Moments in Hanging a Lantern!

that bit in Jumanji where monkey-boy rushes to the shed to get that much need axe, only to find it locked, so he picks up something to help break in, he winds up to take a swing, only to realize he is holding the very axe he was after, he looks into the camera and rushes off.

though not sure if this is a lantern hanging  smile , or just breaking the 4th wall  sad

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End. The keys to the Pirate code are given to Keith Richards by the dog from the jail in the first film when one of the comedy sidekicks points out that it makes no sense he is told simply "sea turtles".

Re: Great Moments in Hanging a Lantern!

Also from Pirates 3: Jack is about to escape from Beckett's ship by tying himself to a rope slung over a yardarm and tied to a cannon, in an attempt to launch himself over to the Black Pearl.
Beckett catches him in the act, exclaiming "you're mad!"
Jack responds, "Thank goodness for that! If I wasn't it would probably never work."

Also a more subtle one from Pirates 1: Gibbs introduces Mr. Cotton, whose tongue has been cut out. So, Gibbs says, "He trained the parrot to speak for him......no one's yet figured out how."

Now that I think about it, Pirates did this a lot.

Witness me!

I imagine reddit would be an amazing place for character inspiration. But I'm reluctant to spend time there. Are there any subreddits that specialize in interesting life stories?
