Well, for those interested in the subject... The History of Philosophy

What, the Prophecy isn't a good christian movie?

Huh, jokes that I apparently missed in the Mass Effect games... The Quarian talking about the more respectably named ships "Iktomi" and "Dehfranz" - Which, if you start using Quarian naming conventions equals the "Vas Iktomi" and "Vas Dehfranz". - Seeing as the vas deferens is the duct in the male genitals that gets cut during a vasectomy. And while i knew that one of the first characters you meet and who dies in the original Mass Effect was Jenkins, I hadn't noticed he was the only character with a middle initial.. and that initial was L.

To be fair, it does seem that Irons played that role as if it were a British panto on stage. Hm, of course, it's very hard to explain British panto to people outside the UK....

I'm waiting for all the memes to be created of Trump talking about the shutdown being turned into a Dr Evil hold the world to ransom thing.

When in the 1930's J.R.R Tolkien and his publisher was looking to get German translations of The Hobbit published, they asked him about his family background and for proof of his Aryan descent. His reply:

Hm, so Villeneuve's Dune has added more to it's cast. Timothy Chalamet to play Paul Atreides, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Stellan Skarsgard is to be the new Baron Harkonnen, and Dave Bautista to play 'The Beast' Rabban Harkonnen.

DnD_Dad : I introduced my halfing barbarian named Sam. They asked what Sam was short for. I told them “all halflings are small.” Our party spent all day purifying the towns water source. It was a day WELL spent. Two weeks ago I asked the priest for a deafness spell and I haven’t heard from her since. When we left the Howling Portal tavern I turned in our room keys and I’m pretty sure the inn keeper was checking me out. I dug a second moat with interlocking draw bridges and gatehouses. I now have re-moat control. I play a poorly dressed rogue with cheap suits and criminal ties.

It's one of those slightly quirky things that in any interview with Mamoa, no-one ever seems to mention Stargate Atlantis, and just jump to Game of Thrones as to what made him an actor. However, he was on the Graham Norton show recently, and he mentioned that he found out he was going to be playing Aquaman back in 2013 and he was utterly broke at the time. A little later, Graham brought up his role on Game of Thrones, and man, Mamoa's expression just hit a slightly broken look and he made a comment about how while he put a lot of effort into playing that role, it basically destroyed his career at the time because he couldn't get any work after that, in part due to how many people thought he couldn't actually speak English.
