the lord of the rings gets a lot funnier when you realise that merry and pippin were stoned out of their minds a good half of the time
imagine you and your best friend both have the munchies so you decide to
raid the local farmer’s field when you literally run into your two of
your smoking buddies from the shire and they tell you they’re hiking to
bree to meet gandalf, who you know has some top quality hash stashed on
his person at all times, so you agree to go with them and somehow end up
on a thousand-mile hike to destroy a piece of evil jewellery in a
volcano. congratulations. you’re merry and pippin now.
… I am not entirely sure what just happened. Exploding balls of men with shields catapulting from palm trees. A man just sliding around this invasion on his shield, then Captain America-ing like 10 dudes with it.
Bollywood effects departments are having way too much fun.
I have no idea what I just watched but I am 100% on board.
OH OH OH I HAVE A STORY TO ADD TO THIS.
So I’ve had the pleasure of working in the armory dept of a Bollywood Film, and got to spend a lot of time hanging out with the Indian crews.
Basically, the effects are so outlandish because “ITS THE MOVIES, WHY NOT” and because it’s a lot of fun to come up with these silly cartoony things and figure out how to film them.
They actively try to out-do each-other to see who makes the silliest thing happen. It’s great.
guys take time to watch these 2 movies, it’s gonna take you… like 6 hours but it’s worth the watch tbh
“I pick up the knife” is now a mini-meme among my party and obviously it just means “I did something impulsive and now it’s going to take two sessions to solve.”
“I pick up the knife” saga continues because listen we can sit around failing investigation checks all day or we could play d&d
atla has the clearest demonstration of the emo/goth dichotomy of any piece of modern media, i think. we as an audience know that zuko and mai shouldn’t have ended up together, and this is because zuko (an emo) and mai (a goth) are so fundamentally different. in this essay, i will address th
While it is tempting to categorize Zuko as an emo, careful analysis reveals that he is actually a punk. While his constant angst is a symptom of an emo like nature, his lust for justice/ honor, his angry outbursts, and his teenage rebellion are far more in line with the subculture of punk. In my response, I will address th
Attempts by previous scholars to solidly categorize Zuko into either the emo or punk category are doomed to failure because they presuppose a sub-cultural dichotomy where none exists (though I do not debate that Mai is 100% goth). Instead, Zuko inhabits the emo-punk spectrum, with occasional forays into Fucking Nerd. Zuko’s character arc in ATLA can, in fact, be analyzed as the evolution of an Emo into a Punk through personal and external acceptance and love. In my analysis, I will explain how Zuko’s hair is symbolic of th
I saw a sad facebook post from the gay bookstore back in Ann Arbor where I used to live about how they hadn’t sold any books that day so I went on their online store and bought a couple, and while you don’t get #deals like elsewhere online, I’d love it if y’all would consider buying your next gay book from them instead of like, Amazon.
Common Language is a great bookstore and while I’ve only been there once, I follow it on Instagram and really want to see it succeed!
This post is only a few days old, so let’s keep the ball rolling!
Concept: priest-king of theocratic city-state discovers that God’s aim is ever so slightly off, encourages precisely calibrated sinning among populace in order to smite rivals across the river.
This is some shit I’d do right here
How do you precisely calibrate sinning, I wonder? Is it a matter or location, or degree?
A fine art of “lust here, pride there, kick a goose that only slightly deserves it here”?
Or more a matter of “All right, everybody line up along the shore with lawn chairs and your drink of choice. We’re having a sloth-a-thon to tip the average in that direction.”
So apparently in Skyrim, if you just eat all your stolen items in between the “wait I know you” and actually getting arrested, the guard will just… walk away???
I LEGITIMATELY DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED SKYRIM JUST TO TEST THIS.
I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING AFTERWARDS.
You do know you can just… keep walking, right? Also why are you only stealing food items???
1) it’s not about the fact that you can keep walking
2) it’s not about playing properly only stealing food
It’s about CAN YOU, if your only stolen items are food, eat them all and get out of being arrested. The answer is yes.
If you’re trying to make this into some sort of logic or reason thing you are not playing Skyrim correctly my dude.
It’s about the mental image of a guard starting to apprehend you, watching you devour three cheese wheels in like half a second (presumably looking him dead in the eyes as you do), and deciding that he is not getting paid enough to deal with this bullshit.
