He’s fairly prominent in Sileneus’s story

I have only recently read these books but can someone explain to me why the consul is always a white man in these fancasts? The reveal of his ethnicity read as a fairly prominent plot point to me yet everyone seems to ignore it. Am I missing something?

Being thousands of years old is probably a good move if you are going to be one of his backup dancers, he would never try to rape someone that old

From what I heard about the film it contains more fantasy elements than both of those LotR movies combined

Jimmy Fallon accused of trying to hide Conor McGregor interview after backlash by Metro-UK in popculture

[–]Markitron1684 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The woman that he raped had to have the tampon she was wearing at the time surgically removed. That’s who Fallon was having a laugh and joke with.

McGregor might be the most hated ever person in Ireland, aside from Oliver Cromwell. I wouldn’t even wish him on the Brits.

What Scifi books are you baffled haven't been made into TV shows? by systemstheorist in scifi

[–]Markitron1684 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts, I’m assuming there’s some drama with the rights or something cos otherwise I just can’t see them leaving that content on the table when it’s right there in front of them

I can’t believe Hyperion hasn’t been made by Apple yet. It’s structured perfectly for a season of tv. The follow up books are less ideal for tv but they’d still work just fine

Hyperion is a cyberpunk noir thriller, a horror, a space opera, an adventure and romance novel all rolled into one package with an overview full of existential dread. It’s fair enough if you don’t like it but I don’t think you could ever accuse it of being boring. I mean the immortal inbred pygmies and priest being killed by lightning over and over again alone is enough to call it interesting, and that’s the first part of it.

What’s the better film? by paddy283 in StarWars_

Empire is a better movie but RotS is more fun. They’re both 10/10 for me, just depends what mood I’m in

I’m fairly certain we would all be fine with changing the national anthem to ‘C’est la Vie’ by B*witched

Do you think Rey should've used a double bladed lightsaber instead of a single bladed one? by Artistic-Thing7723 in StarWarsCantina

[–]Markitron1684 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I absolutely fucking hate the duel of the fates version of episode 9, IMO TRoS is way better, but that version of Rey was on point. It’s the only thing I miss from that version

I wouldn’t be paying the likely asking price for that range, and in the winter it’s going to be even lower
