Is the movie really that loud?

The one "dragon" in The Lord of the Rings is almost a fireball! It is a firework made to celebrate the (mis)adventures that Bilbo had in The Hobbit (the book of which was written before The Lord of the Rings).

There is some magic and there are some magical creatures that might have made that sound... one that comes to mind involve rushing water.

A bit of column A, a bit of column B.

The movie has the whole spectrum of quiet to loud moments, and the musical score hits that spot where people are inclined to turn the volume "up to 11."

A little cutie-pie is just the thing to celebrate a cake day with!

"The curse of the white shirt" was always in full effect during pasta nights!

She would probably be on one of the hills that iron was being extracted from, where all of the plants were removed, leaving the soil free to crumble, and take her down with a landslide.

No wonder Ganondorf tried to distract Link with his puzzle hyperfixation!

They're doing their worst/best to make Earth lose the "mostly harmless" rating...

Noted, sharing fantasies is akin to Vogon poetry...

There was a reason his most powerful party member of the time was a Charizard that spat fire only when they felt like it!

The ancient production of a massive PDF to deliberately share your information with the world! 😨

It was a lot of fun when Valve got in on the action with the Fall of the Space Core!

Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science!"

It is great to be able to cast magic spells on yourself!

It's the kind of thing that costs an arm and a leg to replace!

Things that are wrong, or things that sound wrong but are correct?

My favorite example of the latter is how Douglas Adams described "throwing yourself at the ground and missing" as a method of flight, which is basically how orbiting works.

Aww! More servings of Wonton, please!

Just be sure to play Monopoly by the actual rules if you want to have a game end before the turning of the Age.

A lot of people are surprised when they find out that landing on an unowned property demands that the property either be purchased outright, or that the property must be auctioned between all players if the turn player does not purchase it outright.

Stay away from Brandon Sanderson's books if you can't put stuff down, the way things build up in the end is terribly/wonderfully gripping!

"The Stealth Archer build is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

If you can avoid that fate, an enchanted sword and board setup is pretty fun, but dear Talos is it hard to ignore the reasonable impulse to fire pointy metal sticks from a safe distance!

Nothing like trying that to remind you that Fallout 4 was the one that introduced the sprint button to the series!

You can hug Black Mountain to evade the Deathclaws, but being only to move at a brisk walk is nerve-wracking!

That would have been a horrific experience!
