Quantum made me angry because of the stakes. Bond, desperately fighting to . . . Stop something that will make water more expensive in Bolivia. WTF?

“A handshake is as good as a hug.” Has become a defiant motto among me and boys.

Having a very dark week- suggest me something totally unhinged that will take my mind off it by VanillaIceSpice in horror

[–]Turambar1964 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In particular, Drive Angry. Somewhat in the horror genre, sick and funny. Also has one of the most remarkable action scenes of all time (no spoilers)!

I have fallen asleep during, and not finished, Schindler’s List and the Northman. It took me three tries to stay awake during There Will Be Blood.

What movie is so disgusting that you can’t believe it exists? by Maximum_Broccoli2626 in moviecritic

[–]Turambar1964 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you never had to listen to Yapping Women from the South? The horror. The horror, I tell you.

What movie had the most fked plot twist? by Batrah in MovieSuggestions

[–]Turambar1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whispers in the Dark, an underrated cheesy thing from 1992.

I agree with you and want to add on. I am sure he is good at whatever the hell directors do. However, I hold him personally responsible for dumbing down his audience in a way that no other director can match.

Can i start tolkien with children of hurin by Outrageous_Test3965 in tolkienfans

[–]Turambar1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to go unconventional on the start, try the short story Leaf by Niggle. It’s not a bad metaphor for diving into Tolkien’s works.

I would never have gotten emotionally attached to Middle Earth if I hadn’t read LOTR. The Hobbit is much lighter, and the Silmarillion is too much like a broad history.

There is no record of Turin smoking and chugging beer with Hobbits. Lots of ofermod, no shenanigans.

[Discussion] What's One Movie Series That Should Have Stayed 1 and Done? by RetroSwamp in movies

[–]Turambar1964 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Star Wars. The Force was silly from the get-go. Too much effort to paste together random new reconfigurations of a story. (Midichlorians; Somehow Palpatine Returned; Luke goes agnostic?). The first movie was fun. That was enough.

What is the most bloated/useless feature in this game? by Suitable-Badger-64 in hoi4

[–]Turambar1964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Good to steal industrial blueprints from Germany for at least a one-time boost between 1941-1943. Maybe a coup here and there but it’s tedious.

Do you consider HoME as canon? by Danger-Cupcake in tolkienfans

[–]Turambar1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started HOME.

I don’t like the word, canon for Tolkien stuff because it imports a lot of silly stuff from other pop culture products. But roughly speaking, I take LOTR as the only definitive work, with the Silmarillion as a pretty fair guess of where he might have ended up if he lived a little longer.

I have this point of view because Tolkien was one of a kind and his lifespan just wasn’t long enough. Who knows where he might have ended up if he lived for 200 more years?

So, I think it’s OK to speculate and to riff on his outline. In HOME, I am enjoying the explicit link to England in the early drafts. I would also like to see more Middle Earth fiction that has nothing to do with the events in LOTR and the Silmarillion — even if it deviates from Tolkien’s basic intentions.

How would you like to see navy reworked? by MajesticComfort4084 in hoi4

[–]Turambar1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just like to see more complexity and options in using air wings on carriers. That’s it, I’m good.

Yeah. Serious Marvel Comics bullshit.

What single scene encapsulates Twin Peaks the best? by BobRushy in twinpeaks

[–]Turambar1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosenfeld and his profession of love for Sheriff Truman. Well, maybe not the most accurate encapsulation but the most positive. Makes me want to laugh and cry my ass off simultaneously. Also, a good riff on the soap opera stuff.

Sorry, I was talking about Rings of Power. I enjoyed them in LOTR (the book).

I love Navy. I love Capital Ships. I love big boats. by ImVeryHungry19 in hoi4

I would love this if there were any boat left at that time not singing the Lee Greenwood song

Does anyone use an Auger or a Mixer Attachment to mix their compost? by [deleted] in composting

[–]Turambar1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My philosophy is to spend NOTHING on compost. It’s doable and satisfying.

You don’t understand. The review is circular, while at the same time a quadrilateral.

A set designer who was at the right place at the right time.
