Lois Griffin got my attention

@lucky760 yep, you have it all figured out. It's impossible for me to dislike when kids do things that are admittedly annoying, dislike Family Guy when it tries to pass off said annoying things as humor and still like kids simultaneously.

Do you think it's possible that I would make one comment about kids being annoying, and it being not funny, and not have that mean that I dislike ALL kids??? You know, maybe not the kind of person who would end up all crotchety and jaded but I would still go through ernest emotional reactions of frustration and annoyance to the point that I might not like hearing it for a solid minute. Just like the way Lois reacts to it in the clip.

Just because Lois finds what Stewie is doing here annoying, doesn't mean she hate's children. Sorry, you are the one on the wrong end of this argument I would say.

And for the frenchies:
Manau - La Tribu De Dana lyrics

Le vent souffle sur les plaines de la Bretagne armoricaine,
je jette un dernier regard sur ma femme, mon fils et mon domaine.
Akim, le fils du forgeron est venu me chercher, les druides ont décidé de mener le combat dans la vallée.
Là, où tous nos ancêtres, de géants guerriers celtes, après de grandes batailles, se sont imposés en maîtres, c'est l'heure maintenant de défendre notre terre contre une armée de Simeriens prête à croiser le fer.
Toute la tribu s'est réunie autour de grands menhirs, pour invoquer les dieux afin qu'ils puissent nous bénir. Après cette prière avec mes frères sans faire état de zèle, les chefs nous ont donné à tous des gorgées d'hydromel, pour le courage, pour pas qu'il y ait de faille, pour rester grand set fiers quand nous serons dans la bataille car c'est la première fois pour moi que je pars au combat et j'espère être digne de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN
Dans la vallée de DAna La lilala.
Dans la vallée j'ai pu entendre les échos.
Dans la vallée de Dana La lilala.
Dans la vallée des chants de guerre près des tombeaux.

Après quelques incantations de druides et de magie, toute la tribu, le glaive en main courait vers l'ennemi, la lutte était terrible et je ne voyais que les ombres, tranchant l'ennemi qui revenait toujours en surnombre.
Mes frères tombaient l'un après l'autre devant mon regard, sous le poids des armes que possédaient tous ces barbares, des lances, des haches et des épées dans le jardin d'Eden qui écoulait du sang sur l'herbe verte de la plaine. Comme ces jours de peine où l'homme se traîne à la limite du règne du mal et de la haine, fallait-il continuer ce combat déjà perdu, mais telle était la fierté de toute la tribu, la lutte a continué comme ça jusqu'au soleil couchant, de férocité extrême en plus d'acharnement, fallait défendre la terre de nos ancêtres enterrés là et pour toutes les lois de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN

Au bout de la vallée on entendait le son d'une corne, d'un chef ennemi qui appelait toute sa horde, avait-il compris qu'on lutterait même en enfer et qu'à la tribu de Dana appartenaient ces terres. Les guerriers repartaient, je ne comprenais pas tout le chemin qu'ils avaient fait pour en arriver là,quand mon regard se posa tout autour de moi, j'étais le seul debout de la tribu voilà pourquoi. Mes doigts se sont écartés tout en lâchant mes arme set le long de mes joues se sont mises à couler des larmes, je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi les dieux m'ont épargné de ce jour noir de notre histoire que j'ai contée.
Le vent souffle toujours sur la Bretagne armoricaine et j'ai rejoins ma femme, mon fils et mon domaine, j'ai tout reconstruit de mes mains pour en arriver là, je suis devenu roi de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN

Very well done, and I did enjoy the *animation. But I can see how it might not necessarily add that much to the story. Alternatively they could have written in some dialogue maybe like:



"Supe: Here's the crystal spaceship that I used to travel back to Krypton to search for my family. (gestures to ship/part of ship/model/picture of ship/10 second cutscene of ship...)

Lois: Did you find anyone/anything?

Supe: Only a rock filled with Kryptonite (and loneliness.)

End scene!"

4 minutes and 9.75 million dollars saved!

With the advent of superb digital animation (such as this) too many films try to cover up poor planning/writing and ultimately sacrifice good story-telling with, well, high-production cartoons and special effects.

>> ^EMPIRE:

to be honest, it's a bit too long, but I kinda liked it. With better editing they could have left it in.

>> ^blankfist:

The loose boob mewb at 0:46 was the topper.

Reminds me of Lois Greenfield's work.

Lois, Who's the Boss is not a food.

Well no wonder, look what she did with the rest of the JLA!

After Christopher Reeve passed away, 'Aint It Cool News' posted a story (I don't know who the actual author is, sorry), and it really touched me, especially this part:

'At the age of seven years old, I wrote three heroes of mine for their autograph. The only one that responded was Christopher Reeve. 8 months after I mailed it, in an envelope one day came a small 3x5 photograph of Superman autographed “To Harry, Christopher Reeve”.

As an Eagle Scout that believes in Truth, Justice and the American Way… that believed when that man flew, that a man could fly… every issue of Action, Adventure, World’s Finest, Superboy, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Superman… in every word bubble that came out of a Curt Swan's Supes' head, I heard Christopher Reeve. I don’t believe any actor will ever completely own a role so perfectly as Chris owns SUPERMAN. '

God bless his soul! He was such a great man, inside and out!

A couple of nerd notes from me, please!

1. Superman and Lois copulated at the end of Superman II, but maybe that was only in the Richard Donner cut.

2. If memory serves didn't Superman return (in Superman Returns) in a crystal vessel? Is so he probably left in it, so the lack of the yellow sun wouldn't harm him in outer space.

3. When I was in film school the directing majors in my class had a phone in conversation with Robert Wise. Wise directed the first Star Trek (Star Trek the Motion Picture). Yes, it's slow. But, according to him, his point was that at that time in 1979 there wasn't a lot of big budget films that showed ships in space, so the long shots of the Enterprise were awe-inducing for the time.

4. Upon first viewing of Superman Returns, yes, I thought it was boring. I'm more of a Marvel fan anyways, but years later I picked it up on Blu-Ray and watched it again knowing ahead of time that the plot was slow. I don't believe there are huge plot holes. Also the story gets better once you drop your expectations for a "kick ass" comic book action-fest. The storytelling is well paced and interesting. It's not Dark Knight, but it's still good filmmaking. It's not brainless crap like Ghost Rider or the regrettable Daredevil.

5. WHAT THE FUCK IS KEVIN SMITH WEARING?! Long shorts down to his ankles and a fucking trenchcoat? He's wearing Juggalo attire. He looks ridiculous.

6. Red Dead Redemption is awesome. I don't care if that has nothing to do with this.

My two cents.

Superman catching Lois, then catching the chopper in 1 is still my greatest Superman moment. John Williams score, the setup, the action, being 7 years old when I first saw it in the theaters. Still sends shivers down my spine.

Say Jim, whoa! That's a bad outfit!

So, hang on a second here. Superman and Lois just murdered someone?

(We-we) we came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I was testing you - and you passed,
Dental plan! Lisa needs braces,
Be required to fart on a regular basis,
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse,
Channel 13 - Eyewitness news!
Robocop, who is he?
Dead or alive you're coming with me.

In a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head.

I'm telling the truth Doc, you gotta believe me,
Why does everything I whip leave me?
My beautiful chocolate! Candy is dandy,
Fava beans and a nice Chianti,
You can count on Slippery Pete,
Suicide will be nice and neat!
I didn't build the Panama canal,
Open the pod bay doors please, HAL,

These aren't the droids you're looking for,
These aren't the droids we're looking for,
I am not a number I am a free man!
Rosebud.
To The Idiotmobile!
Right away Michael,
I-I-I-I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
You don't understand I coulda had class,
Round and tasty on a bun,
Ooh Zippy look what you've done!
Finally! Cast off those lines!
No, I've been nervous lots of times,
Red Rum! What's the matter honey?
Just robbed Boss Hogg all of his money!

We came, saw, we kicked it's ass,
Writing checks your body can't cash,
I was elected to lead, not read,
I feel the need - the need for speed,
Watch out for snakes, a good man's loafer,
HQ - my hat looks like a muffin - over,
My god it's full of stars,
There was no driver in the car..

In the car (repeat)

Well you see I'm in hot pursuit!

There are only two things I love in this world - everybody and television!
#The Simpsons
#Run With Us!
Ugh - you must be shrooming,
Wait for me Moomin!
Cross live to meet the host of that show, Meat Boy,
I want to go to there.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
An oil tycoon - like a.. moustache,
Nice beaver! I just had it stuffed,
I don't give a shit, close enough,
Where's me washboard? I'll get me coat,
Y-y-y-you're gonna need a bigger boat,
What'd she say? I think she bought it,
Suck it monkeys! I'm goin' corporate!
C'mon let's take a drive! A drive?
Number 5 is alive!
It's only a laugh, no harm done,
Pickles, french fries, yum yum yum,
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller,
It's 2 degrees cooler,
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long,
Six words in the whole song.

We-we-we accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
You are number 6 5 4 3 2
I am not a number, I am a free man

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Give me my 20,000 in cash,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think you woke up the dead with that blast
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think fast, I talk fast,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Lois, this is not my Batman glass,

Writer 1: "But how do we make it clear to the audience that the blob on Lois' brain is a tumor?"
Writer 2: "How about if it sings 'I'm a tumor I'm a tumor I'm a tumor'?"
Writer 1: "Brilliant! That way they don't have to think at all!"

actually they're making fun of the song "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco
