Revolver (Ray Liotta) > Wildhogs (Ray Liotta and Martin Lawrence) > National Security (Martin Lawrence)

Should hopefully be done with those tonight.

Yeah, same problem here.

In an ideal world it would be:

film with Ray Liotta and Martin Lawrence ---> film with Martin Lawrence and whoever -----> film with whoever and someone

How about:

Revolver (Jason Statham and Ray Liotta) > Wildhogs (Ray Liotta and Martin Lawrence) > National Security (Martin Lawrence)

The third largest non-legal depository of books in the country. Apparently.

Are they stolen?

JK wrote:For the landmark, I stood and admired the Wheel of Sheffield this afternoon (basically exactly the same as the London Eye except with more whippets and flat caps) - unfortunately budgetary issues prevented me from boarding. Is this sufficient for a Task GET!?

JK wrote:For the seven deadly scenes task I thought I'd include all the odds and sods around in my room. So, here they are then, the seven deadly scenes...

GREED

Little Blue Man gets trapped in a bottle full of coppers.

GLUTTONY

Little Blue Man gets trapped in a similar bottle, this time filled with jeslly beans. He never learns.

PRIDE

Monkey won something. Monkey won't stop showing off his medal.

ENVY

Pink Spikey Thing wants Monkey's medal but he is not worthy.

SLOTH

Little Blue Man can't be arsed to do anything productive with his day so just hangs around and plays N64.

LUST

Little Blue Man experiments with auto-erotic asphyxiation whilst being sucked off by a frog.

WRATH

Little Blue Man gets taken out by an unknown assassin.

JK wrote:Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my Creative Writing entry.

Detective Constable stood in the middle of the small flat, surveying the damage. Another man might be unsure whether the carpets were originally beige with red splotches or originally red with beige splotches; Detective Constable, being a respected member of the South Yorkshire constabulary, knew that blood was not beige.

He’d often mused on the reasons for him becoming a policeman. He would tell people that the driving forces behind his joining the police force were average grades at school, his natural charm and his love of hitting people (although he’d be sure to smile whilst mentioning the last point so that people thought he was joking). However, in recent years as the novelty wore off and the endless paperwork took its toll, he’d considered more outlandish reasons. Call it poetic license, or nominative determinism, or just fate, but Terry Constable was always going to be a policeman when he grew up.

An officer that Constable had never seen before interrupted his train of thought.

“So, what do you think, Detective?”

Detective Constable looked at him blankly then turned his head back to survey the room again. A stack of DVD cases stretching all the way to the ceiling. A closed laptop that had been left on stand-by, one blue light blinking intermittently. A mug of cold tea sitting next to it. A body of a twenty-something male slumped in the corner, his neck slashed one end to the other, a trail of blood leading from him back to the laptop.

And a half-inflated balloon animal.

“Detective? What’s happened here?”

Detective Constable looked again at the young officer.

“Beats me kid. Let’s just write it up and get those strawberry floaters from forensics to sort it out.”

With that, the two men left the room.

Meanwhile, in his bunker in the heart of a hollowed out volcano somewhere in the Pacific, a mysterious figure in a white cowl and cape cackled and congratulated himself on the successful completion of his evil Tasks of the Week plan.

















To be continued...?

I hope you enjoyed it.

JK wrote:Taskmaster, it is entirely possible that I will be able to continue the film chain over the weekend - is it acceptable to post any extensions to the task after the deadline? No worries if not, it'd only be for bonus points.
