How to act like an idiot : for Dummies
« on: July 20, 2002, 12:03:31 AM »
Wheeeen youuuu areeee a vaaaaampiiiire youuuu muuuust hoooold ouuuut alllllll youuuuur woooooords toooo souuund draaamaaatiiiiiic.

::Laughing::

Joooooolia!

Is Barnabas an idiot? (good question) He knows Julia is under Tom's power, so he stands there and not only shows her the gun he plans to use, but also explains his plan to her in detail. As if she wasn't going to stand in the way.

THEN he turns his back on her and says things like "I see Jennings! He's out there WAITING for you!!!" As if she wasn't going to run out the door.

Liz Liz! As Tom and Liz look in two completely opposite directions!!

Mrs. Johnson opens the door and fails to notice a GIGANTIC TV studio camera swinging about in the foyer.

Or how Barnabas acts so calmly, after Julia has just messed up the plan to kill Tom.  He's just like, "well, this was our one chance to do it and it's gone.  Better luck next time."  If it had been me......

(Barnabas comes out of closet with gun)

Julia:  No!!  I can't let you kill him!

(Tom disappears)

Barnabas:  (slaps his forehead with his hand) Julia!!!  What the hell!?!!

Julia:  I couldn't let him die!

Barnabas:  May I remind you what is at stake here??  Your life, the experiment, Vicki's life, and the lives of practically everyone at Collinwood???

Julia:  Well, excuuuuuse me!!!  I haven't been getting this much action from a man in a long time---so f*** off!!!

Intermittantly. Unfortunately, in those durations he loses total brain power. There are no wimpy levels of dumbness allowed on DS!

Not only was Barn an imbecile to turn his back on Julia (letting her escape), when he goes to run out of the room, he heads the wrong way (left, instead of right to go down the staircase). Then the poor dear becomes paralyzed by his ignorance and just stands there unable to figure it all out.

It's a shame his brain isn't as smart as his wardrobe...

LOL, I kept expecting her to yell back over her shoulder to the next person to run out the door (was it Roger?), "Watch out for that camera!"

A howling blooper could have been having the camera snatching Clarice's Mrs. J wig. as she runs out the door.
