  1. I see you have the same youtube feed as me.
  2. Don't tell me, tell our criminal justice system.
  3. Dune: The Second Half. Villenueve knows how to shoot a beautiful film, wish I could have seen it in IMAX. Pretty faithful to the book, though it cuts away some arguably unnecessary parts in a way that probably improves the movie. Looking forward to the Third Half.
  4. Anything to make kickoffs more interesting, after however many seasons of kickers just routinely drilling the kickoff past the end zone.
  5. It's a great place to celebrate Defenestration Day, too!
  6. Yeah I was reading about that yesterday, that's a pretty wild change if it gets voted in.
  7. Gandalf also turns pinecones into fireballs against the Wargs, and at one point drives off a Nazgul with a frap ray. Aragorn might have bought off his hesitant-to-take-the-throne psych lim. Legolas in the books is arguably more badass than Gandalf so there's not much room for improvement, though I suppose he and Gimli bought off their hatred for each other's races. Or at least replaced the psych lim with DNPCs of each other. Frodo arguably lost points, picking up physical complications from being stabbed with a Morgul-blade and having a finger nibbled off. But not as many points as Boromir.
  8. We stood outside a house, trying to figure out where the wasps were coming from. As we talked, a wasp landed on the wall in front of us, and crawled up under a sheet of plastic that had been nailed to the wall to keep the rain out. I squished it through the plastic using a weird metal implement I held in my hand, like a door handle. When I did that it moved the plastic closer to the wall and I saw a couple more wasps under the plastic further up, so I squished those too. That revealed a dark spot under the plastic, which was the wasp nest. It was the size of a basketball. I could see the blurry blobs of hundreds of wasps under the plastic starting to move around, so I frantically started running my implement back and forth over the plastic to squish them all, and the nest.
  9. I could see needing a week or so to recover from that concert.
  10. Second grader tries to organize classmates to adopt a horse as class pet. (Longish tiktok video but you have to watch till the end.)
  11. Asbestos would have caused lung cancer though and it doesn't sound like either of them have that.
  12. Would he be a royalist or a colonial? Regardless I don't know how hairy Doc Democracy is.
  13. It's okay, I have a balloon I can rub on him.
  14. It kind of is. But seriously I have only respect for someone who took that job in the full knowledge of what it did to her MIL, and has handled it pretty damn well overall. Not bad for a non-inbred I mean, commoner.
  15. Sucks, I like her way better than any of the other royals.
  16. Seven Mountains is explicitly about "Christian" takeover of government (among other things) for the express purpose of imposing "Christian" values on American society. So, no.
  17. Agreed. Of the deleted scenes, only the one about Ripley's daughter improved on the theatrical release, IMO. But sentry guns. I saw this film five times in the theater the year it came out. It's still exceptional for its lack of plot holes.
  18. Okay, does this theatrical cut have the scene about Ripley's daughter? The sentry guns? Hudson's dropship speech? Newt's parents finding the derelict spacecraft? Excellent taste in films, by the way.
  19. Coulda used a couple more picks, but anyway... Title: Malice in Wonderland
