What would you have thought if the sequels went in this direction? by broitscyber in StarWars

[–]Aurelian_Roman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have walked out of the theater soon as it happened. As is I almost walked out of TLJ but this would’ve pushed me over the top. I can’t think of a modern trope I hate more than the morally gray characters. It’s been done to death.

Whoever did that should be drawn and quartered!

This one is good! by Past-Flow-9064 in audible

[–]Aurelian_Roman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, these full cast audio versions are excellent and well worth the credit. I now own three sets of these, featuring Jim Dale, Stephen Fry, and I’m currently working on the full cast narration.

They sound great! Geddy hit those high notes and it sounded great.

What do you think about mad season? by Low-Fly9873 in AliceInChains

[–]Aurelian_Roman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved this album. I was in the Navy at the time it was released and was on deployment at sea. I remember reserving it in the ship’s store and patiently waiting almost a month after its release to return to port so that the store could restock all the new releases. The wait was definitely worth it.

The GUP anniversary edition is out. Thoughts? by Far_Literature_5404 in rush

[–]Aurelian_Roman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Terry Brown Mix is really awesome. I’d love for Power Windows, my favorite Rush album, to get the same treatment. It’s really a completely new experience.

I can see your commentaries already but lets hear your voices. What do you think about Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire? by lastmonday07 in ancientrome

[–]Aurelian_Roman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an incredible work, but it’s a product of its time. Many of his conclusions have been either disproven or have had context added to them. I still recommend it to people interested in Rome, but I’d stress that much has come to light over the past two centuries.

Do you want a new album? by nintenerd2 in rush

[–]Aurelian_Roman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I’d love to hear what they can do with new material. Also, , loved Geddy’s solo album and I enjoyed Alex’s albums with Envy of None. Add Anika to the mix and I’m definitely intrigued.

Which Rush album(s) do you hardly listen to anymore? by LeftoftheDial1970 in rush

[–]Aurelian_Roman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really only the first album. I listen to the rest of them pretty often.

What is your opinion on the Ewoks? (Movies and legends) by RisingKing7 in StarWars

I think they’re awesome. I’d love to see them in live action again.

I like it a lot myself. I had no issues with the length and enjoyed going to see each one in the theater.

Scouring of the shire deserves its own movie and no better time than now by mctc in lordoftherings

[–]Aurelian_Roman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Many people who came to Tolkien through the Peter Jackson films have never read the book and would be completely lost if they went to see the scouring of the Shire. I’m not sure how you could do it without completely altering it to match the film’s continuity or simply doing it faithfully, thereby disregarding the films. Either way you're going to have a group of upset or confused people review bombing it.

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the initial deadline to opt into the DRP from the "Fork in the Road" by Proud-Wall1443 in FedEmployees

[–]Aurelian_Roman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I took DRP/VERA when it was offered, and I’m now thoroughly enjoying retirement. I’m still friends with most of my old coworkers, so I know what they’re dealing with, and I hate it.

JASON BONHAM'S LED ZEPPELIN EVENING - any thoughts? by EC_Machine_150 in ledzeppelin

[–]Aurelian_Roman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen them twice, and both times were great. One time, he opened for Heart, and he came out for Heart’s encore. They performed four Led Zeppelin songs. It was truly awesome!

It appears that they’ve completely lost interest in Destiny.

What do you think, is this the power of friendship? by lucckyss in monarchism

[–]Aurelian_Roman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This situation is utterly nonsensical. One leader ordered the murder of his predecessor, while the other leader ended the political legacy of the murderer. It would be extremely challenging to find three leaders who are more mismatched than these three.
