You mean Thunder in Paradise but with Rock and John Cena

Floppy dicks are ancient tech. It’s all about streaming now.   :D

“A group of thieves using high-powered speedboats to rob superyachts steal the wrong thing from the wrong group of people.”

I’m sure if Alexandra Daddario had been in TLA instead, it would have at least flipped.

It inspired me to order hot tea, but they only had iced.

Yes, they’re based on the Grimm’s Fairy Tales. They’re mythical beings, similar to the dwarfs in Tolkein’s stories. They’re miners—it’s a mine, not a cave.

I don’t think there is any actual evidence that dwarfs or pixies for example were inspired by people with genetic conditions. The reality is that believing in spirits is probably as old as humanity, and believing that small spirits of various types live in the trees, mountains, or under the ground in tunnels and caves

From experience I will tell you that the best people to party with at the pub are a bunch of British anarcho-communists.  

I always thought they were supposed to be dwarves, as-in, the fictional race of miners who work and sometimes live underground, have a masterful understanding of stone and precious gems, and are known for being industrious.

Are the dwarfs supposed to be humans with dwarfism or are they their own separate species like other fantasy works though? 

I love that the song came from a very pure place in spite of the commercial aims.

Music nerds like me assumed it was some working class anthem, or a commentary on how the powers that be use alcohol to keep people down. Nope. The members of Chumbawumba just liked drinking and football, so they decided to write a song

“Afterwards, she still sees that Anakin is a good guy at heart.”

If you’ve seen Clone Wars, you’ll know that generally Anakin is still good, but war changes people.

Military personnel and contractors getting killed in a war at a military base isn’t remotely the same as “I was upset so I intentionally killed a bunch of children.”

I mean, Anakin’s arc ends with his son recognizing he’s still a good guy after he GENOCIDES HIS SISTER’S ENTIRE PLANET. Star Wars movies are completely ethically fucked. The further they move away from the central ‘heroic’ dynasty, the better the property gets (TLJ, for example).

“Your father wanted you to have this when you were older, but your uncle wouldn’t allow it, probably because it was a murder weapon used to slaughter twenty small children. Or was it thirty? I could never keep track of the little blighters, that wasn’t my department. Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh yes.”

Afterwards, she still sees that Anakin is a good guy at heart.

If the prequels taught us anything, it’s that Padme is a terrible judge of character.

Sort of hoping he ends up flying some horrific kit-bashed “uglies” type of monstrosity that hurts your eyes and everyone is like “Dank farrik what are you flying?!” Like a B wing with tie fighter bits nailed to it and an AT-AT cockpit at one end.

The kitchen chef scene was humorous, but I was surprised they offed him by having his figurative throat slit from behind.  That seemed...an interesting choice for death on a Disney show.
