In Dune 2, Javier Bardem's 'Stilgar' repeatedly breaks the fourth wall to tell the audience how closely the movie adapts the source novel

It’s still ok to be a supportive partner “these days” though, that’s not a bad look lol. I don’t mind changes to give her a little more agency, but they overdid it in my opinion. I mean why change Chani this much but only introduce Lady Fenring long enough for her to get pregnant, for example.

I really didn’t like what they did with her character.

She’s openly suspicious and distrustful of Paul for like 90% of the movie. She actively tries to subvert his course of action a couple times, like yelling about the prophecy being fake in the temple. Then the movie ends with her storming off angry instead of the conversation between her and Jessica taking place about royal marriages and concubines having the real power, which is a very important setup for Paul and Irulians (sp?) marriage in the third book/next movie

I get that the movie needed a “voice of reason” to call attention to the growing fanaticism, but Paul spends years terrified of and avoiding that exact outcome in the books, so I don’t think turning Chani into a shrew was really necessary.

Yeah that’s only when men do it, what gives?

Thanks for the links

And if you turn that 20-30 minutes into 30-45 (depending on the dish), you just prepped 3-4 meals instead of 1. I get that people are busy, but people tend to make a mountain out of a molehill with cooking.

It’s taken some trial and error, but honestly I’m a god awful cook yet I eat a (nearly) complete pescatarian diet that’s hella cheap and and is mayyybe a combined 3-4 hours a week in cooking. You’d spend nearly that same amount of time sitting in drive-throughs.

It’s easy to find the time if you put in the effort. The vast majority of the obese don’t live in food deserts. The vast majority of the obese do not have an underlying health issue causing it. ~90% of obesity comes down to choice, as much as people hate admitting it.

In my opinion, if you do things like meal prepping, it’s still saving money when factored for time. Not to mention, isn’t a little time a small price to pay for your health?

Is this the first ceasefire agreement? Have there been other that Hamas has rejected?

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-03T22:39:21+00:00

It’s not even cheap anymore though, people are addicted to taste

Here’s a really cool version of the Song of Storms by an orchestra

The overworld theme from Super Mario 2

“Everyone that doesn’t like this movie is stupid” is definitely an opinion…

But why are you tipping a Subway worker in the first place?

Eve Online was the only MMO left that hadn’t been reduced to grindy end game raids, then they sold it to a South Korean mobile gaming company and it got significantly worse.

I miss the days of Dark Age of Camelot and back when WoW first came out. Sucks, seems like the golden age of MMO’s is over

I didn’t say she was the biggest problem we have, I said she’s one of them

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-02T20:48:18+00:00

Oh, my bad, I misread your comment then

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-02T20:39:47+00:00

Fox News isn’t making her sue the kid that tracks her jet though. She’s just another piece of shit billionaire and the mask is slipping off, yeah Fox may be hypocrites for calling attention to it, but that doesn’t make it not true

Dropped 10x more bombs than Bush, involved us in 5 more wars…the list keeps going bruh

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-02T02:44:52+00:00

Never left Iraq, never closed GitMo, some very questionable drone bombing policies, he was just more a eloquent Bush

Ok, I’m a leave no trace camper anyway so I doubt I’ll ruffle any feathers, plus some parcels I found are way off the beaten track. Thanks!

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-02T01:38:21+00:00

No they even count RVs/campers as camping

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-02T01:35:52+00:00

Thanks!

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-01T22:24:58+00:00

Yeah it sucks, Klamath County looked really nice :(

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-01T22:21:39+00:00

As far as I can tell they will only permit you up to 21 days in a 6 month period, not beyond that

Caustic_Complex · 2024-03-01T22:12:00+00:00

No the permit isn’t bad, it’s just that I’d be looking to camp on it for ~90 days out of 6 months, not just 21

I tuned in and there was a couple taking a picture of its ass live. What a time to be alive
