  1. The government wants me to send them my poop in the mail. I was selected for colon cancer screening it seems. there's a little plastic container thingie and an envelope with several hazmat seals. I'm speechless.
  2. A movie doesn't run on the same clock as a book though. It seemed comical the way the fremen won the battle and ran straight into the emperors ships and flew off on the great Jihad all in the space of a few minuites.
  3. I watched season 1 of Frieren over the last two days. not bad. Very anime ending We have to go into the demon kings territory, and to prepare..... we go to mage school and take an exam. because of course we do.
  4. Yeah they were built up like crazy and then they were just knocked aside like they were nothing. It's a symptom of the same thing I think, clearly the final confrontation with the emperor and the Harkonen should have been the main mountain to climb, but for some reason the wanted to be done with it in 15 minutes.
  5. I went to see Dune 2, and I thought it nearly perfect. My main gripe is that it needed an epilogue, instead it powered through for pacing reasons, and it felt too rushed. Like what seemed like barely a minute after the fremen have won, they run straight into the emperors ships and fly off on a crusade. It was comical, especially since the rest of the movie wasn't afraid to take a minute. I mean you have Criss Walken as the emperor, and you barely give him a minute of screen time. Other than that it was a giant step up from part 1.
  6. I rotate streaming services and grab a month about once every quarter. There is no enough decent programming on to justify a month on month subscription to anything imho.
  7. They spent nearly 500 mil on cyberpunk ? that is pretty mind boggling.
  8. the Shogun remake. The original had Toshiro Mifune, which is hard to beat, it it's ... good. It's actually pretty good. It's like a better than average samurai movie. Big fight scene at the end of episode 2 and I was disappointed to see CGI splatter. Would rather have squibs for that Shogun assassin look.
  9. It's commander Shephards cabin. I actually think it's pretty doable as appartment interior. the floor elevation would take some doing though, probably not worth the effort.
  10. It's a pretty one sided affair isn't it. The only thing he said I agree with, is that the peace itself would have been worth infinitely more than the struggle, it takes two to tango though.
  11. I too struggled to care about any of the characters. The whole thing is just a bit too "cute" somehow. Chapter 2 was good though.
  12. Godzilla minus one. A relief to watch something that doesn't suffer from the tempo problems that plauge most newer American movies. That said, it was a pretty average.
  13. Udo Kier. One of Lars von Trier's regulars. Here he is, as "little brother" a spirit born into our realm in the shape of a man sized baby.
  14. the witnesses are both tiptoeing around a beartrap, that's why they appear so suspiciously non comitant. They want to maintain their ability to judge these things for themselves. The game is to say nothing of substance while appearing to answer. These "gocha" moments are the whole point. It's a setup from the moment you take your seat.
  15. Also, a house hearing is more a chance for politicians to gain visibility than a serious treatment of an issue. It rarely comes without some outrage or another. that's kind of the point.
  16. to be fair, if there was some sort of mandate on free speech the first thing that would happen is that Palestinean and Israli students both would start accusing eachother of promoting genocide and blaming the university for taking sides. What constitutes "calling for genocide of Jews" is not something everyone agrees on. It's a leading question too isn't it. They aren't asking whether you should be allowed to support mass civilian Palestinean casualties. Insisting on a case by case evaluation is a better idea.
  17. I'm tempted to order Glamdring and put "glows blue in the presence of orks" under "purpose"
  18. I ordered Anduril, the flame of the west, Narsil reforged, then realized I had to deal with customs and that I had to cancel it because I live under a repressive regime.
