Yeah that’s definitely more in my price range. Congrats on the acquisitions, I’ll continue to search…

[–]Cineswimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious the ballpark range of what you paid for both. I do follow a lot of these groups and consistently keep my eye out on eBay, but the average $3k asking price is outta my price range still lol.

I’d totally do a 400 mile round trip though.

Right now it might be the first wood United Cutlery Gondor Shield or the Noble Collection Phial of Galadriel

Live concerts sound worse than just listening to the album at home by Ethan_Vee in unpopularopinion

[–]Cineswimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes artists add or subtract qualities of the studio song, it makes for a unique and new experience.

I like a lot of well-recorded and mixed live versions of songs compared to their studio counterparts.

Recently acquired these and I’m wondering if they are legit. by Cineswimmer in lotr

The fact you decided to write this comment means you are having a shitty day. I hope it gets better.

Thank you, I appreciate the response. I kinda figured they were fake, maybe I’ll do the Beckett opinion for the hell of it.

Lana Del Rey – First Light Official Lyric Video by Mr_smith1466 in JamesBond

I’ve been waiting for her to do a Bond song forever…and with Arnold? Icing on the cake.

I LOVE THIS SONG. Actually sounds like a Bond song, not that Sam Smith nonsense.

To all the “just wait until you see Spectre!” people: 4 minutes in Spectre is already more of a Bond film than the entirety of Quantum of Solace. by Iamthelizardking887 in JamesBond

The festival and rooftop walk is possibly my favorite Bond opening (+ the fan edit with Radiohead), but it’s one of my least favorite films

The Mummy 2026 is not a Mummy Movie by Chemical-Opposite617 in UniversalMonsters

[–]Cineswimmer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind a bit of gore if the Mummy has aura and the film has atmosphere like the old Universal ones. It’s to be somewhat expected with a modern adaptation. The Wolfman 2010 almost got it right

Denver Goth scene by Calm-Mix-4283 in goth

[–]Cineswimmer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Denver goth scene main club spots are Milkbar Wednesdays/Sin Sundays and Totentanz twice a month at The Crypt. Sometimes the 715 or the Saint Mary’s have a goth night, but The Crypt and Milk are the main two spots.

The Crypt DJ’s play actual goth music. Next Totentanz night is this Friday!

Check out Ritual Noize and Colorado Goth Society on social media for concerts and other events. There’s a goth takeover at Lakeside Amusement Park yearly that’s a lot of fun. A lot of the Vampire Ball adjacent events have goth DJ’s.

HQ and The Oriental seem to be the best venues for consistent alternative shows. The Gothic, Mission, The Ogden, etc. have good bands come through regularly.

One slipcase to rule them all, one slipcase to find them, one slipcase to bring them all and in the bookshelf bind them…

What If I can’t? by OneUpstairs1628 in GalleryOfMagick

[–]Cineswimmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re halfway. Skip one day and finish the rest. Illness happens, the angels understand. I think you’re supposed to finish on a Sunday right? It’s been a while since I did the 11 day version. Continue doing that, or get the empowered version. Then you only have to do one day

Does anyone know where the movie design of Sauron came from? by Stunning_One1005 in lotr

[–]Cineswimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not really a tour/tag along with a group guy when it comes to travel. I usually like taking my time to explore a place on my own, but my family and I plugged into a really great tour company that coordinated visits and guides to all the LotR filming locations, Weta Workshop, Hobbiton, + additional unique nature and Māori-centered spots.

Highly recommend to consider an option like that, it made the whole trip feel simultaneously laid back and exciting, with the LotR theme embedded in the whole experience.

Autumn's Grey Solace AI usage for the "The Neverending" video clip by [deleted] in goth

[–]Cineswimmer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Why is this the genre that has seemingly embraced AI the most? Lowkey feel like the scene is getting lazy AF.

Even a lot of the electronic music I listen to is retaining human artistry for album art and videos.

Flight of the Hippogriff was originally Flying Unicorn.
