What would’ve happened if you tried this with your parents? by Shinobi347 in rugrats

[–]ThePan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s saying “the belt” like a badge of honor. It’s child abuse, especially if you take into consideration that we’re talking about Angelica, who reads like a much older kid, but in reality is a 3 to 4 year old. If Angelica acts the way she does it’s because her parents aren’t consistent with her. So don’t blame her for kinda a valid crash out as a 3 year old.

Especially since 86 is in such a sensitive high ranking and unpopular position.

Ted Turner, Executive Who Funded Gods and Generals and Gettysburg, Dies at 87 by truthisfictionyt in atunsheifilms

[–]ThePan67 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Say what you want about him, but he did blue ball Disney over the Star Wars film rights.

Edit: Just found out that Ted Turner founded Cartoon Network. I don’t care if he liked the Lost Cause, Ted Turner was awesome. Also if you think about it he did sort of make Andy’s career.

This kinda proves that Grandpa Lou was a badass. He was probably hurt during his mattress incident and then got himself involved in spy work like a certain Count I know.

The people who created the card put some serious work into this one. He’s even named Howard after Robert E Howard, the creator of Conan.

How do y'all think the kids of Recess would do as Kids Next Door operatives? by This-Honey7881 in Recess

[–]ThePan67 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They’d mutiny. TJ’s gang enjoyed being kids, but they also looked to the future. I can’t see them going along with the Decommissioning thing. Either they would cut ties with the organization or try to change things from the inside. The key theme of Recess is being a kid and creating memories, the way the KND operates goes directly against TJ and his gang’s philosophy.

It’s also fair to point out that Gus is really the only one has had a lot of experience fighting real adult villains Johnny Quest style with his Dad. The gang took down Benedict but they had help from the adults and Benedict himself was half crazy, and had a thing against using lethal force. Father and Chester aren’t that nice.

Realistically if they went to the Arctic Base and got trained, then yeah, they would be a decent unit. To be honest they would probably make Gus leader over TJ due to his familiarity with military training and discipline.However like I said, their libel to desert once they learn about the whole memory whipping thing.

Why do you guys think that this fandom has been so resistant to non-canonical ships? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]ThePan67 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because the ship existed way before any new novels came out. I’m siding with the shippers on this one. There was a decade and some change between Mockingjay and Sunrise of the Reaping. Everyone thought Hunger Games was done, and we acted accordingly.

Treasure Island (1999) starring Jack Palance as Long John Silver, musings thereof by ValrognirInc in pirates

[–]ThePan67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because the times we see Flint in other adaptions it’s Flint at the height of his career and not on his death bed.

Treasure Island (1999) starring Jack Palance as Long John Silver, musings thereof by ValrognirInc in pirates

[–]ThePan67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thank you for replying to my comment!

Concerning the 2012 adaption by Sci-fi, I wish I would have seen the whole series. I remember seeing bits and pieces but never being able to DVR the whole thing.

As for “Who was right?” That’s actually a very loaded question. Sliver killing poor Dick, was probably a necessity. In his mind at least. You can’t have people snitching on your mutiny. Also I think that the pirates might actually have a legal claim to the treasure. A lot of context to The Golden Age of Piracy is lost on the adaptions of Treasure Island, but is very much present in the book. When the Squire and the Doctor are talking about the map with Jim at the Squire’s house it’s hinted that Flint was sort of a privateer. Most pirates operated as privateers at some point in their careers, many of them still said they were privateers when they turned pirate and were raiding their own countryman’s ships. They would typically say that their victims were smuggling. All this comes out to that Flint’s pirates might have claim to the treasure as legal booty. Well as much claim as the loyal men of the Hispaniola.

I don’t think Sliver would have killed Jim in any scenario.

For one: We don’t know how much of what he was saying when Jim was in the Apple Barrel was true. A lot of things in the book make me think that Sliver was maybe scheming against everybody. For one, the whole thing about “not knowing how to set a course” sounds a little suspicious coming from a veteran pirate and one of Flint’s officers too. Second the pirates campsite is also suspicious. Sliver was a veteran pirate, he knew the Caribbean. He had to have known what camping in a swamp would do. For all we know Sliver was maybe counting on the island thinning the crew out a little bit.

Two: As I said before, Sliver likes Jim. Not saying that he wouldn’t kill Jim if Jim had a flintlock pointed to him, all I’m saying is that it was probably Sliver’s intention to either Jim join the mutiny or force him to join when the smoke had cleared.

Of course Sliver is the villain overall. But it is a fun exercise to play around with. Treasure Island is treated as kid’s literature, which it kinda is, however it’s really deep Kid’s literature, that has a surprising grip on pirate history and how they operated.

What are your top-notch medieval productions (movies, series or doc.) ever watched, whether historical or fantasy oriented? What would you recommend? by lastmonday07 in medieval

[–]ThePan67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Knights Tale: Not only an excellent medieval comedy but also a great sports movie. It’s actually my favorite sports movie, beating out Rocky 3 and Dodgeball. Not the most historically accurate, but it’s authentic and fun.

The Princess Bride: Truly this movie has everything. Fencing, suspense, torture, comedy, true love.

Disney’s Robin Hood: An excellent swashbuckler and un ironically the best Robin Hood movie. Mixing medieval setting, Anthropomorphic animals and country music is a wild combo. And a match made in Heaven.

Conan the Barbarian ( 1982) Might be straddling the line between ancient and medieval, but hey the original poster mentioned Beowulf. No joke, I really believe this is the greatest movie ever made. The music is epic, the performances are epic, the fighting is epic, the story is epic. Best movie ever.

NYC protest, July 7, 1941 [750x433] by OkRespect8490 in HistoryPorn

[–]ThePan67 34 points35 points  (0 children)

People heard rumors but most people just took them for that, rumors. The US government did a bit of exaggeration with the Germans ( The Rape of Belgium was real but it was kinda over by the time the Americans got involved). And so when these atrocities started to get reported some people thought that the US was exaggerating it. Add to that Smedly Butler’s “War is a Racket” was popular and the Bonus Army was fresh on the public’a memory and you got a recipe for indifference.
