New: Placeholder – Librarian

Artwork by Michela Heim

As much as I claim/insist I'm a fountain of knowledge when it comes to contemporary music, there's always going to be an artist that makes it literally impossible to know any more than, 'This track's pretty dope'. And this track is indeed, 'pretty dope', yet it leaves a painfully unsatisfied taste in the mouth; the taste of wanting more. Meeting somewhere in the middle of house and post-dubstep, Placeholder's latest cut is a jerking and bubbling delight; simple synths, a great arrangement of samples and a killer groove, sometimes that's all you need.

From wikipedia.org:

Infinity Blade II is an action role-playing video game for the iOS mobile devices developed by Chair Entertainment and Epic Games released through the Apple App Store. The game is the sequel for the acclaimed Infinity Blade from the same developers.

Infinity Blade II was announced on October 4, 2011 during the Apple iPhone 4S Presentation Keynote. It was subsequently released on December 1, 2011.

The sequel features enhanced graphics and a storyline continuing from the novel Infinity Blade: Awakening.

Gameplay
In Infinity Blade II, as with its predecessor, the player explores the world through an "on-rails" mechanic; that is, the player's path through the environment is largely predetermined and choices of direction are limited. Despite this, the player may choose to explore different paths through the castle that serves as the central environment of the game, leading to various ends such as Thane's tower, the chamber containing the MX-Goliath, and the cavern of the Stone Demon. Progression through the castle is halted every time the character enters a new room or encounters a new foe, giving the player a chance to search for loot (bags of gold are hidden throughout many scenes), equip or buy/sell weapons, gather information on upcoming enemies, and choose the next point in the path. The player has a certain amount of freedom in moving the camera around while the character is at rest. While the character is in motion, camera movement is much more limited, as the scene becomes cinematic in nature.

The primary game mechanic is one-on-one sword combat with enemies encountered throughout the scripted path. The player controls the character's weapon or weapons by swiping a finger across the screen. While in combat, players can touch the bottom left or bottom right side of the screen to dodge attacks or the bottom center of the screen to block attacks with a shield, which breaks if used too much. Players can also parry blows by matching the timing of their blows with their foes' and swiping in a parallel direction. New to Infinity Blade II is the ability to fight with dual wield and heavy weapons, separate classes from the "light" weapons that were the only type available in the first game.[4] When fighting with dual weapons, blocking is unavailable, replaced by a downwards dodge action. By contrast, when fighting with heavy weapons, dodging is unavailable, and the player instead must counter attacks by blocking in the correct direction. Successfully dodging, blocking, or parrying enough times in a row stuns the enemy, leaving them vulnerable to counterattack for a short period.

Plot
The game begins with Siris, the main character, and his companion Isa arriving at an Asian-themed estate owned by Saydhi, one of the Deathless and an information dealer. Isa appeals to Siris not to go further, but when he persists, she reluctantly explains that Saydhi will answer one question if he can fight his way to her by defeating her champions. Once he does, Saydhi offers him a place as one of her champions, but Siris demands that she answer his question instead: where can he find the Worker of Secrets? Suddenly suspicious, Saydhi tells Siris where to find the Worker, but attacks him immediately. Once Siris defeats her, he notices a pedestal with a keyhole that fits the Infinity Blade. He proceeds to slide the sword in it, and the pedestal disappears into the ground.

Suddenly, Raidriar, The God King, appears behind Siris clutching the Infinity Blade. Calling Siris "Ausar," the God King takes the blade and prepares to stab Siris. However, before he can deal the fatal blow, Isa appears on a rooftop and shoots Siris in the head with a crossbow, killing him abruptly. The God King lays down the blade in frustration.

Siris awakes on a cot in an industrial-looking chamber, naked save for a loin cloth, realizing that he too is a Deathless. He journeys to a tall castle, reminiscent of the one from the first game, though this one is crumbling. He battles his way into the tower and up to the top floor where he finds Thane, High Lord of House Ix, sitting before a round seal in the floor showing a great tree. When Siris defeats him and moves to break the seal, Thane warns that Siris will lose his life in the process. Siris reveals his immortality to Thane before breaking the seal and dying.

Again, Siris wakes in the chamber, apparently unscathed. He returns to the castle again and battles his way through. He must now defeat three Sentinels: the Archivist, in the library; the Stone Demon, beneath the arena; and a mortal who guards the seals with an MX-Goliath, a large robotic warrior suit. After he defeats each, Siris unlocks another seal, dying each time and being reborn in the mysterious chamber.

After unlocking all the seals, Siris proceeds to the top of the tower once more, where he again finds Thane, who, like Siris, is a Deathless. The two duel once again. When Siris defeats Thane, he unlocks the final seal in the floor, opening the way to the Vault of Tears where the Worker of Secrets is imprisoned. But before he can speak to him, Thane appears once more and again battles Siris. This time, the Worker of Secrets disrupts the fight by placing a hand on Thane's back. The lord dies immediately. The Worker explains that he has disrupted Thane's Quantum Identity Pattern, 'granting' him a true death. The Worker thanks Siris for coming, but explains that he can only be freed if another takes his place in the prison. He appeals to Siris to find Raidriar, defeat him once again, and bring him to the Vault. Siris reluctantly promises to do so.

Siris journeys back to Saydhi's estate and rings a gigantic bell while calling out a challenge to the God King. Raidriar soon appears and sends three minions after him. When Siris defeats them, he engages the God King in battle once more. Finally, Siris knocks him out with a swift blow to the head and brings him back to the Worker of Secrets's eternal prison. There, Siris dumps his still unconscious body and prepares to leave the cell with the Worker by stabbing the Infinity Blade into the seal. When the Worker grabs onto the sword, a blue light blasts Siris away. He then reveals that it was actually Siris who imprisoned him, not The God King, back when he was known as the Deathless Ausar. Weak and disoriented, Siris watches as the Worker escapes with The Infinity Blade, leaving him locked up in the Vault with Raidriar, yelling in anger and regret.

In a post-credits scene, Isa is shown walking toward the castle, presumably to rescue Siris.

From wikia.com:

The Archivist is the first of 3 Blood Sentinels after beating Thane for the first time. The Archivist guards one of the seals to the Vault of Tears, which holds the Worker of Secrets. Despite being immortal, and having lived for a large amount of time, the Archivist is not deathless.

Story
Upon Siris's second rebirth after defeating Thane, Siris returns in order to free the Worker of Secrets. Siris then comes across the Archivist, the first Blood Sentinel standing in front of a giant stone tablet engraved with markings. The Archivist tells Siris that he should not have come and laments that Siris is probably only a pawn in greater schemes. He also tells Siris that the place they stand in was once the home of a great evil who is now gone, slain by Raidriar on the plains of Koroth. Despite that, the Archivist says that he remained to study, ponder, and question. Before engaging Siris, the Archivist tells him that he will spill his blood with regret. During the battle, the Archivist is shocked to see that it is not only a Deathless fighting him but Ausar himself (as Siris). Upon his defeat, the Archivist warns Ausar that he has begun something he cannot finish and that before he unlocks the rest of the seals, the whole place will come crashing down and the Worker will die with it. Afterwards, Siris plunges his hand into the seal, killing himself in the process and breaking one of the seals restricting access to the Worker.

Tactics
The Archivist starts out at level 50 with no resistances or elemental attacks (despite wielding the Sacrum blades, which are dark-branded when used by Siris). He is classified an agile enemy. As of the Vault of Tears update, he can also vault back and fire blades of dark energy in a similar fashion to Saydhi's fire pulses and Thane's ice bolts, ultimately finishing the volley with a leaping overhead slash.

Trivia
* The Archivist has the lowest level of the blood sentinels upon first encounter at level 50
* This is in consideration that after defeat, a seal would be broken by Siris and appear lit up on the mural, therefore Thane (as fought during his first encounter at level 25) would not count.
* According to the Fiction Podcast, although the Archivist had an extremely long lifespan, he was not actually a Deathless.
* The Archivist's voice actor, Jim Cummings, also voices the Disney characters Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger.

From epicgames.com:

all we know for sure about the Archivist is that he's not Deathless. Other than that we just know he says some very cryptic things and he may or may not be referring to the same person the whole time.

Archivist: "You should not be here."
Siris: "What IS this place?"
Archivist: "It was once the home of the most vile evil ever to befall this world. He's been gone for ages... Slain by Raidriar on the Plains of Koroth"
Archivist: "Many Devoted believe him truly dead - yet here I study, ponder and... Question."
Archivist: "The Seals must never be broken, for he cannot be allowed to return."
Archivist: "Poor little man. You are a fraud, and likely a pawn"
Archivist: "I spill your blood with regret."

Intermission:

Archivist: "This cannot be! Ausar..?"

After you defeat him:

Archivist: "You have begun something... You cannot finish, Ausar"
Archivist: "This place will come crashing down... Before you can unlock them all. And the Worker... Will die with it!"

we tend to think of the parts in blue being about the Worker of Secrets (since he refers to the seals and a "he" who must never be allowed to return) and the parts in red being about Ausar (formerly the most vile evil blah blah blah). But at face value it's all about the Worker of Secrets. The idea that the first part could be about Ausar is kind of a fan theory that caught on and is only supported be the Archivist's last few lines revealing that he knows Siris is actually Ausar.

anyways, hopefully having his lines here will help

"you will have no mercy from me!"

American Wife Video Book Review
1:18
That's right y'all! I have decided to expand The BelleBeat to include video reviews of some of my favorite books, as well as new releases. Before picking up a copy of Laura Bush's autobiography Spoken from the Heart, here's a few thoughts on another book she inspired: American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Prep.

[scene opens with a woman speaking directly to the camera]
BUNNYB: With the recent release of Laura Bush's new biography "Spoken From the Heart," I thought it would be a great idea to take a look back at another book she inspired ... "American Wife," by Curtis Sittenfeld.
[she smiles]
BUNNYB: While it's not exactly a confirmed biography, it's clear that Laura Bush's life inspired the heroine in Sittenfeld's book, Alice Blackwell. From the time that she was a small-time librarian in Texas, to meeting her husband, and then their political rise up towards the White House.
[she smiles]
BUNNYB: It was interesting to me the way Sittenfeld was able to give a voice and give more personality to a woman who many of us saw on a regular basis on TV, but rarely heard from nearly as much as our current First Lady, Michelle Obama.
[she smiles]
BUNNYB: Laura always had differing views from George. This was something we knew, but was never something that was brought to light. After all, what kind of political statement would that make?
[she smiles]
BUNNYB: Nonetheless, Sittenfeld's able to give life to her and tell her story, and her side of their political rise, showing exactly what it's like for the woman who marries a politician.
[she smiles]
BUNNYB: So until you get a chance to pick up Laura's new book ... mine is already on it's way from Amazon!
[she smiles]
BUNNYB: Take time and read "American Wife," I guarantee you won't regret it.

From wikipedia.org:

Sittenfeld's third novel, called American Wife (2008), is the tale of Alice Blackwell, a fictional character who shares many similarities with former First Lady Laura Bush. In the novel, Blackwell is an only child who grows up in a Democratic family. As a high school student, Blackwell kills a friend in an auto accident. She also has an illegal abortion and discovers that her grandmother is a secret lesbian. She meets, falls in love with, and marries the wild son of an elite Republican family. Her husband rises in politics to the office of president, and, although Blackwell staunchly disagrees with her husband's politics, she continues to love him.

American Wife: A Novel
Curtis Sittenfeld (Author)
Release date: February 10, 2009

A kind, bookish only child born in the 1940s, Alice Lindgren has no idea that she will one day end up in the White House, married to the president. In her small Wisconsin hometown, she learns the virtues of politeness, but a tragic accident when she is seventeen shatters her identity and changes the trajectory of her life. More than a decade later, when the charismatic son of a powerful Republican family sweeps her off her feet, she is surprised to find herself admitted into a world of privilege. And when her husband unexpectedly becomes governor and then president, she discovers that she is married to a man she both loves and fundamentally disagrees with–and that her private beliefs increasingly run against her public persona. As her husband's presidency enters its second term, Alice must confront contradictions years in the making and face questions nearly impossible to answer.

---

From today.com:

There's no question that Laura Bush provided the inspiration for protagonist in Curtis Sittenfeld's upcoming novel, "American Wife." And although the tale Sittenfeld concocts is almost pure fiction, there's enough of the first lady in it to already have created a sensation in Washington, D.C.

Radaronline.com called "American Wife" "a thinly veiled novel based on Laura Bush's life that is sure to send the White House into a fury."

A review of the plot synopsis and several lurid excerpts posted on Radar's site show why. Alice Blackwell, the title character, is a single child who grows up to be a librarian. A Democrat, she falls for the roguish son of a privileged family of Republican bluebloods. As a high school student, she kills a classmate in a traffic accident. As a young woman, she has an illegal abortion and discovers her grandmother is a lesbian. And she describes in graphic detail sex with the president of the United States, a man whose policies she comes to utterly disagree with but whom she continues to love.

The sex scenes, which are too graphic to reprint here, include a loving description of the presidential plumbing and musings on his "cute little butt."

"On the gossip front, the novel doesn't disappoint," writes Radaronline.com. "Alice's antics are sure to have tongues chattering from coast to coast."

Steamy sections
One such episode involves discovering her grandmother's secret love for a female doctor. In one of the Radaronline.com excerpts, Alice narrates:

"...I stepped instead into the living room, and just before I crossed the threshold, I heard my grandmother's laughter, and just after I heard her laughter, I saw her sitting on Dr. Wycomb's lap, kissing Dr. Wycomb on the lips.

"Dr. Wycomb was dressed in a burgundy silk bathrobe; my grandmother was wearing a beige bra and a beige half-slip trimmed with lace. She was facing Dr. Wycomb, and their mouths were open a little and their eyes were closed, and the kiss went on for several seconds and had not yet stopped when I backed out.... I had to leave the apartment; there was no alternative.

"[...] Approaching the nearer vase, I pushed aside the greens and then I vomited-hideously, pungently, gloriously - into the vase's depths."

Sittenfeld, a young novelist schooled at the Iowa Writer's Workshop, has published two best-sellers: "Prep," a tale of prep-school life that has been called an updated and female version of J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye," and "The Man of My Dreams." Critically praised, she's shown a talent for taking real people and places and dressing them up in fictional clothing.

Facts and fiction
She does that with Alice Blackwell, taking some actual facts about Laura and President Bush and then letting her imagination run wild. Laura Bush actually was a librarian, and, as a 17-year-old high school girl, she ran a stop sign in rural Texas and crashed into another car. The occupant, a highly popular athlete and her classmate, was killed.

Buoyed by those few facts, readers are expected to gobble up the rest in the book, which is being published by Random House in time for the Republican National Convention in early September.

The synopsis on the publisher's Web site hints at the conflicts faced by Alice Blackwell:

"As Alice learns to make her way amid the clannish energy and smug confidence of the Blackwell family, navigating the strange rituals of their country club and summer estate, she remains uneasy with her newfound good fortune. And when Charlie eventually becomes President, Alice is thrust into a position she did not seek - one of power and influence, privilege and responsibility. As Charlie's tumultuous and controversial second term in the White House wears on, Alice must face contradictions years in the making: How can she both love and fundamentally disagree with her husband? How complicit has she been in the trajectory of her own life? What should she do when her private beliefs run against her public persona?"

Amazon.com, which is offering the $26 novel for $17.16, offers two jacket blurbs. The first, by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo, says: "Curtis Sittenfeld is an amazing writer, and 'American Wife' is a brave and moving novel about the intersection of private and public life in America. Ambitious and humble at the same time, Sittenfeld refuses to trivialize or simplify people, whether real or imagined."

Novelist Kurt Andersen also offers and endorsement: ""What a remarkable (and brave) thing: a compassionate, illuminating, and beautifully rendered portrait of a fictional Republican first lady with a life and husband very much like our actual Republican first lady's. Curtis Sittenfeld has written a novel as impressive as it is improbable."

[scene opens with an African American male librarian sitting at the front desk of a public library, when the beeper on his wristwatch goes off, so he approaches the two male patrons sitting at one of the tables]
LEROY: It's closing time, gentlemen.
FRITZ: But we're not finished yet ...
LEROY: I'm sorry, all white people have to leave.
PAUL: I don't think, I don't think you understand ...
FRITZ: Oh.
[he reaches into his pocket and hands him a card which reads "Official Card - Allowed to Stay in the Library Past Closing Time"]
LEROY: Oh. Well, that's different. I tell you what, I'll lock up and y'all let me know when you're finished, I'll let you out.
[the both loudly say "Thank you!", so the librarian puts a finger to his lips and shushes them]
LEROY: Shh!
[they both lower their voices and quietly finish their sentence ("Leroy ... "), as he gives them an angry look and points at all of the papers they have spread across the table]
LEROY: And y'all clean this up.
[he walks away, as the two men continue their research, then cut to the librarian quietly singing to himself as he prepares to close up the library]
LEROY: Everybody likes Duke Ellington ...
[he goes to close the shades on the windows, when he notices the lighthouse outside is shining its light into his eyes, then he turns suddenly at the sound of strange noises coming from behind a closed door]
LEROY: Who's in there? Library is closed. All white people must leave ...
[he opens the door and steps inside to find the source of the noise, then stops and stares at whatever is inside]
LEROY: Oh shit!
[the door closes behind him, but he quickly runs back out into the main reading room and slams the door shut behind him, breathing heavily with a frightened look on his face]
LEROY: I don't believe that shit! I don't believe it!
[someone from behind the door smashes it open with an axe, as Leroy screams in fright]
LEROY: I do believe, I do believe, I do believe ...
[he screams again, then cut back to Fritz and Paul as they continue their research (apparently oblivious to the commotion going on in the main reading room), when Fritz holds up a newspaper]
FRITZ: Hey, Paul. You should read this, it's kinda neat. It's a picture of the lighthouse, and the guy that used to run it. It says he was washed out to sea in a terrible storm, and his body was never found. And on the same night, a ship that his wife was on crashed and sank and she--
PAUL: Wait a minute. Repeat that.
[he shrugs]
FRITZ: Hey, Paul. You should read this, it's kinda neat. It's a picture of the lighthouse, and--
[he grabs the paper from him]
PAUL: Give me that!
[he looks at the picture]
PAUL: Think I've got it.
FRITZ: You know where the missing corpse is?
[he erases part of the picture, so that it looks like the captain has big white eyebrows]
PAUL: Who's that look like?
FRITZ: Burgess Meredith.
PAUL: No.
[he erases some more of the picture]
PAUL: Who's that look like?
FRITZ: It's Phil Donahue!
PAUL: No, try again.
FRITZ: Virginia Graham?
PAUL: No! Fritz, it's the lightkeeper. The missing corpse, it's Captain James Howdy!
[the two suddenly hear Jaws-like music playing]
FRITZ: I'm scared ...
PAUL: Don't be scared, Fritz. And you know where that missing body is?
[he shakes his head]
PAUL: Good, so do I. And the first thing we have to do is get down to that lighthouse and warn Casper, he might be in danger.
[Fritz suddenly notices the zombie captain slowly walking up behind Paul, but becomes tongue-tied and can't properly warn him (so Paul continues with his explanation)]
PAUL: Then we gotta go to the Kook house and talk to Ralph, I'm sure that crackpot knows something. We can get to the bottom of this once and for all!
[Fritz starts pointing and mouthing "The Captain!"]
PAUL: What's the matter? What's the matter? Oh, you're ... Oh, you're speechless.
[he holds up seven fingers]
PAUL: Oh, charades! Okay, seven words. First word, small. Your pee-pee!
[he laughs]
PAUL: I'm sorry. Uh, small. I, and, or, the--
[he points to his nose]
PAUL: "The!" The ...
[he points to his head]
PAUL: Your bad tooth! The, hat ... The cap. The cap, the soup. Oriental soup. Wanton. The cap-ton ... is!
[he keeps gesticulating wildly as the captain gets closer]
PAUL: The captain is running? He's growing ... He's going? The captain is going to? Going to kill? He's going to kill ... you? No, the captain is going to kill me!
FRITZ: [quietly] The captain is gonna kill you!
PAUL: Fritz, that's absurd ...
[he finally turns around, just as the captain smashes his axe into the middle of the table]
[cut to a closeup of the two men, as they scream and begin to comically run around the stacks in an attempt to escape the captain, when they stop and hide behind a bookcase (pulling out their guns)]
PAUL: I can't believe it, a living dead fiend!
FRITZ: Yeah, a live dead person! Now what're we gonna do?
PAUL: Shut up, Fritz, I'm trying to think!
[Fritz suddenly pulls a book off of the shelf]
FRITZ: Hey, dominoes! My favorite game ...
[he opens the book and starts reading]
FRITZ: "Dominoes, a game played with rectangular blocks, usually twenty eight in number."
PAUL: Wait a minute, repeat that.
[he shrugs]
FRITZ: Hey, dominoes! My favorite game--
[he grabs the book from him]
PAUL: Give me that!
[he quickly scans through the book]
PAUL: Fritz, I think I've got it!
FRITZ: What?
PAUL: Never mind, just follow me!
FRITZ: Nuh-uh!
[he points his gun at him]
PAUL: Fritz ...
FRITZ: Okay, I'm going, I'm going ...
[they sneak behind another bookcase and spy on the captain]
PAUL: [whispers] There he is, I see him!
FRITZ: The domino theory!
[they both give a thumbs up, then push the bookcase over towards the captain, but it only manages to knock over the immediate bookcases around him before circling back and pinning the two underneath their weight]

From google.com:

A comedy horror film of 1983, "Hysterical," stars the Hudson brothers - Bill, Mark, and Brett - and uses the library and a librarian for comedic purposes in two scenes. Mark is Dr. Paul Batton and Brett is Fritz; they are two itinerant, incompetent adventurers who are hired to solve a problem confronting the residents of Cape Hellview. A zombie captain who died one hundred years ago after a fall from the local lighthouse suddenly reappears, killing local residents who immediately become white-faced zombies. To research this mystery, Paul and Fritz visit the public library, and at closing time, librarian Leroy (Franklyn Ajaye) approaches them and says, "It's closing time, gentlemen." They complain, but Leroy, a Black American, apologetically responds, "I'm sorry, all white people have to leave."

[...]

Leroy is killed by the zombie captain, and as the captain closes in on Paul and Fritz, they manage to escape by pushing over a book stack which, in domino effect, knocks over all the book stacks.

Later in the film, they mayor and medical examiner visit the library to find Paul and Fritz, who are missing - they are trapped under the book stacks. Even though it is Sunday and the library is closed, Leroy opens the door for them. Leroy, now a zombie, is in whiteface and greets them, "Hey, you know. What difference does it make?" Leroy follows them around the library, repeating the zombies' favorite phrase, "What difference does it make?"

Leroy, beared and bespectacled, dresses very casually - open collar madras shirt under a gold cardigan sweater, which projects (when coupled with his white socks) an "only 38" image. These visual characteristics and his many occupational tasks - reading at his desk, maintaining silence, and enforcing the library's closing time - buttress the stereotypical image.

From collider.com:

Another clip features Tyler's character, Nim Galuu, the Keeper of the Scrolls. He's essentially an archivist who keeps a history of everything that goes on in the world, which is written within the rings of a tree. As Wedge said, "[Tyler brought] not a lot of acting, but a lot of himself." Mub and Grub get up to more antics here, some of which were seen in the most recent trailer.

[scene opens with two news anchors speaking directly to the camera]
ROY TERSE: Hello, and welcome back to The Noose ... Despite repeated reminders, some Singaporeans are refusing to return books borrowed from the library, some from as far back as twenty years.
ADRIANNA WOW: And library officials now say, enough is enough! If you're one of these serial book hoarders ...
[she turns to her co-anchor and smiles]
ADRIANNA WOW: I don't have a problem, I don't read.
ROY TERSE: It's obvious.
ADRIANNA WOW: You may soon be visited by the National Library's new secret weapon. Jacques Ooi has all the details.
[cut to a black and white photograph of Groucho Marx, then to several photograph of dogs next to books]
JACQUES OOI: [in voice over] The great American comedian Groucho Marx once said, "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
[cut to a male reporter ("Jacques Ooi, jooi [at] thenoose dot com") outside of the public library, speaking directly to the camera]
JACQUES OOI: But it seems that many Singaporeans just can't get enough of reading, so much so that they hoard borrowed library books for months on end. Despite many reminders by National Library officials to return borrowed books on time, many continue to hoard them as if they were treasured heirlooms.
[cut to several still images of patrons using the library]
JACQUES OOI: [in voice over] Now the angry librarians have come up with a bold new strategy to literally throw the book at recalcitrant hoarders.
[cut to a male librarian ("Wu Tak Cheh, Librarian") speaking directly to the camera]
WU TAK CHEH: We, as peaceful bookworms, tried to be nice. First, we send them dainty little reminders ... and then second reminders. And so on, and so forth.
[his smile fades away]
WU TAK CHEH: But still these clowns refuse to turn in their tomes. So, that leaves us with no choice but to--
[he suddenly lifts his arms and yells]
WU TAK CHEH: Release the kraken!
[he gives the camera an impish grin]
WU TAK CHEH: [quietly] Yeah.
[cut to an overweight Singaporean (wig of long red hair, no shirt, kilt, bracelets and headband apparently made out of aluminum foil) carrying a large bag while walking towards an apartment building, as dramatic music plays]
JACQUES OOI: [in voice over] His name is Conan, and since this morning he's been on a warpath, one HDB block and one bungalow at a time. He takes no quarter.
[cut to Conan climbing the stairs and stopping in front of one apartment]
JACQUES OOI: [in voice over] Stand in the way of the man and the books, and you risk being torn down mercilessly, like the old national library at Stamford Road.
[he rings the bell, and when a man answers, he pushes him inside as the sounds of a fight can be heard ... until he re-emerges, holding a book and speaking in a bad Arnold Schwarenegger impression]
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: If you don't return the books, you cannot borrow more books! How can you borrow more books, if you don't return the books? Bodo!
[he puts the book in the bag, then looks around the floor for one of his shoes]
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: I may have lost my sandal, but I'll be back!
[he leaves, then cut to the assaulted patron ("Alfred Yeo") in his apartment, speaking directly to the camera]
ALFRED YEO: I don't understand why they have to be so high-handed about this, it's just a book! You know, I really cherish that book ... "The Mayor of Casterbridge!" Ever since I was forced to read it for my A levels!
[he starts to cry]
ALFRED YEO: Now they're just gonna take it away like that ... "Mayore of Casterbridge!"
[cut to Conan walking outside, carrying the bag over his shoulder]
JACQUES OOI: [in voice over] As a busy day draws to an end, Conan's bag of banded books weighs heavily on his shoulder. Just one more house to ransack.
[cut to Conan ("Conan Schwarzenegger Ismail, Book Recovery Collector") speaking directly to the camera]
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: People accuse me of being rough. People accuse me of being unsympathetic to their book fetishes ... but, do they spare a thought about me? Look at me! I have to walk around in this outrageous ridiculous outfit in the hot sun, eight am to six pm, every day! Cut me, do I not bleed? Poison me, do I not die? Rob me, do I not take revenge?
[he yells gibberish, then points off camera]
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: This next clown, huh? Julius Stan Cocaine ... You know, the last time, when the library sent him a reminder? He wrote back and said, "I don't live here anymore!"
[cut to Conan confronting a man with a book clutched to his chest]
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: Give me that book!
[he shakes his head]
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: Give me the book now!
[he grabs the book, but the man refuses to let go]
JULIUS STAN COCAINE: You can take my father, you can take my mother, but you cannot take my "Insider's Guide to Sydney and San Francisco!"
[they continue to struggle]
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: Let it go! Let it go now!
JULIUS STAN COCAINE: No!
CONAN SCHWARZENEGGER ISMAIL: I am growing tired of this ...
JULIUS STAN COCAINE: I'm very strong!
[cut back to the two news anchors speaking directly to the camera]
ROY TERSE: Time for a quick breather.
ADRIANNA WOW: The Noose will be back after these brain-washing messages. Stay tuned!

From wikipedia.org:

The Noose is a Singapore comedy TV series produced by MediaCorp Channel 5 which has aired in Singapore for six seasons, in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013. Although the name of the show plays on the word The News, the literal gallows humor of the program's name is unlikely to be missed by viewers in a country which executes people by hanging.

The Noose is a parody of local news programmes such as News 5 Tonight, with fictional news reports and a presentation mimicking that of the real news. For example, every episode of News 5 Tonight begins with a CGI clock indicating the time, while every episode of the first two seasons of The Noose would spoof it by displaying the time using something more mundane, such as a plastic clock hanging on a wall. At the beginning of every episode, there is a candid disclaimer (voiced by Alaric Tay) telling the viewer that the stories are not true. Each episode stars Michelle Chong, Chua En Lai, Alaric Tay and Suhaimi Yusof, with various actors and actresses as newscasters and interviewees, often with parodic mannerisms and names.

The show has received recognition both locally and internationally. It earned a nomination at the International Emmy Awards 2011 in the comedy category. The cast has also been nominated and won awards and commendations at the Asian Television Awards.
