So there's this sequence in 'fellowship' where they begin their journey from Riverdale [none]. There are all these wide, helicopter shots of them walking past huge landmarks and hill/mountains. During, there's some kind of horn instrument slowly playing 'In Dreams' while there are a bunch of violins...

Nothing turns women on quite like self-pity and entitlement. And well-said, phe_de...but I do think there are basic "needs" that aren't just about immediate survival...these are psychological needs. I think most humans need intimacy of some sort with other humans(not strictly physical) in ...

Theatrical for 'fellowship' and extended for the sequels. I actually didn't realize I was watching the extended versions and when I saw those scenes with Boromir and Faramir(showing some of their background) I wasn't sure if I had viewed them before, because these movies are long as shit and I hadn'...

Cassius Clay

One of my favorite scenes. A single horn subtly plays the Gondor theme for the first time, and Ned Stark again fails to recognize his true king. Legolas has been ride-or-die for Aragorn from the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suLkDkj8OpQ I did find myself more sympathetic to Boromir this...

I'm not sure exactly what it is about this Kim Wall murder that confounds me. I mean...it's not like this is the first psycho murderer we've ever seen. But, it's like why the hell would a 47-year old engineer suddenly decide to commit such a premeditated, gruesome crime? Has he done this before? Did...

You heard Lana Lang (Kristen Kruek or however the fuck it's spelled) recruited her into the cult? I didn't read much into it, but that was my understanding from a cursory glance. I heard it started as a self-help group and devolved into a sex-trafficking cult. And that Lana Lang left before it got ...

-It does. -Who? -Who? -Yeah, I first read about the cult about a year ago actually. Hopefully recent events mean it will be shut down. Adam Pally is a comedian who was invited to the "Shorty" awards to present, and he decided to shit on the whole thing until someone was sent on stage to r...

Anybody following this gruesome Kim Wall murder trial?

Allison Mack from 'Smallville' has been is facing trial for involvement in a sex cult. Wtf?

Well, my foot's gonna take a trip up someone's ass if I see another wrongheaded complaint about traveling.

Cassius Clay

So I searched for Aragorn's "Men of the West" speech that he gives at the end of ROTK. The speech is meant to motivate and unite the two separate nations(Rohan and Gondor) in "the west", who have been fighting their battles in isolation as opposed to fighting together. There are ...

What was the deal with Denethor btw? He had one of the funniest(unintentionally so) on-screen deaths I've ever seen. He was such a self-pitying, defeatist/demoralizing presence. The whole sequence, from "ABANDON YOUR POSTS! FLEEEEE! Fleeee for your lives!" to him dousing himself in gasolin...

I know there only a couple basketball people here, but my newest pet peeve is people complaining about traveling who don't know what they're talking about. In basketball, before you shoot or pass, you are allowed 2 steps after you pick up the ball. It seems that a good chunk of fans(and even some pl...

LOTR are among my favorite films for precisely the reasons you lay out in your OP, and for the fact that it's just such an impressively immersive world. It's strangely the first film (series) that reminds me a lot of video games in how well it creates the sense that you're an actual part of its fan...

Yeah, while I can appreciate the formal qualities of the LotR trilogy the racist subtext is pretty disappointing and gross for a set of films released in the 21st century. I don't think its a coincidence that conservative American politicians invoked the trilogy a lot around the time the War on Ter...

Cassius Clay

Tolkien was definitely a conservative who wanted the aristocracy back and all his work on that world was extremely Eurocentric by design. I'd love to get a time machine so I could make him see Black Panther and witness his brain exploding. True, but then the filmmakers(as Rax points out) built-on a...

So, I decided to sit down and watch this trilogy that I haven't seen since my late teens. Took me almost two weeks to get through it, and at the end, found myself loving/appreciating it a lot more than I did when I was much younger. When "the fellowship" was initially released, I had absol...

This Downton Abbey guy is everywhere now.

I was interested in this show, but there are way too many shows on my watch-list. There are way too many shows in general. I need Hollywood to slow down a bit so I can catch up within the next decade or so.

Did you immediately know the name, or did you have to look up the title in a movie you might have heard it in?

I finally saw Blade Runner....it was pretty damn good. I remember making fun a Ryan Gosling's almost-robotic acting when the trailer first came out...because it just seemed to be an annoying gimmick. I said I liked his acting in 'Drive', but now he just seems to be doing the same robotic bullshit......

I suspect he was trying to be cute and meta(by explaining to women how to be funnier in a joke about mansplaining), but it's still dumb.

Cassius Clay

I've been hearing it's really good. And I keep hearing that Paramount did a bad job promoting/distributing because they didn't have faith in a bunch of women carrying a sci-fi, action movie. Now I'm really curious.

I think the hypocrisy stems instead from being more paranoid and concerned about kids seeing a gay couple (not even kissing or anything, just existing as a couple) than kids being slaughtered in mass murder. The argument put forth wasn't about not caring about protecting kids from shootings though;...

Guns should be cancelled.
