The Cloister Bell




Every Episode The Cloister Bell Plays In | Doctor Who



Down Amongst The Cybermen


I don't want to CHANGE 

again. NEVER AGAIN! 


.....I can't keep on being

Somebody Else. 



Geezer Butler (Among the Cybermen)




The Absolute Unit : 

(He sits up with a gasp.) 


Dr. Disco : 

Sontarans! Perverting 

The Course of human history! 

....I don't want to go. 

......When The Doctor, 

when The Doctor was me....  When the Doctor was me. 

It's starting. I'm regenerating. No! No! No! No! No! NO


(The regeneration stops, and

 The TARDIS has materialised.) 


Dr. Disco

Where have you taken me? 

If you're trying to make a point, 




I'm not listening. 

I don't want to CHANGE 

again. NEVER AGAIN! 


.....I can't keep on being Somebody Else. 

Wherever it is, I'm staying


(He runs outside and 

The Cloister Bell sounds.)


[Snowstorm]


Dr. Disco

No! 


(He plunges his hands into The Snow 

with a sizzle, and Heals The Earth (Thanks, Doctor) 

The regeneration stops again.) 


Dr. Disco

I will not change. 


Old GrandFather

I will not change. I will not

No, no, no, no. The whole 

thing's ridiculous


Dr. Disco

Hello? Is someone there? 


Old GrandFather 

Who is that? 


Dr. Disco :

I'm The Doctor. 


(The elderly figure in checked trousers,  cape, 

scarf and astrakhan hat comes into view.) 


Old GrandFather

The Doctor. Oh, 

I don't think so. 


No, dear me, no.

 You may be a Doctor, 

but I am The Doctor. 


The original, you might say. 


(Taking hold of his lapels just like 

William Hartnell used to do.)

The Death of Superman Lives  What Happened




Q. : What were your major influences like what were your favorite characters when you were a kid start growing up ? 

Tim Burton :  "Well -- I  love movies and other -- mainly monster movies and uh Ray Harryhausen movies but i guess the genre that you know, horror movies, monster movies, science fiction films -- 

I Think my favorite uh obviously my favorite comicbook character was Batman just getting into the sort of [The] Psychology of The Superhero -- that was at that time, you know sort of new territory --

And so when I got involved with Superman, it was just a different sort of -- uh you know -- sort of exploration of that kind of feeling of being different and feeling  like somebody from another planet. 

So those kind of themes were always quite strong in old monster movies, and then some of the comic books, you know, the graphic novel came into play the sort of psychology of the characters --

And so obviously, a lot of the comic book characters fit into that kind of mythology of somebody who doesn't you know fit in -- if somebody doesn't belong; and that sort of exploration of feeling like An Alien on a planet and being different and having to sort of hide yourself in some ways and suppress certain sides of yourself, and you know, sort of secretive internal nature of that of that kind of a character....  So that that i think is the thing that was, you know, The Root of it, was the most interesting

Superman's Guards


Superman | Sneak Peek

"So I go back into it, and I read it, 
and when I'm all done he's like, 
'Alight I think we got a movie here -- 
He's going, 'The problem though, 
you're missing some beats
some action beats -- you need 
an action beat every 10 pages
something big has to happen --"

I said 'What are you thinking about..?' 

He's like 'Well, it's just an example, 
like when you go you have 
a scene where Brainiac goes 
to The Fortress of Solitude 
looking for Superman -- '

Superman's dead at this point -- 
(hope I didn't spoil the movie for anybody...) 

"-- so Brainiac's looking for The Fortress of Solitude and something should happen there there should be a big [ __ ] fight 

I'm like, '-- but Superman's Dead 
at this point he's like, "I know, I know 
but can't Brainiac fights something else up there?"

and I was like "Well, like what...?

He's like what about, like, 
Superman's Guards, or Soldiers 

And I'm like "....why -- 
Why would Superman need guards...? 
You know he's --
He's Superman he's and -- 
plus, it's called "The Fortress 
of Solitude" -- nobody's up there..." 

And he said, "Well, Jesus Christ --
he's going how about -- what about, 
where is it is, in The Antarctic?" 

I said yeah 
he's like, "What about polar bears
and I was like polar bears....?
he said "Yeah, have 'em.... 
have 'em fight some polar bears -- 
Brainiac shows up, he's trying 
to get in the Fortress 
polar bears come at him and 
he just fuckin' kills one -- and 
one runs away -- 

'Cuz we don't want 
to piss off The PETA-People.

And I said, "You want me to write a scene where Brainiac is wrastling polar bears....?" 

And he says, "Yeah, you know anything about polar bears...?" and I said, "....no I don't --" he's like "Polar bear's the fiercest killers in The Animal Kingdom --" [Applause] 

-- and at this point I'm just like "This dude has way too much access to The Discovery Channel...."

Make Peace





The Walking Dead S6E4 - Morgan vs Eastman




It's about redirecting

Evading.

And actually CARING about 
The Welfare of Your Opponent.

So You have to care about YourSELF.

You don't have to believe YOUR Life 
is precious, but that ALL Life is precious.
You have to redirect those Thoughts, 
The History that tells you otherwise.

What We've Done, We've done.
We evade it by moving forward, 
with A Code to never Do it AGAIN.

To Make UP for it.
To still accept What We WERE.
To ACCEPT Everyone.

To Protect EVERYONE.
And in DOING that, 
Protect Yourself.

To CREATE Peace.







Come home, Nana.

I'm right here.

(Sta)'-

I came to support you and to honor 
Your Father... but I can't stay.

I found my calling out there.

I've seen too many in need just to turn a blind eye.
I can't be happy here... knowing that 
there's people out there who have nothing.

What would you have Wakanda do about it?

Share what we have.

We could provide aid... and access 
to technology and refuge 
to those who need it.

Other countries do it, 
we could do it better.

The King :
We are not like these 
other countries, Nakia.

If the world found out 
what we truly are... 
what we possess... 
we could lose 
our way of life.

Wakanda is strong enough to Help others 
and protect ourselves at the same time.

The King :
If you were not so stubborn, 
you would make a great Queen.

I would make a great queen 
because I am so stubborn.

See, you admit it! 
If that's what I wanted.

Is that him?

Glory to Bast, man. 
Is he still growing?

Of course.

I see Nakia is back.

You guys going to work it out?

T'Challa... what's wrong?

Nakia thinks we should 
be doing more.

More, like what?

Foreign aid, refugee programs.

You let The Refugees in... They bring 
Their Problems with them.

And then Wakanda is 
like everywhere else.

Now if you said you wanted me and my men... 
to go out there and clean up 
The World, then I'll be all for it.

But waging War 
on other countries 
has never been Our Way.

You, too?




This is your last chance.

Throw down your weapons, and we can handle this another way.

I lived my entire life waitin' for this moment.

I trained, I lied, I k*lled... just to get here.

I k*lled in America, Afghanistan...

Iraq.

I took life from my own brothers and sisters right here on this continent.

And all this death... just so I could k*ll you.

Let the challenge begin.

Yield!

Snap out of it, T'Challa!

Come on, get up.

Come here.

This is for my father.

Erik!

Zuri, no. Stop!

Zuri! Zuri, don't!

I am the cause of your father's death.

Not him.

Take me.

I'll take you both, Uncle James.

No!

No! No!

Zuri, no!

No!

No! No! Zuri! Zuri!

No! No!

Is this your king?

Is this your king?

The Black Panther, who's supposed to lead you into the future?

Come on, Brother!

Is there nothing that can be done?

Him?

He's supposed to protect you?

No.

No!

Nah. I'm your king.

No! No! We have to go now!

Queen Mother, let's go!

The Queen Mother and Shuri, they are safe?

Yes.

Thank you.

We should get to them immediately.

I cannot.

What?

Though my heart is with you.

We cannot turn over our nation to a man who showed up here only hours ago.

He is of royal blood.

He k*lled T'Challa! In ritual combat.

Does that really matter?

You are the greatest warrior Wakanda has.

Help me overthrow him before he becomes too strong.

Overth row?

Nakia!

I'm not a spy who can come and go as they so choose!

I am loyal to that throne, no matter who sits upon it.

What are you loyal to?

I loved him.

I loved my country, too.

Then you serve your country.

No. I save my country.

What's wrong?

The king is dead.

Come with me, unless you want to join him.

First Baba.

And now my brother.

Mama, we didn't even get to bury him.

It's me. Nakia. Who is this man?

He's a friend of T'Challa's. He saved my life.

Where's Okoye?

Okoye is not coming.

She and the Dora Milaje will serve the new king.

Wait here.

What has happened to our Wakanda?

Allow the Heart-Shaped Herb... to give you the powers of the Black Panther... and take you to the Ancestral Plane.

What did I tell you about going into my things?

What did you find?

Your home.

I gave you a key hoping that you might see it someday.

Yes. The sunsets there are the most beautiful in the world.

But I fear you still may not be welcome.

Why?

They will say you are lost.

But I'm right here.

No tears for me?

Everybody dies.

It's just life around here.

Well, look at what I have done.

I should've taken you back long ago.

Instead, we are both abandoned here.

Well, maybe your home is the one that's lost.

That's why they can't find us.

Breathe! Breathe, My King, breathe.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

The Heart-Shaped Herb did that?

This all Of it?

Yes. So when it comes time for another king, we will be ready.

Another king?

Yeah, go ahead and burn all that.

My King, we cannot do that. It is our tradition...

When I tell you to do something, I mean that shit.

Burn it all!

You know, where I'm from... when black folks started revolutions, they never had the firepower... or the resources to fight their oppressors.

Where was Wakanda?

Yeah, all that ends today.

We got spies embedded in every nation on Earth.

Already in place.

I know how colonizers think.

So we're gonna use their own strategy against 'em.

We're gonna send vibranium weapons out to our w*r Dogs.

They'll arm oppressed people all over the world... so they can finally rise up and k*ll those in power.

And their children.

And anyone else who takes their side.

It's time they know the truth about us!

We're warriors!

The world's gonna start over, and this time, we're on top.

The sun will never set on the Wakandan empire.

Wakanda has survived for so long... by fighting when only absolutely necessary.

Wakanda survived in the past this way, yes.

But the world is changing, General.

Elders, it is getting smaller.

The outside world is catching up... and soon it will be the conquerors or the conquered.

I'd rather be the former.

You heard your orders. Let's get to it.

So where are we going again?

We're taking the Heart-Shaped Herb to Jabariland.

Heart-Shaped Herb? What is that?

It gives whoever takes it heightened abilities.

It's what made T'Challa so strong.

Nana.

I don't like this.

The Herb belongs to us.

We may be creating a bigger monster with M'Baku.

Nakia, you should take it yourself.

I am a spy with no army.

I wouldn't stand a chance.

We'll go.











This is it for you, Cousin.

Hell of a move!

My pop said Wakanda was the most beautiful thing he ever seen.

He promised he was gonna show it to me one day.

You believe that?

Kid from Oakland, running around believing in fairy tales.

It's beautiful.

Maybe we can still heal you.

Why?

So you can just lock me up?

Nah.

Just bury me in the ocean... with my ancestors thatjumped from the ships.

'Cause they knew death was better than bondage.

Thank you.

You saved me.

You saved my family.

Our nation.

There's nothing to thank me for.

It is our duty to...

It was my duty to fight for what I love.

I should've...

You can't blame me, I almost died.

(Sta)'-

I think I know a way you can still fulfill your calling.

Please stay.

He moves it! He moves it!

Who man is that? Bucket!

Easy.

When you said you would take me to California for the first time...

I thought you meant Coachella... or Disneyland.

Why here?

This is where our father k*lled our uncle.

They're tearing it down.

Good.

They are not tearing it down.

I bought this building.

And that building.

And that one over there.

This will be the first.

Wakandan International Outreach Center.

Nakia will oversee the social outreach.

And you will spearhead the science and information exchange.

You're kidding.

Hey, yo. Man, what the hell is that?

That's like a Bugatti spaceship!

Bro, it came out of nowhere. Did y'all see that?

What?

Check it out, bro.

We can take this back to the house.

Pull up to school in this.

Look, we can break it apart. We can sell it.

On eBay.

Everybody get, like, a million apiece.

I wouldn't do that if I were you guys.

Where you come from? From Wakanda.

What is a Wakanda?

Hey, yo!

This yours?

Who...

Who are you?

My Name is King T'Challa, 
Son of King T'Chaka.

I am The Sovereign ruler of the nation of Wakanda.

And for the first time in our History,
we will be sharing our knowledge and 
resources with the outside world.

Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows.

We cannot.We must not.

We will work to be an example of how we 
as brothers and sisters on this earth should treat each other.

Now, more than ever,the illusions of division threaten our very existence.

We all know the truth.

More connects us than separates us.

The King :
But in times of crisis The Wise build bridges 
while The Foolish build barriers.
We must find A Way to look after one 
another as if We were one, single tribe.


The Secretary General 
of The United Nations :
With all due respect, King T'ChaHa
what can A Nation of Farmers have to 
offer The Rest of The World?









Are you playing around with that man again?

No. You're teasing him again.

Don't wake him. He must rest. No, I'm not.

No, I'm not.

Thabo, you're doing that.

He's doing it. He's lying.

No, he's resting.

Go, go!

KIDS; 
White Wolf!

SHURII :
Stop that!

KIDS
White Wolf!

Good morning, Sergeant Barnes.

White Wolf :
Bucky.

How are you feeling?

GoodThank you.


Come.

Much more for 
you to learn.
