  1. Well a 10% chance you'll love it with a 20% chance you'll hate it are better odds than normal for you.
  2. There's still the issue of the NSA and whether time exists or is actually linear though. If I had to recommend a Lynch film to you I would recommend either The Elephant Man or The Straight Story, because both start with "The" and you have liked movies that start with "The" before. Both are also notably more straight forward than most of his work and feature characters you may have an easier time relating to or sympathizing with than his other films. Wild at Heart is a very dark horse, I think it's an easier watch than Blue Velvet but.... very dark horse. There's a showing of it tonight at the Alamo I wanted to catch but I don't think I will be able to make it. You can chalk it up to being me wanting to see the movie.
  3. That's a tall order. What if you're watching The Straight Story with your nieces and you find a tinge it enjoyment? Are you going to rush out if the room, log on to forums.obsidian.net and dm me before they catch on? What if your nieces deduce you enjoyed the film before I check the forums? What if the NSA reads the message before I do? What if time doesn't really exist so first is meaningless? A lot of potential hurdles are there.
  4. The Elephant Man (1980) The first David Lynch film I saw was Lost Highway. It was before I really followed directors and hadn't seen much besides tentpole stuff at theaters, b-movies rented for cheap from blockbuster, or stuff that was on tv. My memory is a bit fuzzy and I quite honestly don't remember much from my teenage years (thank god) so I can't place when I saw it...... but I think it was either on IFC or the Sundance channel. I'm not sure if I recorded it by mistake or by intention, but whatever the case it made a huge impression and did somewhat change my views on movies. I really want to see it again but the only legal way to watch it would be to get a bluray for $40 which I'd need a player for to boot. Maybe soon. Anyways The Elephant Man is probably the furthest Lynch film of from Lost Highway, perhaps only beaten in that regard by the Disney film The Straight Story. Aside from a handful of dream sequences, the movie is entirely straightforward and almost feels like it could fit in with some of the old Hollywood black and white movies. Like Eraserhead, the sound is a constant and almost unnoticed companion that fills you with unease and really helps to elevate the film. I'll admit that the ending brought tears to my eyes, made all the more potent by the heavy foreshadowing that makes it seem like a slow moving crash. Beautiful film.
  5. Compared to the other sekrit endings, the Midnight Isles one is very easy to get, at least as part of the main game. So much so I really have a hard time calling it a secret ending.
  6. Yes. You see the world inside the giant ball of ice is constantly shifting. What was once south is now north, what was east is now west.
  7. feelz got no place in serious discussion *snort* *fart* All monarchs and nobility have it coming.......uhhhh metaphorically speaking.

  9. If that was true then why did it take you a year to go off on it, and to something that was a tangent? I've seen Zor get called a Russian apologist for doing his usual pedantic aktuallllly thing and never seen you speak up about that putting him into a box. Really it sounds like you're more offended by a perceived slight against yourself than you are putting people into boxes.
  10. Every iteration of this thread has been about putting people into boxes, the good box or the russia box. That it took an observation of who was organizing the pro-Russian thing in Austria to set you off on putting people in boxes is pretty damn funny.
  11. Look, I know we've had some fun here but let's not go too far. Flat earth should be left in the dustbin of history. Scientific evidence has confirmed the giant ball of ice theory.
  12. Well similarly to how obese people tend to eat more fast food than average, people who believe the vaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx will give them tiger aids are more likely to be into other conspiracy theories and be Putin fanbois. Now just like you have fat folks who don't eat fast food and skinny folks who eat it every day, you have anti-vaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxers who don't like Putin and Putin stans who get their microchip firmware updates. It's a correlation that seems to hold true in at least three different countries, no one is saying that not getting a vaccine means you personally cheer for every Ukrainian killed.
  13. Sounds like Ukraine should get one of those weather warping balloons. Start being naughty.
  14. You're comparing apples and astrophysics. One of them is an observation of general correlation and the other is fantasy **** that's numerically impossible. If you want to make a comparison, it's that people who eat fast food 3+ times a week tend to be more overweight than the general population. Does that also get you booty blasted?
  15. Buddy, noting an overlap isn't equating anything. If 75% of RPG players like vidya game romance, it doesn't mean that playing a RPG is the same thing as smashing some digital bootay after 3 conversations and you'd be dumb to think that. I don't know why you're this triggered and you should probably not get so worked up. They're also disproportionately Naruto fans, and watching Naruto is objectively the worst thing you can do.
  16. Twin Peaks: The Return. David Lynch said it was an 18 hour movie, so I'm posting about it here. So this is he second time I've seen this, and it's gotten better for me. Much better. If the original Twin Peaks can be seen as a vehicle for surrealism and an examination of the hidden nightmares found in America's idealized projection of itself wrapped up in a satire of soap operas and mystery series, then The Return is takes that, almost entirely peels the wrapping off, and launches in to some very strange territory. Even by Lynch standards it's a very weird movie with....you know what just watch it for yourself. It feels impossible to spoil because like the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, what happens is so off the wall that accurately describing what happens would be taken by most folks as a joke. Yuge reccomend, this is a masterpiece.
  17. I've seen Avatar but I can't remember it. Something about unobtanium and blue cat people fighting the US army and/or evil megacorp.
  18. I remember how until 2015 Germany refused to call the Herero and Namaqua genocide a genocide because it predated the codification of genocide under international law. I guess it's nice they took "responsibility" over a century later but that initial instinct to dodge the charges says quite a bit.
  19. Wait until Nenio gets Weird. In my opinion, Archers mow down stuff like nothing else. Full attack at 50 ft can be devastating. Still, having at least one mage for control spells is a very good idea. I'd keep Nenio. I agree. Maybe a "broken builds" mode where they all do monk dips.
