Good question. I am pretty centralist. Wasn’t an Obama fan, but not for a stereotypical reactionary/borderline racist like a lot of the voices were. Those same voices STILL bitch about him. <sigh>. And, to be fair, the other side’s voices bitched about Bush years after the fact.

I came in to shout BREAKING AWAY AND DINER and it was covered two comments in. Honorable mention: the slightly kooky artist or musician (I forget which) in Hannah and her Sisters.

Yeah...I am wondering if Amazon would be better served violating the terms of the deal with Tolkien’s estate and just pay the penalty along with writing-off the mistake of paying 250 Million (which is nuts) for rights.

It’s how I was taught to type too, and by some people’s (wrong) definition I’m a millennial.

How about an Office/Community/etc style mocumentary on Shire drama?

But it looks like you learned a new trick, old dog!

Right? Are the kids so concerned about digital paper that they can’t type the right way any more?

These whippersnappers and their variable width fonts. They don’t know how good they have it!

It’s also an attraction to get people to sign up with Prime in the first place, or keep people who are on the fence from leaving.

I don’t mean interesting to watch but an unexpected turn for the Lord of the Rings series, to leave behind its old mindset.

“I think he would work fine in a group because his main problem is that he is an extremely lazy actor with a great voice but a shallow bucket of charisma.” 

The one video I’ve seen of Diesel actually playing D&D was his Last Witch Hunter special with some of the Critical Role cast.

The Silmarillion had many fragments of unfinished Tolkien stories and lore. If they have access to that it might be good.

I love both of you for getting all over this.

Never played the game, but I loved the first few books. Kind of fallen behind with the character, but I have fond memories.

I’m not so sure. I do think it’s an inferior medium to do big-budget effects productions compared to film, but getting one equivalent to Game of Thrones would pay for a lot of genre failures (it supposedly generates more than a billion dollars a year alone for HBO).

Oof, I saw that Witchhunter movie and I just couldn’t handle it. It had a cool premise and some of the sets and concepts in it were great, but what I couldn’t take was Vin Diesel’s performance. I couldn’t handle him playing a period character, it was almost unwatchable. I tend to enjoy his movies, but he was not good…

I think a D&D movie adapted from either the Icewind Dale or Dragonlance Chronicles could be good.

it does seem odd that a site that has traditionally worn its nerd heart on its sleeve has decided to back the jock over the nerd in this equation.

Depends on how Rampage does. I’m willing to bet it makes a lot more than Tomb Raider.
