  1. Seems like a boring role for Isaac. I'd rather think he's the good doctor. Plus it would be interesting for Garfield to be the bride.
  2. So who will be the monster? Its got to be Mia Goth right?
  3. Watched the 65 movie. And it is certainly a movie. Is it good? No. Is it bad? Not really. Is it seemingly competent in direction and acting? Yes. Does it take any chances with anything whatsoever? No. Does it need to be set 65 million years in the past on Earth with dinosaurs(that look like Jurassic park dinos except mostly not recognizable ones)? Absolutely not. Could it have just been a plane crash movie in the Pacific northwest and substitute wolves and a bear for the dinos and literally nothing story wise would have to change? You betcha. My strongest though about it coming out of the movie was that it felt like Homeward Bound. Yes, the dogs going home movie.
  4. That's ridiculous. If he gets another concussion (which would be what 4-5 in one year?) the dude should be forced to retire for his own safety. Lamar gets hurt but not head injuries,
  5. Why? They had nothing to do with the Lord of the Rings and their Shadow of Mordor plot is significantly worse than anything Amazon has done.
  6. Interesting choice for the music to be a remix of the Sopranos theme.
  7. Just got back as well. I'm not processing it, I've seen it many times before. I have to admire the sheer balls of James Cameron copying Dances with Wolves not once but twice in the same series and passing it off as new. You do you Jimbo.
  8. Not going to lie that sounds like shitty local cinemas but of course that would be par for the course when DAD came out. The ones here the first three rows are all seats that recline so much that you are essentially laying down. Obviously not ideal still but shouldn't hurt your neck.
  9. I might be interested in buying it if it were called "Game of the Two Years Later"
  10. Out of curiosity is the Korean version a straight remake of the spanish one?
  11. Seemed excited yes. Was there any follow up on that from the show? Nope. We just get Margo sadly congratulating Sergei a few episodes later and then she is in Russia. I'm just trying to connect the dots. As for the connection to the bombing, I think none, merely cooincidence which is of course pretty ludicrous but also normal for a tv show.
  12. I quite liked the episode and actors and acting up until that end scene. There is literally no need for tying that in unless this show is supposed to be running through the Dunk and Egg stuff. Otherwise pretty pointless.
  13. She asked them to. Did they? I would guess not because you know.... why would they? Especially when they know shes a spy. She very obviously knew she was going to Russia in her phone call with Sergei in America.
  14. I thought it was fairly obvious Margo traded herself for Sergei plus family.
  15. Yeah hence they would be crossing the rockies at some point. If it is supposed to be ontario I may be out. Thats brutally stupid. Why not just make it a fantasy land if thats the case?
  16. They've actually said it's supposed to northern Ontario? If so thats the most unbelievable thing in a show that seemingly deals with the supernatural. They filmed in the rockies and guess what: tiny little mountains and hills in Ontario are not the fucking rockies. I had figured they were blown off course near Seattle into the canadian rockies.
  17. I love that the Vought Studios logo is essentially the same as the Marvel Studios one.
  18. Interesting, considering that for me Loki was very clearly trying to rip off Rick and Morty and not doing a particularly good job of it.
  19. The Rangers were hidden, Boromir certainly had no idea about Aragorn. They knew of them when Earnur was there but who is to say if they knew about them subsequently. Why would they keep track of homeless vagabonds from a backwater? Why would they not leave? Their home was destroyed, so was their enemy. Why not go serve in a kingdom far more powerful and glorious than theirs where at the very least they will be cousins to the throne? The army Earnur brought was a trifling thing to Gondor but was the greatest thing the men of Arthedain had seen in over a thousand years. If Aranarth hung out with Earnur he might even find out the dude wasn't big on making kiddos thus making Aranarth essentially an heir to Gondor if he wanted. So why not? There is no real answer except to guess like you. Maybe they seemingly felt they had a duty to the land, honestly that's pretty pathetic of a reason but hey whatever. The real reason is because Tolkien needed them to stay away and hidden so Aragorn can become King 1044 years later. I prefer to think of a guess where say Earnur was jealous and wouldn't take them. Then went home and said the royal family of Arthedain all died, so that they could never again present a claim to his family's throne.
  20. I'm of the opinion that Gondor (post loss of the palantir in the North and so zero communication) had no idea that any heirs of Elendil survived. From a logical perspective why would any survivors not come to Gondor with Earnur after the destruction of Arthedain?
  21. I honestly have no idea but to me it seems like they buried Bianca Belair due to the live Raw they did at a concert or some such a few weeks ago. The crowd was absolutely dead and were visibly looking elsewhere during her match. (That was not the case for other matches). She just wasn't getting a pop so get the belt on someone who can.
  22. The fact that you would try to personally insult me because I very obviously jokingly used words racist elves might have used to describe Elrond says more about you actually. And none of it good. Your second part is based on what exactly from the text? Because there are plenty of instances of elves being racists. Your stuff about Gildor is simple conjecture and so can be readily dismissed. I know exactly what Lindon was made from and you seem to be forgetting parts of its makeup specifically that there were two sides to it bot Sindar/Lindar, and Noldo. Not to mention you are not mentioning other places where its people come from. But hey that's you. If it doesn't serve your argument leave it out am I right? Another point on why give the High Kingship to Gil-galad rather than Elrond - Celebrimbor. Galadriel is no Queen (or even the lady of Lorien and has been ousted as leader of Eregion) but still is given a ring of power. Elrond not being King but as according to you being super powerful wise son of Earendil should get one too right? Nope. Gil-galad gets two. Celebrimbor obviously thought two people were significantly better than another. Why?
  23. I wasn't saying that as an actual quantifiable powers or what not but as to how Elves would have reacted. Elves are racists repeatedly in the legendarium, why would that change? Would the rank and file have accepted a mongrel half breed? Why shouldn't we? I mean he is named King of Hithlum (even though Hithlum is essentially destroyed) in the Silmarillion. But regardless let's go with the Orodreth version. He was there longer than Tuor and Idril. He was King of those people who then became the people of Lindon. You posed the question earlier to which I responded of why Gil-galad was chosen over Elrond as King of Lindon, not High King. Do not change the goalposts. As for High King, since it obviously wasn't Galadriel then it must be oldest male descendant of Finwë who isn't from the self-dispossessed house of Fëanor. Boom Gil-galad.
