The 2nd movie was better paced than the awful first movie - but was NOT "The Hobbit" in anything except the barest most threadbare manner possible. It followed the basic sequence of locations (Beorn, Mirkwood, Elf prison, Long Lake, Lonely Mountain) but other than that? It might as well have been called, "Dingles…

A Playstation designed for 3% of the population - of which probably only 5% of which are gamers. Wow - what a marketing coup.

Celebrimbor doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would return as a vengeful ghost to order some guy to go around whacking off orc chieftains for bounty rewards. But whatever. :)

But there wasn't just one guy who was betrayed. The great rings were made by several of the great Eregion smiths. There was one guy - Celebrimor - who was part of that group who had secretly made the three Elven rings without Sauron's knowledge. But it was the whole group that was betrayed.

What other one would be worthy?

This. And "cost of system versus cost of freaking multi-million dollar tank".

Hm - what is the ratio at which these cards will be available for use in a deck though? I have always understood that a lot of these cards will be "single player only", and that only some of them will be available for use in Arenas or Play mode.

I'm not mad at you. I'm calling you out because you are calling me a racist just because I'm pointing out simple facts. Pointing out that comic books mostly have straight white protagonists because the nation they exist in consists mostly of straight white people is does not in any way imply that it is "my way" or…

As is typical, you accuse others of racism and bigotry - but reveal yourself to be the racist bigot in doing so. Check your privilege, dude and stop acting like you know people's minds or hearts. Throwing out the race card just because you got schooled by facts and reality? You can do better than that. It's that…

It's just a thought, but let's look at the statisitics...

I don't care if Marvel wants to do a money-grab and call a black guy Captain America for a few issues. Whatever. But - Marvel - could you PLEASE in the process of doing your pathetic little stunts... Could you PLEASE stop crapping on the original characters in the process? Just have Steve Rogers decide to retire…

M'eh. Every person wants to feel like they are a special little snowflake and so of course when anyone tries to 'define' them they stick their nose in the air and derisively snort, "Hmph - you just don't get me". Doesn't matter that they might have been described with 99.999% perfection. They fixate on the 00.001%…

I really have a hard time understanding how some people can care so much about a sporting event that they actually cry, riot, attack, and kill over it. There isn't a single 'game' I know of where I could muster up that much emotion over it. The US lost the World Cup and I could not have cared less. Same goes for…

It is not saying, "Someone else's problem". It is saying, "There really isn't even a problem at all, and claiming a problem exists when there really isn't one is illogical." Supplies are not "dwindling". Really. There's tons of oil out there, and it isn't going to run out in "a few years" as some alarmists claim,…

When Krull came out in 1983 I was a 14 year old with an entire summer to waste crawling the mall with my paper-route money in my pocket. The theater showed matinée movies for only a buck-fifty. I would buy a ticket, and get a Coke Slurpee and a popcorn for another 3 bucks. It blew a solid 2 hours of my time and I…

I'm not 'putting off change'. I'm saying we should only do things when it makes sense to do them. Quite frankly, we don't "need" to come up with an alternative yet because (A) oil is in good supply (B) there is no feasible replacement for it and (C) there is no compelling reason to NOT use oil until (A) and (B)…

And Coltrain's "Rhun" character was one of the great parts of the movie. He was almost as good as David Battley. Every time Rhun said anything it was gold. He was just so gruff and sarcastic...
Torquil: "You heard him. We are now an army!"
Rhun: "An unpaid army..."
Torquil: "You got a problem, Rhun?"
Rhun: "Can't a…

I need this animated GIF to be on a T-shirt somehow...

There are worse places to end up, I suppose. But his role as Eddington wasn't exactly great thespianism either. The scene where he died calling out to phantom comrades as a means to make the Jem'Hadar think that he had a squad with him was very forced. And that bit where he told Sisko "I'll give you ME...!" was…

I agree that "wasting" oil is a bad idea, but I would'nt go so far as to say that using it for fuel is "wasting" it. For vehicular transportation there really isn't anything better yet. Hydrogen is a pipe dream, and EVs will never truly be a replacement for fossil until there is an entire paradigm shift in battery…
