As part of Stainless Steel Droppings 2016 Sci Fi Experience which runs through 1st December to close of January (details here) I’m going to blog a quote (or two) from a different sci fi movie each day. See if you can guess the film. Yesterday’s quotes were taken from Twelve Monkeys:
Today’s quotes:
Last night, Darth Vader came down from Planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn’t take Lorraine out, that he’d melt my brain.

I know this sounds crazy, but ever since yesterday on the road, I’ve been seeing this shape. Shaving cream, pillows… Dammit! I know this. I know what this is! This means something. This is important.

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. Every Wednesday we get to highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. This week: The Dragon Round by Stephen S Power – check this out – ‘high fantasy epic that blends swashbuckling adventure with a dark tale of vengeance’, plus, DRAGONS – get in my life – NOW!
For fans of Scott Lynch and Naomi Novik comes a high fantasy epic that blends swashbuckling adventure with a dark tale of vengeance–when a ship captain is stranded on a deserted island by his mutinous crew, he finds a rare dragon egg that just might be the key to his salvation and his revenge.
He only wanted justice. Instead he got revenge.
Jeryon has been the captain of the Comber for over a decade. He knows the rules. He follows the rules. He likes the rules. But not everyone on his ship agrees. When a monstrous dragon attacks the Comber, his surviving crew, vengeful and battle-worn, decide to take the ship for themselves and give Jeryon and his self-righteous apothecary “the captain’s chance:” a small boat with no rudder, no sails, and nothing but the shirts on their backs to survive.
Marooned and fighting for their lives against the elements, Jeryon and his companion discover that the island they’ve landed on isn’t quite as deserted as they originally thought. They find a rare baby dragon that, if trained, just might be their ticket off the island. But as Jeryon and the dragon grow closer, he begins to realize that even if he makes it off the island, his life will never be the same again. In order for justice to be served, he’ll have to take it for himself.

Today’s quotes (because I was having a lot of fun with this one I nearly quoted the whole film (well three separate quotes anyway)!:
*Nothing* goes over my head…! My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

Why would I want to put my finger on his throat?

‘Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child, things’ll get brighter. You listen to these words. Ooh child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child things’ll get brighter. Then bring it down hard! Someday…
What are you doing?
Dance-off, bro. Me and you.
