It's back thanks to all you fools bugging me about it. The Caption Contests have been very popular with the forum in the past...but they ended up being very time consuming for me. So I'm bringing it back on a bi-weekly basis instead of every week. Let's see how it goes. All your precious scores have been reset, so say hello to a clean shiny new slate! This way it'll make it easier for new kids to join in on the fun.

Here we go!

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Oh and I'd like to point out I don't like this idea of a reboot. With Olivarez long gone to Valhalla, I was the master.

I think I can put this back on a weekly schedule. I wrote a little Python program to automate the process. I just pick the images and winner quotes and boom. As crazy as it sounds, it took just 30 minutes and it should significantly reduce my time investment to these bread and circus events! ;-)

The downside is, try not to over format your captions because it will throw it all out. :D But if you must...I can copy by hand where necessary.

"Good night!" he would call. "Good night--you Princes of Maine, you Kings of New England!" (That thing Homer had held in his hand was no prince--it hadn't lived to be king.)

Then, bang!--the door would close, and the orphans would be left in a new blackness. Whatever image of royalty that they could conjure would be left to them. What princes and kings could they have seen? What futures were possible for them to dream of? What royal foster families would greet them in sleep? What princesses would love them? What queens would they marry? And when would they escape the darkness left with them after Larche closed the door, after they could no longer hear the retreating squeaks of Nurse Edna's and Nurse Angela's shoes? (That thing he had held in his hand could not have heard the shoes--it had the smallest, most wrinkled ears!)

For Homer Wells, it was different. He did not imagine leaving St. Cloud's. The Princes of Maine that Homer saw, the Kings of New England that he imagined--they reigned at the court of St. Cloud's, they traveled nowhere; they didn't get to go to sea; they never even saw the ocean. But somehow, even to Homer Wells, Dr. Larch's benediction was uplifting, full of hope. The Princes of Maine, these Kings of New England, these orphans of St. Cloud's--whoever they were, they
were the heroes of their own lives. That much Homer could see in the darkness; that much Dr. Larch, like a father, gave him.

Princely, even kingly behavior was possible, even at St. Cloud's. That seemed to be what Dr. Larch was saying.
