John Cleese, right? Nope, never seen that.

Point is, Otto's armpit sniffing action just before he gets going...I'm ripping that off for the guy on my crew who suffers severe testosterone poisoning.

Why is it that so few of you have seen the film? It's a classic example of how to pull off a proper comedic heist or caper film. The cast is astoundingly funny and the writing is sharp enough to cut yourself on!

Ah, so you're riffing on Kevin Kline's character from the film then, excellent!

@Thiri: Ah find mahself something of an anti-afficionado of films. (Ah don't really like to watch films that much.)

-cheese pyramid'd-

I watch movies!

I don't like heist movies.

I only like heist movies if they're comedies, like Wanda.

That's fair Freeman. You still might enjoy it for the madcap comedy, though.

I don't watch heists film too often as I'm more of fan of film noir than anything else, but there are a couple of pretty entertaining heist films.

Greetings everyone, how go things?

Hey Dark, they go. Not too much going on at the moment.

Just discussing heist movies now, I think. Nothing much.

What's the haps with you?

If the mane six starred in a heist movie, what would it be about? And what would everyone's roles be?

Well, it's fic writing time.

Yay.

We could call it Sparkle's Six.

Their heist: to steal a powerful artifact before it can be sold on the black market. They officially aren't supposed to be there, so there is gonna be hijinks as Twi desperately tries to make sure Celestia doesn't (and never) find(s) out.

The Eo H are stolen by a monarch from another nation for allegedly nefarious purposes during meetings to discuss some sort of treaty. Since any direct action on the part of Celestia or her entourage could lead to a diplomatic incident, the mane six spring into action. Twi would be the one to formulate the plan, Rarity would help them charm their way past security, Fluttershy would be responsible for having her animal friends monitor the whole situation while the heist is taken place and also utilise them for various distractions. As for the others, Dashie would be our wheel man, AJ the muscle, and Pinkie would be .. Well, Pinkie. In the end, it'll turn out that they were actually stolen by the vizier of the visiting monarch or some such thing.

Pinkie sets the traps and runs the distractions by being herself.

And then at the climax Dashie has to haul tail like Daring Do while Twi uses magic to slow down the guards as they make their escape, only to discover the Dangerously Genre Savvy villain put a mere replica as a decoy in the vault. And then Pinkie pulls her Party Ninja mojo and pickpockets it from the guy while annoying him with some party antics.

I have a need for this now.

/sighs/

Looks like I'll have to write it myself.

As long as you call it Sparkle's Six.

Trying and failing to start one of the numerous fanfic outlines I have. Starting to wonder if I'll ever get started.

And did somepony say Crush40? There's nothing that can't be improved with Sonic music.

I was doing alright today then the witch showed up

That's the end of my Sunday.

Throw some water on her. Worked for Dorothy.
