Man named Arthur Dent meets a woman at a party who he's attracted but who ends up ditching Arthur at a party for an alien later met by Arthur when he barely escapes the planet's destruction with another alien who happens to be a writer for an encyclopedic omnibus called "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and, after escaping the Vogon (who are a race of bureaucratic, horrible-poet aliens who wouldn't save their mothers from a ravenous beast without forms signed in triplicate) Ship end up being saved again by the aforementioned alien named Zaphod Beeblebrox who also happens to be the president of the galaxy and who has also just stolen an improbability drive-driven ship because nothing in the universe is impossible but highly improbable so that he [Zaphod] can acquire the question to "life, the universe, and everything" which happens to have an answer of 42 because an answer without a question is pointless and, while on this whirl-wind adventure ends up trading one of his two heads for coordinates to this planet which manufactures planets, like earth, and is manned by the alien Slartybartfest (or something like that) who shows them the corporation's different planet designs and explains that the Earth was manufactured and can be made again while it turns out that mice have been running the show and need Arthur in order to finish a billion year question-seeking cycle in order to figure out the question to the answer of "42," and all of this comes to some kind of crazy conclusion when Marvin (I think) ends up shooting the entire Vogon army with a woman-commissioned gun which makes others see things from the shooter's point of which, because Marvin is absolutely depressed, depresses the entire Vogon army into submission which allows the last Earthlings consisting of Arthur Dent and the woman at the party to rebuild their planet which essentially negates all of the previous actions but allows Arthur to undergo a character reformation and become stronger.ravens_nest said:
Okay, so maybe it's not a grammatically correct single sentence... actually, I'm pretty sure it is. However, I think that it is more than one independent clause which is essentially what you were calling a sentence. However, there are an ass-ton of dependent clauses (relative, adverb, etc) in addition to tons and tons of other phrases such as participial. If you really wanted to stop someone who knows too much about English structure for his/her own good, you ought to have specified that he/she use only one independent clause (which would exclude compound and complex (sentences with dependent clauses) structures. I'm pretty sure that the subject in that sentence is Man and the verb is meets and rest (though there may be one other independent clause, oops) is just predicate (stuff that follows the subject if I remember correctly).
Yes, I do have too much time on my hands apparently. But it's also good grammar practice so yay for studying English on forums.
I must have been one of the few people to actually understand it first time round... But yes I'm suprised as well, the film is essentially one massive WTF after another... It's also one of my favourite films of all time now...dommyuk said:
See I tried that already; what's the plot of this film? 42... Doesn't work see hehehe.Jamienra said:
Kudos for taking the time to write all that... Despite knowing all of that anyway and that you would never find a human capable of saying that as a sentence, I still congratulate you...AquaAscension said:
Please help yourself...
... What brothers? I'm pretty sure one of us is confused because I don't remember any of the characters in The Departed being related to one another - methinks you're thinking of a different film entirely. The one I'm talking about is the 2006 Scorsese crime drama.Guy32 said:
*sigh*This again. Alright, what didn't you understand? It wasn't presented in the best possible ways, but the story is coherent, I assure you.ElephantGuts said:
A book called "Frozen Fire". Nice ideas and a good plot at first, but it was badly orchestrated and ended up just rambling randomly on, before coming to the stunning conclusion that was that nothing had changed at all.
Just brilliant. It didn't even explain why half the things that happened did.

yeah...Family Guy...probably the most inchoherant, unfunny show i have ever had the displeasure of watching but hell, this shit is like twilight anymore, you cant leave your goddamn house without having someone be like OMG I LUV FAMILY GUY LULZ GIGGITY GIGGITY! and it's fucking annoying, anything that happens in that show is compleatly fucking random and no matter what happens it has no goddamn effect whatsoever on what happens in later episodes, it is just just a clusterfuck of ideas thrown together by a couple of semi-retarded 12 yr olds with bad mouths and dirty minds for their age
Terrible ending... HOW VERY DARE YOU! (Although I do agree about the first 4 chapters being one long WTF moment.)RossyB said:

Well...not the first book, but the end of the series. Three massive books for the story to end in a handful of pages. If you look up Deus Ex Machina in the dictionary, you see the Nights Dawn trilogy. They still are the most awesome sci-fi books I have read though, ending asidemattman106 said:
the Rockey horror picture show. it makes relative sense till the end then it just completely breaks the fourth wall.
I read the first Twilight book before the satanic fangirls orgasmed at it's name. It made no sense to me, maybe because I lost interest after page twelve.
