Hot Secretary by Filthyvermin

I should have clarified I meant like personal devices not people, feel like anyone could have guessed considering another human being a tool for writing wasn't going to play with me, but eh, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take and so on

Chalkboard by pwns

BLEH, they're dusty and the noises they make are miserable. Hate a chalkboard of any kind tbh.

Number 6

Spoiler:
Dictation software by Karmadope

Actually a pretty cool pick, sorry it lands so low. I love how dictation software has made writing more accessible for students with disabilities or learning challenges. I've seen quite a few students with ADHD and dyslexia use dictation software to really get into writing in a way they couldn't with standard typing or writing. Cons are old people yelling into their phones to make them type for them, and the plethora of grammatical errors that always inevitably need to be corrected when you dictate.

White board and dry erase markers by Nich

Whiteboards are awesome, the smell is their main flaw and accidentally erasing when you don't mean to. Great in a classroom, great in a brainstorming meeting, great for calendars on the household fridge etc.

Logitech ERGO K860 by d1

This keyboard looks dope. Logitech does a good job of making affordable, decent quality keyboards. Definitely ups your computer game to have a nice keyboard. Typing makes writing so fast and easy to edit


Number 3

Spoiler:
Montblanc Meisterstuck by bloobird

I'm sure this pen is amazing, and I LOVE a fountain pen, the only reason is is third is the price. It looks beautiful, I hope to hold one someday!

Blackwing 602 by Dr. Z

Blackwing makes deluxe pencils. I have one, but not the 602, I have one of the softer variations. These pencils are awesome, the erasers are pretty good and you can affordably replace them and prolong the life of the pencil. Cadillac of pencils is right, and they aren't that pricey for anyone who can keep track of their pencils!


Number 1

Spoiler:
Pilot G-2 07 in blue by Bolt

Until I discovered fountain pens, this pen in black was my absolute gold standard. It writes so smoothly, the ink is a rich color, the clip is nice, the grip is comfortable. Ah, there is not anything I don't like about the Pilot G-2. All around a fantastic writing experience. Top notch gel pen. Love pilot, love the G-2.

We live off these at work. Every wall in each meeting room is one. They are amazing.

Good for party games too

Is everybody here? Well, I'm going anyway!

Scoring for this was based on some combination of quotability, performance, rewatchability, entertainment value, and how well the speech plays independent of the movie/tv show.

I've never watched this show before, and I don't really know what is going on in this scene either. He's trying to talk them out of pressing a button that will destroy the world or something? Anyway, since I can't really follow it, and Peter Capaldi is getting dangerously close to overacting, this finishes in last place.

There is often a very fine line between great dialogue, and a writer just sniffing their own farts. I sometimes get that from Sorkin, and even Tarantino at times. Deadwood often falls into that category for me, too. I know a ton of people rave about how great the dialogue in this show is, but I watch this scene, and my main takeaway is, "this guy swears a lot".

Possibly slightly controversial putting this so low. Is it a good speech? Yes, but it's really no different or better than a bunch of closing arguments you could have chosen from a good courtroom drama. It's also not really something I have any interest in rewatching outside of the movie itself.

Blade Runner is one of those "classic" movies that just never really did anything for me. But I do like this scene, and it's certainly iconic. Unfortunately, it's way too short to be ranked any higher in this category.

Sidenote: I think I got Mandela'd here, because I could've sworn the line was "like tears in the rain".

I remember seeing this movie once and not really being into it, but this scene is pretty good, and I know the meme well obv. I also appreciate somebody going a bit outside the box and picking a comedic monologue for the category.

If I didn't know any better, I would say this is pandering! Trainspotting is one of my all-time favourite movies, and I even used to have a poster of this speech on my wall. This is the very first scene of the movie, and it perfectly sets the tone for what you're about to watch. Love it.

It takes a pretty special scene to completely overshadow a movie as good as Glengarry Glen Ross. The whole movie is great, but this speech is so powerful that it's probably the only thing most people remember from it. This likely would've won the category most times, unless the #1 monologue was picked...
