Just did. I found the colony design of Neo-Mexico to be...something.

I’ve reached the point where I don’t even like having an iPod with me. I found it distracting and I was constantly trying to find “PR music” instead of just doing the fucking work. Yeah, the music sucks some days, but I mostly tune it out anyway.

Just started rewatching this yesterday. Haven’t gotten to any of the juicy racism that Rocket was talking about, but holy shit, it is cheesy and I love it for it.

I watched it a few years ago when it was on Netflix and I thought it was Youtube now. It’s pretty insane, but I somehow enjoyed it. It was cool just seeing how they were going to top the last set-piece of over-the-top violence.

Ok, one more. May be a little violent, don’t watch with your kids.

Apologies.

Alternate alternately alternately.

Alternate alternatively.

Alternatively.

Cool. Now cast Yayan Ruhian as a Mongolian general. Not the main bad, since we’ll want Liu Yifei to take that one out, but like a badass lieutenant or something. Make it happen Disney.

I agree he wouldn’t have finished; I just wish he would have written more on later events in the First Age. Tolkien never really wrote a new full treatment on the fall of Gondolin and Doriath aside from what he wrote as a young man, and I don’t think he ever wrote anything on Ëarendil, which is especially tragic since…

The really interesting stuff are the essays, which are often where Tolkien spent time trying to flesh out ideas concerning Elvish souls and bodies, sometimes through dialouge. There’s a “story” where Finrod and one of the wise-women of the Edain basically sit and talk about the differences of being for Elves and Men.…

Which ones do you own? I own most of the series, apart from the history of the Lord of the Rings. I found The Lays of Beleriand, Morgoth’s Ring, and The War of the Jewels to have the most interesting material, though there were parts in each book worth looking at.

Glad to see we’ve switched to the official M. Bison calendar.

Re: midwest farming, California actually makes the most money off agriculture in the US, basically because their top crops are grapes and almonds, which are all expensive as hell. As for other crops, I think Iowa and Minnesota usually vote Blue, but I’m not sure if that’s just cities swinging elections or if the…

That might not be that big of an upset. It’s got a sizeable chunk of the economy and if the GOP loses California, they’re gonna need to make it up somewhere. Also, outside of the cities, I bet they’d find a pretty big conservative base. Hell, Trump is FROM Queens, so they have a power base in the city already.

Thunderdome gets a bad rep. Bartertown is interesting, the lost kids’ society is pretty interesting, and it’s has one of my favorite endings. It’s probably a little too PG for Mad Max and the slapstick feels off, but Miller was clearly moving into his Happy Feet era, so I can’t be too mad.

Well, yeah. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Always a classic.
