This edition of great monologues comes from possibly the greatest television series of the ’90s: The X-Files. Known as the Cigarette Smoking Man, this character was responsible for everything from the JFK assassination to covering up an imminent alien invasion. Needless to say, such experience brings with it a hearty helping of wisdom with a thick, creamy cynical swirl. So tune in and turn up as this dark mystery man gives us his take on life as a box of chocolates, a la Forest Gump – minus the simplicity plus a heap of despair.
Great Monologues – Part I
In my ever-expanding effort to raise the level of culture and refinement in America, I’ve decided to start pointing to great monologues of our age. A “Masterpiece Theatre” of sorts, if you will.
Here is Vin Diesel at his finest, delivering a poignant diatribe on the ethics of street racing, in a movie that defined our youth. Every kid wanted a twin turbo Supra – or at least a Momo steering wheel on their Civic.
As if that weren’t enough, start getting the NOS, rice rockets, asian chicks, and cheesy lines ready for next summer:
Fast and Furious (rather than come up with a new title, they just dropped the article “the.” Awesome.)
