It's been eight months since we were first introduced to B.Z. Caddington, the profiteer and PvP twink, in A Warsong Carol. Pinkhair has brought him back in silent movie-style as he tries to stop the alliance sneaking around his base.
This is a machinima that you'll have to pay special attention to. All of the dialogue is on text cards on the screen in order to give it that authentic feel. You can also expect custom models, little inside jokes here and there, excellent editing, and all-around evil. Now that's what I call a good time!

"Looks like you'll be catching the 3:10 to Stonetalon.... with you face!" - Totally made the movie for me.
The presentation of this machinima is really fantastic. The camera angles on and around the train give it just the right feel. I especially liked the the simple shot where the camera is set on the the ground and the train chugs on by, but the camera is in a wide angle mode or something, giving it a "Whoosh" factor.
If I had to gripe, it would be that it starts off slow. The beginning jokes while in the prison cell don't really compare to some of the later one liners; they seem a bit contrived. It rounds up nicely however, and was really fun to watch overall.

The reference to Mornington Crescent was the clincher for me .. particularly considering the recent departure of Geoffrey Perkins.

That was really awesome. but the beginning was a tad slow.

That was very well done. My only complaint is that it relied way too heavily on the dialogue cards. If you ever watch an actual silent movie, you'll see that the dialogue cards are pretty rare; the story is shown, not told. Especially at the beginning of this movie, it felt like there was a card every second, which really ruins the flow.
