Am I diminished?

I liked 300 when I first saw it, at least on an animal brain level like the author says. I didn't even think of it as some historical fiction, I viewed it like I would GOT or something. When viewed through an historical lens is does get shitty, as so many people view the actual event as a group of warriors protecting…

So Dev definitely needed to be put in his place at the end of the season. He gets to chastise Francesca while holding himself out as the good guy? Pshhhh. Like, he definitely came across as a douchebag, but there was no sense of self revelation that he was at fault as much if not more so than her, let alone any…

Love Me Like A Reptile may be my favorite Motörhead song. So good.

Man I forgot how terrible MK Annihilation was. My fond memories of the first film must've affected my views of it.

George Michael was the original nu-metal act imo

Yes that would be even better. Inexplicable singing everytime he's in a scene.

I will miss the ads on Comedy Bang Bang.

I hope Ed Sheeran shows up as an extra in every scene with Lannister soldiers simply because it would annoy the annoying people who care that he had a cameo.

I'd agree with SOAD's Toxicity is pretty awesome. I'm not sure if I'd consider Deftones numetal, but to each their own.

Sideline discussion: are there any artists/albums from the late 90s and early 00s nu-metal scene that you would consider good and/or feel okay listening to to this day?

I'm just referring to the opening scroll. Wikipedia says it changed somewhere between 1978 and 1981

I think it was called "A New Hope" on every VHS release

As someone born in the mid-1980s with a dad who loved scifi, my entire childhood was watching the original trilogy on VHS (bootleg or otherwise) and collecting the new action figures that came out when I was 8. I probably had watched the original trillogy 50x by 1997 so my 10 year old self loved the special editions…

Iron Fist wasn't great, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a failure (should've been like 5 eps). Inhumans, however, just looks like a clusterfuck. Like Thor Ragnarok and GotG know their premises are absurd, so they're played with a wink throughout. This show looks like it's just as if not more absurd but trying to…

I think it was just a "Huh?" and then Davos just shrugged like a "never mind" response.

I had to pause the episode just so I could comment on it to my girlfriend. It was great.

The Jon/Davos dialogue was a fun bit of throwback to Stannis being a dick, with Jon saying: We have 10,000 troops, maybe less." And Davos responding: "Fewer."

Ya the show set up too many relationships with Baelish that never concluded, especially his long running rivalry with Varys.

ah that's it. thanks
