I think this is probably my most favorite movie monologue: V's personal introduction to Evey.

Voilà!

In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V.

What's your favorite movie monologue?

Some of you may have seen Hammy's boomerang adventure on the Over the Hedge DVD, or somewhere else like Google Video or YouTube.

 
However, given that it's OMG TOTALLY AWESOME, I have ripped it from the DVD, and made it available for download in high-quality H.264 format so you don't have to squint at the screen to see it on YouTube or wherever else.

Right click -> Save As.

If you have some difficulty viewing this fullscreen, I suggest you try VLC (Mac OS X), or Media Player Classic (Windows).

BERLIN (Reuters) - The decomposed corpse of a German man was found alone in his bed after nearly seven years, police in the western city of Essen said Thursday.

The police said in a statement the man was 59 and unemployed at the time of his death. He most likely died of natural causes on November 30, 2000, the date he received a letter from the Welfare Office found in the apartment, police said.

Next to the dead man's bed police found cigarettes, an open television guide and Deutschemark coins, which came out of circulation after the euro was introduced in 2002.

The man's apartment was in a building with offices and apartments, many of which are now empty.

"No one missed him. No missing person report was ever filed," the police said.

Makes you wonder who he was and what kind of life he led? No family? No friends? How sad…

I like numbers. I see patterns and symmetry everywhere. Usually related to the number 3. I can't help it. I have to make my brain not look for patterns in DOBs. I'm not a mathematician by any means, but numbers are just nifty. I will literally space out after I've written a DOB that looks neat and completely miss anything someone is saying to me because I'm looking for patterns. It's bad.

Anyway, we had this woman come in probably a year ago, and her DOB was 3/22/66. I was immediately jealous of such an awesome DOB.

I think 3/9/27 would be cool also.

Ugh, I'm such a nerd. And I'm unashamedly in love with the number 3.
