It's kinda cheating to use a movie as an example, because the average movie or TV script has so much more text in it to provide more opporturnities for a left elbow moment, but I've always felt this way about [i]Star Trek V: The Final Frontier[/i]. Arguably the worst of the movie series, with some truly embarassing moments, but in among the dross are two small moments and one generously wonderful nuggets of gold moment:<BR/><BR/>1) The flashback to Spock's birth<BR/>2) The flashback to McCoy's euthanasia of his father<BR/>3) Kirk: "I lost a brother once." (Every fanboy in the audience nods knowingly, "Yes, Sam Kirk in 'Operation: Annihilate.") Kirk continues: "But I was lucky. I got him back."Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708103213119467419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1130424558074290932005-10-27T09:49:00.000-05:002005-10-27T09:49:00.000-05:00I love comics.No. Scratch that.I'm IN LOVE with co...I love comics.<BR/><BR/>No. Scratch that.<BR/><BR/>I'm IN LOVE with comics.Bat-Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05871589470171547617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1130416012456880482005-10-27T07:26:00.000-05:002005-10-27T07:26:00.000-05:00You know how airplanes crash, but the little black...You know how airplanes crash, but the little black box always survive and bad comedians and dumb people ask why didn't they make the whole plane out of the little black box material?<BR/><BR/>"Left elbow" scenes are like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1130380069740595102005-10-26T21:27:00.000-05:002005-10-26T21:27:00.000-05:00"And exactly why I think "mainstream" comics, as a..."And exactly why I think "mainstream" comics, as a medium, are ultimately more satisfying than single-vision, finite-length, creator-owned properties."<BR/><BR/>Amen!
