Dear the internet,

[eruthros]

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I've been working on various image stuff. As a result, I have a bunch of queries for people who remember tv better than I do.

1) Jack O'Neill tied up. The look: Black t-shirt, green bdu pants, collar, chains, arms held behind his back by a pole. The context: offworld? There are Jaffa involved, I think? And I think it's in season six or seven? Possibly? I know this one exists, I just can't find it.

2) I don't know that this one exists, but what the hey, it might. Do Gunn and Lindsey ever point guns or crossbows or other weapons at each other?

3) What would be the best HP film to go to, if I were looking for Snape, Draco, and Harry alone or foregrounded together in the same frame?

And a wild card:

4) What is your favorite (accidental or intentional) phallic visual gag?

For (4), I can think of a few that I've, umm, used in vids myself :-). In A Little Less Conversation, there's a shot from Highlander of Methos unwrapping a sword and offering it to Duncan - it's kind of a "classic" HL image in vids, and it's from the episode Deliverance. Also in Conversation, there's a shot from ST III: The Search for Spock, where a large phallic rock erupts out of the planet towards the end of the film.

Also, in the episode You're Welcome from Angel, there's kind of a hilarious moment where Lindsay's tiny dagger turns into a huge sword - I used it in Don't Cha.

Oh, a couple that I haven't used and that are unquestionably intentional - the Disney movie Mulan. At the end, the big battle between the evil guy and Mulan. The hero initially attacks the big evil guy, but he's carrying only a teeny dagger against evil guy's big sword, and he's defeated. Then evil guy comes after Mulan with his big sword - and she snaps her circular fan around it and yanks it away. It's freaking amazing.

Also, earlier in the film, there's a scene where Mulan wins a contest where the soldiers have to climb a large pole with two swinging circular weights strapped to their arms. The men keep climbing with the weights dangling, and fall. Mulan ties the weights in a knot and uses them as a sort of lever to pull herself up. Again, no doubt this was deliberate.

HA, I should've known to go straight to asking vidders! The dagger turning into a sword is totally hilarious :)

And I hadn't thought of Mulan, even though I watched it recently for Yuletide vidding purposes -- I love those scenes.

Hee - glad I could help! Oh, and don't forget the snake demon from Buffy's Reptile Boy!
