The HDC Fight of the Realms

[The Gate Master]

Fortunato and The Flayed One are sitting in the Yellow Realm. The gates are open but they remain still. Fortunato is wondering what came over him, and The Flayed One is attempting to heal his leg. But what seems to worry them most is the sound of scratching. Scratching coming from the outside of the walls. The deep voice rings through the realms.

"Oh, you are quite safe. You see, these realms are not just one room. You are in a hole new dimension, and it is made up of the separate realms. Why, they're in touching distance of each other. But these gates are the only way to cross through them. The gates were built by the old ones of this dimension, as a way of staying safe when they need to. But alas, they ran out of food and perished. But the gates remained.
Outside these halls, however, are creatures that occupy the dimesion. Creatures of unimaginable terror and evil whose one goal in life is to hurt. Not kill...hurt. Constant torture. They have a way of keeping their victims alive for an eternity, they just destroy them.
As I said, you are quite safe in there for now, but with every contestant that leaves, the energy required weakens the realms, spreading through the gates. Did you not wonder why only three can get through? After the third journey the outsiders will get in, and they will make you suffer. Be warned."

Fortunato and The Flayed One look at each other.

"Shit."

POSSIBLE SPOILER (FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN HALLOWEEN 2)




It's revealed both in Halloween 2 that Michael Myers is actually the brother of Laurie Strode. Thus, his motive isn't that of an anonymous Boogeyman; he's just after his younger sister, just like he had targeted his older one.

Mr. Gate Master - I'm sorry if I missed this, but what do the numbers next to our names mean?

The Death of Wesley Wyndam-Pryce in Angel:

In the final episode of Season Five, Wesley arrives at the mansion of Cyvus Vail, where he pretends that he intends to kill Angel and asks Vail for his support to be accepted as Angel's replacement in the Circle of the Black Thorn. After a few minutes of conversation, Wesley surprises Vail by attacking him with magic. But, Vail quickly recovers and restrains Wesley with more powerful magic, then stabs him in the abdomen with a kukri. Wesley releases a final burst of magic, momentarily stunning Vail, and crashes to the floor. Illyria storms in, distraught upon finding Wes mortally wounded. She offers to lie to him by appearing as Fred, and this time he accepts; he dies in her arms a few moments later.

Pros:

1. CGI enables directors and producers to create realistic effects where costumes, props, and make-up fall short. CGI adds a level of realism to not only characters, but entire worlds and assists the viewer in suspending their disbelief in fantastical situations.
2. CGI will also ultimately improve the level of acting ability in films; when we can CGI parts of an actor (enhance/decrease body parts, body build, and facial beauty), we no longer need to hire beautiful people with no acting ability. Now, people can be hired on acting talent alone and CGI can make up for any physical inadequacy that they may have.

Cons:

1. Unfortunately, while CGI has been praised for enhancing the special effects industry, part of the drawback is that that it is expensive and, like all other special effects, unless you have adequate funding and creative skillsets, you risk poor CGI, which will result in the Viewer's incapability of suspending their disbelief.
2. Also, CGI brings along with it a certain set of negative connotations for the "purest" film viewer. For Viewers who have embraced the old school thought of make-up, props, animatronics, etc. to perform the special effects, the notion of CGI being brought into a film automatically separates them from the "reality" of the movie. While CGI can create some incredible effects, there will always be the purest neigh-sayers who will refuse to support these films based on principle. Also, the Screen Actors Guild is horrified by the notion of CGI as it will ultimately put hundreds of physical special effects professionals out of jobs.
