Doctor Quotes: Nine

I thought, intead of doing Companion Quotes, I'd do Doctor Quotes. I'll start with Nine:

ROSE

[The Doctor]: Nice to meet you, Rose. [holds up the bomb, shaking it slightly while grinning.] Run for your life!

[Jackie]: I'm in my dressing gown.
[The Doctor]: Yes, you are.
[Jackie]: There's a strange man in my bedroom.
[The Doctor]: Yes, there is.
[Jackie]: Anything could happen.
[The Doctor]: No. [walks away]

[Rose]: Hold on, if you're an alien, why do you sound like you're from the north?
[The Doctor]: Lots of planets have a north!

THE END OF THE WORLD

[The Doctor]: Everything has its time and everything dies.

THE UNQUIET DEAD

[The Doctor]: I saw the Fall of Troy! World War Five! I was pushing boxes at the Boston Tea Party! Now I'm gonna die in a dungeon.... [disgustedly] in Cardiff!

ALIENS OF LONDON

[Mickey]: I bet you don't even remember my name!
[The Doctor]: Ricky.
[Mickey]: It's Mickey!
[The Doctor]: No, it's Ricky.
[Mickey]: I think I know my own name!
[The Doctor]: You think you know your own name? How stupid are you?

WORLD WAR THREE

[The Doctor]: Installed in 1991. Three inches of steel lining every single wall. They'll never get in. [smiles triumphantly]
[Rose]: And how do we get out?
[The Doctor]: [still smiling, looks around and then nods] Ah. [keeps smiling]

DALEK

[The Doctor]: [digging through a bin of alien weapons] Broken...broken...hairdryer...

THE EMPTY CHILD

[Rose]: What's the emergency?
[The Doctor]: It's mauve!
[Rose]: Mauve?
[The Doctor]: Universally recognized color for danger.
[Rose]: What happened to red?
[The Doctor]: Oh, that's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, those misunderstandings—all those Red Alerts, all that dancing.

THE DOCTOR DANCES

[The Doctor, Capt. Jack and Rose are cornered by the empty children.]
[The Doctor]: Go to your room! Go to your room! I mean it. I'm very, very angry with you. I'm very, very cross! GO! TO! YOUR! ROOM! [The children lurch away and obey him.] I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.

BOOM TOWN

[Mickey]: [after the Doctor explains why the TARDIS resembles a Police Public Call Box] But that's what I meant: there's no police boxes anymore, so doesn't it get noticed?
[The Doctor]: Ricky, let me tell you something about the human race. You put a mysterious blue box slap-bang in the middle of town, what do they do? Walk past it. Now stop your nagging. Let's go and explore.

BAD WOLF

[Dalek 1]: [glances at Rose] We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated!
[The Doctor]: No.
[Pause. The Daleks glance at each other in confusion.]
[Dalek 1]: Explain yourself.
[The Doctor]: I said no.
[Dalek 1]: What is the meaning of this negative?
[The Doctor]: It means no.

Dolan

I seriously don't see what's not to like about Dolan. I hear people hating on tbe meme like it's a damn axe murderer. Also 'it doesn't make any sense'? That's the point: he's a pervy sadist who doesn't make any sense. I get that people don't particularly like it, but why does everyone hate it?

-The Shy Hipster

30DCC Day Seventeen

A cartoon that you were obsessed with.

-Pokémon. I had to have EVERYTHING even remotely related to Pokémon, I had to watch every episode, etcetera. I watched it up to Hoenn, after that it became kind of boring.

About The Darkness And Freddie Mercury

I just listened to the song Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) by The Darkness. In my opinion it sums up the Christmas spirit perfectly.
After a while, I noticed that the singer (don't know his name, sorry) sounds remarkably like Freddie Mercury. Also, the song is very Queen-like. But, I'm not a Queen/Freddie expert, so I could very well be that I'm just being silly.
I can only ask you to listen to the song and decide for yourself.

-The Shy Hipster

P.S.
I know that this post is not remotely interesting, but I felt like writing something.

[Jack prepares to enter a deadly radiation filled room]

Captain Jack Harkness: I'm goin' in!

Captain Jack Harkness: Well, I'll look good though.

Chantho: Chan, the conglomeration died, tho.
Doctor: Conglomeration! That's what I said!

BAD WOLF

Captain Jack Harkness: [his clothes get disintegrated]

Zu-Zana, Trine-e: [enthusiastically] Absolutely.
Captain Jack Harkness: Ladies, your viewing figures just went up.

Dark Shadows Review

IMDb Rating: 6.7
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 42%
Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Tim Burton, Seth Grahame-Smith, Colleen Atwood, Danny Elfman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloë Grace Moretz, Gulliver McGrath, Christopher Lee, Alice Cooper
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy

If you haven't seen it, this is the only thing you need to know: it's way better than the trailer.
_____
Barnabas Collins, a man who turned into a vampire by the curse of a witch, returns to his home after two centuries. He finds that his family is in both a financial and an emotional crisis. Meanwhile, the witch is still hunting him for revenge.
_____
When I heard that there was going to be a movie with Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter and vampires, I knew I had to see it. Then I saw the trailer. For those who haven't seen it: it's the most disgusting thing in the universe. It honestly made me believe it was going some kind of bland Disaster Movie-like film, because they decided that ALL the bad jokes had to be in the trailer, without showing the actual contents of the story.
In short: It's much better than I had expected, though not as good as I had hoped. Because the original Dark Shadows was a soap opera, the story has taken over some of its features (multiple main characters, multiple plot lines etc.), which, in my opinion, doesn't work that well for feature films. Visually, it is perfectly gothic, seventies and Victorian. And of course it is all topped with a great Danny Elfman score.
_____

Barnabas Collins: [seeing Alice Cooper] Ugliest woman I've ever seen.
_____
-The Shy Hipster

30DCC Day Twelve

A cartoon with a very good story.

-The Powerpuff Girls. They have original and terrifying enemies and weird but realistic protagonists.

-The Shy Hipster

The Pirates! Band Of Misfits Review

IMDb Rating: 7.0
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 87% on the Tomatometer, rated 66% by audiences.
Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Hugh Grant, David Tennant, Russell Tovey, Salma Hayek, Brendan Gleeson, Imelda Staunton, Martin Freeman
Genre: Animation, Comedy

Not as good as I had expected, but certainly better than your average family movie.
________
The Pirate Captain is tired of always being seen as a loser. When he enters in the Pirate Of The Year Awards, he gets laughed at, which drives him to steal as much gold as possible. He even goes as far as selling his parrot, whi turns out to be a dodo. Charles Darwin buys it and gives it to his crush, Queen Victoria. Unfortunately, she doesn't take care of the dodo like the Pirate Captain had hoped.
_________
I was excited to see this movie, mainly because it's an Aardman production and it has an amazing cast. Unfortunately, Aardman has lost a bit of the humour that was shown in Chicken Run and the Wallace And Gromit series. However, both the cast and the wicked (typically British) script make up for it.
_________
Pirate Captain: Fire all things that go bang!

A cartoon with a cool theme song.

The Hunger Games (Film) Review

IMDb Rating: 7.6
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 84%
Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Toby Jones, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Donald Sutherland
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy

I was really excited to see this film. Was.
_______
Katniss grows up in the poorest district of the country Panem. Every year, there is a big competition called the Hunger Games, in which a boy and a girl from each district is chosen to compete. The competition is held is a huge arena, where the people have to fight to the death until one remains.
Katniss' sister Prim is chosen to compete. Of course, Katniss can't let her little sister go, and she volunteers to take her place.
_______
I don't think it was a bad film, but I WAS slightly disappointed. A huge part of the film was action, while I think the oppression and Katniss' thoughts (the book is pretty much an internal monologue. They could've used subtitles or a voice-over) are way more interesting. Also, is it really that hard to hold the camera PROPERLY? I'm not against using the shaky cam thing (though nowadays it is mostly used as a cheap...Okay, I may be against shaky cam), but if you keep using it, it loses its meaning.
Still, overall it was nice to watch. The acting was okay, I loved the outfits of the Capitol citizens, and they didn't leave out too much of the book.
_______

Katniss Everdeen: [stabs knife on table]
Effie Trinket: Hey! That is mahogany!

-American Dad. I really don't see what's so funny about it, but I liked it a few years ago.

The Doctor: [in a funny voice] Who ya gonna call!
Rose Tyler: Ghostbusters!
The Doctor: I ain't afraid of no ghost!

THE IMPOSSIBLE PLANET

The Doctor: I don't know what's wrong with her. She's sort of queasy. Indigestion, like she didn't want to land.

30DCC Day Seven

A cartoon that you wouldn't admit you used to watch.

-Totally Spies. I was a die-hard fan, until they changed Jerry's voice actor. After that it started to be rubbish. Well, it was never any good of course, but you know what I mean.

-The Shy Hipster

I Have No Life...

Signs that your school break isn´t going the way you had planned:

1. You keep wishing that you're back at school.
2. You can't stop pressing F5 when on 9gag, hoping that some new stuff will pop up.
3. You check the fridge every ten minutes.
4. You spend your days watching Doctor Who episodes you've already seen.
5. You read an entire discussion about Fleur Delacour (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire) is a sexist character or not.
6. Cleaning your room is fun, because you finally have something to do.
7. You realize you're a spoiled brat for not enjoying your break.
8. You keep thinking about poor kids who can't even afford going to school, let alone have a break.
9. You learn an entire song on the ukelele in one day, while you previously worked three weeks on learning the G chord.
10. You realize all the above applies to you.

But I have a valid reason! My best friend and my boyfriend have left me all alone to go to her boyfriend and to France, respectively. It's not my fault! I'm not pathetic! Well, I am, but not because of the beforementioned reasons, I'm pathetic because I just am.
