- Join me, MauLer, Chris Gore, Reaper, The Angry Badger and Johnny Law tonight as we review the Rings of Power episode 5, talk about the surprise box office success of Beetlejuice 2, and look at the advance reviews that suggest Joker 2 isn't the worthy sequel we'd hoped for.

My granny told me, 'I don't care what they teach you in school, Cleopatra was an Orc'
That's *deep breath* WACIIIIST! I can't believe you think black people are orcs 🥺
I hope we get to see the Balrog's home life.
What's his family situation like, the wife and kids?
His he happy?
What are his dreams for the future?
What was his relationship with his Mother like?
I certain Durin's Bane had a thing for his mother, so he married his sister, because she looked like a similar form of shadow and flame.
Haha That sounds like something Chris Gore would think is amazing
@@criticalcommenterlooks like Chris has an admirer
@@greystash1750 don't we all admire Chris?
“Why are you straight?” Dudes didn’t appreciate Reaper’s joke enough. But I see you, Reaper.
I've been a Tolkien nerd for my entire life and that's not an exaggeration. I literally remember my dad reading me and my older brother's the books to go to sleep when I was 6-10 years old because I remember the room we were read them in in our old house. My dad and even my Grandad are also Tolkien nerds as is basically all of my family.
I have read all of his works multiple times and it would be an understatement to say he's my favourite author of all time. Not that I don't love other authors and artists (I love a great deal of others) but it's the one that is perhaps closest to my heart especially as an Englishman since Tolkien is very fundamentally English in a way that I don't think non-English people can even appreciate (no offence).
There are very subtle aspects of English culture that are hard to express to non-English people like our love of "rambling" and how it differs from merely walking in the countryside. Descriptions of it will only tell you that it is walking in country but it's more than that. It's the same with how we appreciate a warm fire in a cozy pub in winter, firm-friends and a good beer, hearty food, a bonfire night with fireworks etc. etc. and i.e. everything "hobbitish".
What I can say as a nigh-fanatic for Tolkien is that this show is a bastardisation far beyond what anyone realises. The layers of culture, principle, morality, character and depth that are subverted and attacked by this show are far beyond what most realise.
As some have pointed out this is just an extension of the outright attack on Western culture but it defiles English culture in a way even it can't properly comprehend. Tolkien may be the greatest avatar of "Englishness" in history because he was trying to explicitly to be such.
If he and his works are the most fundamental expressions of our culture, this cancer is the most fundamental attack upon it.
Well said
I am still constantly underestimating how much the lore breaks in this show hurt my soul.
I'm not as much of a Tolkien nerd, but I love the lore and I am an artist and writer myself. If I wrote a series of books, died, and then some TV show was made shredding everything I wrote, I would come back from the dead and bite their necks.

@MrHarrystank
Preach! ✨👏🏻
Cool, I first read The Hobbit when I was about 10, we even studied it in 4th class English. My sister is 6 years older than me and she was reading The Lord of the Rings, which was really popular in the 70s because all the hippies loved it. Led Zeppelin even wrote a song inspired by Tolkien.
I'm continually amazed that some people seem to think that they have morality and social culture figured out for all time, and that 'current year' will last forever.
It's the thinking of children.
It's why I always say that people who talk about being on the "right side of history" are a giant red flag for immorality. No one who lives by principles, doing right because it is right, worries about their place and what side of history they're on. Only those with skeletons in their closets worry about being on the right side of history.
Sooooo true. It’s baffling
But they never had a finger on it to begin with. It is just projection of themselves as their perpetual baseline.
Perhaps the most fundamental failure of human thinking in every domain is the failure of realising (or accepting when confronted with) the fact that most things are in flux.
The irony of the modern age is that people refuse to accept the things that aren't in flux, and refuse to accept the realities that everything else is.
What do I mean?
Someone who's spent any amount of time reading history begins to understand that there's a cyclical nature to it and that the "zeitgeist" is ever changing, often generationally, but tends to have key markers of youth, middle age and then old age interacting with the next generation.
There were Westerns, then Sci-fi movies, then Animation took over etc. etc.
But, there is also that which is not in flux and possibly the best example here is biological sex.
It's almost impossible to argue that biological sex has any flux. It has negligible amounts almost always l attributable to genetic mutations which result in infertility.
In the modern age there is no appreciation for the fact that there has been a past, and that it closely mirrors our present in all ways other than the superficial and that "nothing is truly new" in human nature.
However, there is a run away obsession with inventing "newness" through simply asserting anti-reality statements as being fact.
I think this same impulse is what leads to historical revisionism and other such things.
The modern generation doesn't care about the past, they're so arrogant they feel they have nothing to learn from it and yet all they do is live in the corpse of the past whilst attempting to lay claim to it as their own original creation by applying the most superficial skin to it they can.
What they present as new or novel is the repackaged decaying remnants of something from prior generations and they're too ignorant and careless to even realise this.
All the while they make the same mistakes of the past because they refuse to look to it for guidance.
A great quote that will never become irrelevant is that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” usually credited to George Santayana.
I personally believe the modern generation and western world is the most relevant representatives of this idea our culture has seen in a long time and at the same time they're also the perfect representatives of inferior, ignorant, self deluded creatives passing off their cack handed plagiarism as originality.
Our culture has devolved to the point that the dumb, self-aggrandizing, ignorant fraud is the hero and the earnest, creative, truly learned inventor is the enemy.
Those who look to the past are the enemy of """""""""""""""progress""""""""""""""" in the tiny echoless halls of the brains of our current culture's "luminaries", people who merely "influence" as opposed to creating
But but but......children can chose their own gender!!
I truly believe the real reason Martin hasn't published is because S08 was actually how he wanted it to end but he got to see the reaction beforehand
this is the correct answer haha, everything else is just fan wishful thinking.
he clearly gave the showrunners the keypoints on how the book should end. they may not have done it well, but the plotpoint stands.
@@TNM001So then the question is, if that is the ending can he write it in a way which is better executed than the show did? Or is that ending just bad no matter how it is done?
@@Ale-xv1un You can write some of it to be not bad, but a big part of it is just rubbish. Jamey ending, Sansa/The North ending, Brann the Broken ending or the Night King ending all things you can just not write to be good and coherent with the world so they need very serious changes.
Some plot points could be executed better, e.g. Sansa's revenge on Littlefinger in s7, however, they should give it more time (Sansa's character was not developed enough to become the next big manipulative player who learned from the likes Cersei, Jeoffrey, Margaery and Littlefinger).
Same goes for Bran becoming the all-knowing ruler. It was hinted at more in the books, but totally underdeveloped.
The Long Night should have lasted a decade, and after finally overcoming it and Dany going mad in the process, they could go back to petty political wars. Maybe Jaime's regression could even be explained, even though that's a tough sell.
@@Ale-xv1un the issue is that the ending doesn't match the first half of the story. ASoIaF depicted the Others as the primary threat from the very first chapter, so trying to pivot to Dany and Cersei at the end was never going to work. The fact that he also set Dany up as a mostly well-meaning heroine with a bad childhood just makes it more unworkable.
Chris: "I don't trust critics, at all."
We're right there with you, Chris. Same goes for games 'journalists.' They're either financially or ideologically compromised.
Not to mention they're also just idiots
When the critic rating is bad, and the audience rating good on RT... I know it's a banger!
Most of these so called "journalists" these days are kids in their early 20s, usually feminists. They don't know anything about anything but think they know everything. Sheer fucking hubris!
Chris dreams of being in the circle. He's the bitter nerd saying he didn't want to go to the jocks party anyway 😂
He also says 6 String Samurai is a 5 out of 5 movie. I'm not sure I saw the same film or whether he's being nostalgic. But it is God awful.
In the 13 years since the publication of Dance, Brandon Sanderson has completed and published over 30 books. He's also got a sizeable UA-cam channel, where he posts regularly, and attends numerous fan events and conventions.
GRRM, on the other hand, has been making up more excuses than any sane person could keep up with.
Brutally unfair comparison, Sanderson is clearly some type of time traveling mage from the Cosmere. No mere mortal man could produce his level of content
@@TheTangothrax That's good. Sanderson is inhuman I believe.
Love Sanderson, can't stand GRRM
Quality not quantity *Flies away*
I love sanderson, but he is not the man to finish GOT, he has never done grimdark.
Joker was a movie that didn't need a sequel.
Yeah even if this one turns out to be good I don’t really see why it was needed
Neither did Alien, Terminator, Back to the Future, and Star Wars, but people seem happy enough with those...
@Sphoonx Terminator 2 is one of the greatest movies of all time. How dare you blaspheme like that! 😂
If you're talking about anything after T2, then I'm 100% with you though.
Re: George R.R Martin
Literally as soon as the show ended, I predicted George would never finish the series. The show gave fans an ending, while by not publishing the book ending, the dire hard fans will always believe it would have been better -- even genius. It's also entirely possible that the show wrote the exact ending the George wanted, but it was so hated he can't write that anymore. Now he's stuck without any idea how to end the series.
27:10 There’s a great video by a Gen Z kid saying King Theoden speaks to their generation because all they see is the great heroes of the past, with no ability to match them, or to stop the world crumbling around them
It's absolutely INSANE how STUPID rings of power looks. I mean, it looks like they went OUT OF their way to make the characters as DUMB and ridiculous looking as possible. It MUST be a satire of some kind. It's not possible that this is legit real.
Honestly, it looks like a 90's Soap Opera and even then I would take the self awareness of Passions and its witch, talking doll timmy, some angel girl who has an evil demon twin, over ROP any day.
Even filming on film would have given it more rugged and lived in look but no everything has to be shiny digital.
My favourite bit was the dramatic music when a character no one cared about died.
This has become one of my favorite ‘tropes’ in modern cinema. It’s honestly never not funny imo
Good to see J Law on other channels. He's put out some bangers.
Agreed!!
Did I hear someone suggest Patrick Bateman of American Psycho was an anti hero? Maybe I’m simply no cosmopolitan but after reading the book…. Villain, psychotic crazy villain.
Yeah wtf was chris talking about
It seems like Ellis was commenting on the psychological dissociation and cultural nihilism of the time. The movie fails to really capture it but there are numerous times where characters don't recognize eachother or think they see someone who is not there. "Is that Donald Trump?"

Joker II: Joke Harder
Joker 2 is just another movie guilty of false advertising. They hyped this thing up as Gaga being a co lead and we come to find out that the majority of her scenes were cut according to the critics which will ensure her fanbase is going to be irritated. So not only have you lost the interest of the average movie watcher but the Gaga fans you were relying on to boost the box office income as well. I dont think it will be a total bomb but will definitely not have the commercial or cultural impact of the first movie. Still gonna go see it and hope for the best but I have tempered my expectations
Damn, I was going to see it with a Gaga fan who didn't like the 1st Joker, but he's the only one I could think of to watch a musical with me. Well, I just hope it's all for the good of the script
Nice to see this up now. Good to see you keep the thumbnail.
I thought it was a shame Jonny wasn't talking too much, but at least that changed when they started talking about ROP.
Hes the new kid in this circle; I was wondering if they would ever bring him in!
@@shadf7902 Maybe. He has been on before, but not for over a year.
Always annoying when someone is invited to the bar and they spend their time clearly distracted and not engaged in the discussion.
Who was it and why was it Jonny Law?
I feel the same about Tyrone Magnus, btw. He does nothing but sit there yet Drinker invites him multiple times. Ugh
I mean, sometimes everything you want to say has already been said by the others so you don't have anything else to add
Ya I hate it when drinker does that!! 😂😂
@KorraPokeReactions Chris Gore seemed distracted during the Rings of Power discussion, looked like he was doing something on his computer, and made zero comments until he signed off. I love Chris Gore and watch Film Threat a lot. Usually he's engaged, so this is an anomaly. But totally agree on Tyrone Magnus. I watch and enjoy his content too, but he's clearly not a fit for the live stream discussion model.
I mean, tends to happen with too many people in the call...4 or 5 seems to be a limit unless you want to have one expert per topic
You guys are crazy. The 2010s will absolutely be remembered as the era of superhero movies. People got tattoos for those, bought them on DVD, and bought comics and trades. They absolutely got their own era.
We're just watching the part when the era ends.
if you think 2000-2010 was good, imagine what it was like in 1985-2000. I don't need to imagine, I was there. Man things were good.
Games were booming, you could make money in just about anything...stuff was cheap...people of all skin colors actually got along with each other...rock music was in it's prime...men were happy to be men, women were happy to be women...couldn't get better then that. People still talked to each other instead of texting! I know, crazy right?
only downsides were the shoulder pads and fluorescent colors.
I know man, I experienced it too, best time to be alive! I'm watching TJ Hooker atm, because modern stuff is shit. Just watched an episode with 4 Star Trek alumni! Great show.
Yup. In the last 6 months alone I've rewatched most of Red Dwarf, Quantum Leap, the X Files, Jonathan Creek, and TNG. The 90's ruled.
Me to 56 here!

So I hear Eden stars Sydney Sweeney and Ana de Armas, hope Drinker does a review
He might have to review it a few dozen times first though..... lol
1:28:25 - The Orcs "growing out of the earth" was an invention by Peter Jackson. It is absolutely non-canon, in fact it breaks the lore of Orcs being created by Melkor from corrupted Elves.
In his own words from the "LOTR Behind the Scenes", Jackson loved the idea of corrupted earth spawning Orcs "just like maggots spawning out of rotting flesh".
In the books Tolkien explains that you had 2 main types of Orcs - smaller ones, used more as hunters and scouts and bigger ones, that were pure warriors. The bigger ones hate the smaller ones and treat them with disdain, calling them "slaves." But, to be fair, they all hate each other.
Both types hate and cannot endure the sun. They cannot stand direct sunlight for long, it drains their energy, makes them miserable, in the words of Uruk Hai who have seen the normal Orcs suffer under direct sunlight - "you weaklings look cooked!"
Btw, even the biggest fighting Orcs are still shorter than men and thus much shorter than elves.
The Uruk Hai are a HYBRID of Orcs and Humans - Tolkien never says it explicitly, but Gandalf talking about Saruman's betrayal hints at it heavily.
They CAN withstand sunlight, it doesn't bother them at all an they are as tall as men.
Since it is explicitly said in the books that Orcs reproduce in the same way as other children of Iluvatar (sexually) one may ask - why was creation or Uruk Hai such a big deal? Since Orcs were literally "raping and pillaging" whenever they could, shouldn't those human women give birth to Uruk Hai?
Well, no - and this is where Saruman's twisted genius comes in. It doesn't take a Human female and an Orc male to make an Uruk Hai, it takes an Orc female and a Human male.
Everything indicates that Saruman had human males (most likely slaves), breed with female Orcs to make an army of thousands of Uruk Hai and was working at it for long years. Gandalf assumed that Saruman may have started this as a way to fight fire with fire, producing his own breed of Orcs in opposition to Sauron, not to be in league with him. But Gandalf suspected that even in this Saruman's mind was already being twisted by Sauron's power and the Uruk Hai breeding program may have been in fact a clever manipulation by Sauron.
BTW in the appendix Tolkien mentioned that Sauron knew how to make Uruk Hai and possibly even found a way to make them even bigger - possibly Troll size as there were "Trolls living in Mordor that were resilient to sunlight", but it seems that either Tolkien couldn't make his mind about it, or simply wanted to leave it a mystery. According to him, some of them may have survived the fall of Sauron and scattered across the Middle Earth, but never answers whether they were just regular Trolls or actual gigantic breed of Orcs.
I still don’t know what to think of Joker 2 yet. On one hand I don’t like the idea of musical elements but it seems that Gaga’s depiction of Harley is going to be a departure from the girl boss cringe of other recent depictions. We know this because her version of the character is basically just a joker fan girl which is more in line with the spirit of the original. Unfortunately it seems like the majority of her scenes were cut thus leaving her as a relatively minor character despite the false promo that would have you think otherwise. As for critics, I don’t trust their reviews at all because they said the acolyte was good. So I guess it’s just a wait and see situation with Joker 2
Joker 2 will be probably worth watching because the first one got hammered by the critics
As a kid in the 70’s we use to watch the old stuff with no irony they were fantastic. Tarzan, Flash Gordon, King of the Rocket Men, Zorro & so on & we loved them, Star Wars & Indy were the offspring to those. Gen z doesn’t have that
Charlie chan 😂
The only critic I trusted was Roger Ebert. I didn't always agree with him, but I believe his opinions and reviews deserved the professional respect he recieved.
The reviewers that have taken over the sun times and publish reviews under his name are shills, and deserve no such respect.
For a while I liked MovieBob. He usually had an intelligent take on movies, and he understood what a movie in it's franchise/genre needed to be in order to be good. However, he couldn't keep his politics out of his reviews, and eventually he became more an angry man ranting on youtube , than a respected, quality reviewer.
Ebert was never particularly insightful, he was just good at PR.

The show needs to do the Austin Powers thing, where after the orc dad dies, you cut to his family getting a call telling them their loving dad has died :'D
I saw a commercial of some Lego Star Wars thing, and they say in the universe. This is the best story ever told. Is there a better example of Disney’s pathetic attempt to tell not show.
When the giant wave comes to destroy Numenor someone will look right at the camera. Then they will say in a quiet serious voice, " the sea is always right." Then they'll destroy it and that's the payoff for that stupid line from season one.
Conan is one major franchise that hasn’t been subverted. And I’d love to see a proper Conan show. The Conan stories from Robert E Howard and the comics that came from his work are amazing.
The channel Orbital Bacon has reruns of old cartoons and shows, currently there is the LA Conan series on there along with the cartoon as well.
Watch them swap his race and sex.
Conan fan here since forever (gen x). They should leave Conan alone - there’s no way in hell they would do him justice in a time that hates everything alpha male. Just look what they done to Witcher? Best to leave it alone.

The “too many plots in a movie” thing isn’t a Beetlejuice thing. Most newer movies, genre ones in particular, suffer from being overstuffed with multiple plots. On the flip side, a lot of “prestige television” suffers from having too little plot. It’s obvious most of those shows started out as a two hour movie but stretched to 10 episodes. It’s as if movie producers and tv showrunners should switch places.
“My dear Drinkers, Longmen, Nerdrotics and Disparus, Losers and Gores, Shads, Platoons and Reapers. Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday (crowd cheers). Alas, eleventy one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable Drinkers.

They have to be deliberately doing everything wrong with Rings of Power. Money means nothing if you have no talent
EXACTLY! It’s gotta be a scheme of some sort
The message is more important than the product. Like paying not for you an audience to like it, but for them to try to teach your kids about sex so they might pull up to your kid in a van and ask kid to get in without your kid screaming and running away. Breaking your child's boundaries and stealing their innocence is priceless and money dump is after them, not you.
If you have no talent, you can’t be doing everything deliberately wrong.

Im honestly more and more thankful people like Tolkien passed away before this because he'd be broken to see this happen to his legacy
If he has any reason to be upset, it's that his grandchildren are betraying him with the only saving grace being a shit load of money.
@DisFantasy money comes and goes hell it even changes with time but legacy can be forever if preserved I'd say he wouldn't have cared about the money but we'll never know rip Tolkien

Based on the trailer, it reinforces the old cat lady stereotype.
I would rather have my wisdom teeth reinserted into my upper and lower jaw, the wounds allowed to heal and then have it all re- extracted again then watch the Rings of Power any longer.

I seem to recall somewhere in Tolkien's writing that orcs are spawned, not really born, but I could be wrong.
You're correct
Nice to see Johnny Law! Love his reviews. Totally love his take on Ep5 of S2 Rings of Puke. Disagree with Drinker. This was not the "least bad" episode! 😋 Johnny & Maulers views match my own. I hated this episode as much as episode 4. As far as I'm concerned it had some of the most abysmal examples of writing we've had to date on this god forsaken show. The entire King Durin speech was utterly and laughably nonsensical. The writers were once again trying to be deep, but this time they demonstrated they are brain-dead as well as being talentless hacks. I have no idea how that entire scene got approved.

Has Lady Gaga run out of songs to make? Is that why she’s breaking into acting now?
She's a ghoul.
Nah she has dabbled before, American Horror Story and Machete Kills are the two I remember.
She aint the worst, especially compared to woke actors now who only get the role due to DEI.
So yeah, the fact Hollywood cut out most of her scenes screams that Hollywood hates a female character not girlbossing all over the male MC.
In the states there were news articles (opinion pieces) saying the Joker was going to attract the wrong kind of person to the theater. Basically they were alluding to a tragic shooting in a movie theater I believe in Colorado during once again I believe it was the dark Knight. Back then I believe they saw the shooter was into the joker or some shit.. but yeah go corporate media!
They wanted a shooter so bad.
It was at a late night showing of The Dark Knight Rises in 2012 at the ghetto movie theater near the Aurora mall. My mom called me the next morning because she thought I might have gone to see it.
I like Jonny's moustache. 😁
GRRM has reached the level of Formula 1 driver in maxing excuses, that's impressive
The Crow isn’t a remake and Twisters isn’t a sequel.
I watched the movie "Asteroid City" last night, when did Wes Anderson go all Dave Lynch on us? His movies could become very interesting in the future. Well more so anyway.
When you put The Invention of Lying and the rings of power together and you end up getting Ricky Gervais as Sauron 😂
Regarding Numenor. The Downfall of Númenor was a divine punishment by Eru Ilúvatar to the Númenóreans for breaking the Ban of the Valar.
Ar-Pharazôn, the king of Númenor, was coerced by Sauron to assault the Undying Lands which ultimately led to the island's destruction and death of most of its people.

You poor poor soul
Juaquin Phoenix is a pretty good actor, but his Joker movies have nothing to do with the Joker I know from the Batman comic books. Even Christopher Nolan's abominations are better than these movies. Turning anything into a musical is not a good idea to start with. I can't stand Harley Quinn, not even in the comic books. Having her played by Lady Gagme won't help. Am I the only one who is sick of movies and TV shows about villains that try to make them sympathetic and that try to paint the heroes as the actually bad people? So sick of it.
Beetlejuice is like Highlander in that it was a good movie that did not need a sequel in any way, but it got one anyway.
Rings of Power continues to be a show that I continue to avoid. Videos about it here on UA-cam are all I can stand of it. Even the ones that are positive about it can't convince me that it's worth seeing. Such as travesty.
The 2000's have nothing new. In the future, historians and hipsters will look at the 2000's and say it was just a mishmash of things that came before. It doesn't have a unique signature look, style, sound etc. We are not even halfway through the 2000's and I am confident that it won't develop a recognizable style like the decades of the 1900's had.
I wish that I could prevent Hollywood from ever screwing up Greatest American Hero. I'm surprised/glad that they haven't rebooted/reimagined it yet for modern audiences. I'm sure that they will get around to it eventually because it's such a wonderful idea and it could look so amazing with today's special effects. I am also sure that the writing will be so woke that it'll be unwatchable.
Michael Keaton is a brilliant actor so it's not surprising that he was able to pull off playing Beetlejuice again after all this time. He did a pretty good job of playing Batman again in the Flash movie for that matter. Everyone I know who watched that Flash movie says that the best part of a not very good movie was seeing Keaton playing Batman again.
Rings of Power is just horrible. Almost as bad as The Acolyte. Just when we think Hollywood has reached rock bottom, they dig down some more. The memberberries are probably the only thing people actually like about this show and the writers know it. Won't be long before they have Smaug in there too.
Chris hits the nail on the head at 1:45 for sure. Today's shows have so many things wrong with them, but at the core of it is that they way showrunners write and portray characters today makes them devoid of anything that makes the audience care about them.
Even new video games are not very good anymore. Lifelong Star Wars fan, but Disney has taken care of that in the TV shows, movies and even the new games are bad.
Music and sound effects are incredibly important to me, partly because I had vision problems as a kid and couldn't focus on things very well and saw everything double, but my ears worked very well. If a movie, TV show, game etc has awesome, memorable music it really makes the thing so much better to me than if I try to watch it with the sound turned off. If a show or game has forgettable, generic music it really hurts it.
The regions of Middle Earth don't seem distinct from each other and the cultures don't either? Terrible! They didn't learn the lesson that Jackson did in the movies? They didn't notice that Weta Workshop spent vast time and effort creating unique looks for each culture's stuff? Amazon has no excuse for this.
You guys are right: these showrunners today hate the creators of these iconic I.P.s and are determined to change everything and just use the familiar names and stuff to draw people into watching it - only to screw fans of the I.P. over then try to shame the fans for hating it. Some of the fan-made videos are better than the big budget Hollywood movies because the fan-made videos are made by people who are passionate about the I.P. and don't hate what it stood for originally.
My orc spinoff idea: Orcy Towers.
I really enjoy when the angry badger is on, he is really thoughtful in his answers
Man, I couldn't disagree more. He consistently brings up other subjects and topics when others are talking, like when they're talking about ROP and he kept bringing up The Acolyte. And he just always has to say something, even if it's not needed. The next time he's on I'm not going to watch.
As far as "new content that isn't sequels remakes or prequels", I'm working on one that'll (hopefully) be pretty good! Still in the creation process, but I'm hoping it'll give our generation something to be able to say "that was ours!" 😅😅 fingers crossed I can pull it off!
Regarding the Palantir's. A single palantír enabled its user to see places far off, or events in the past. A person could look into a palantír to communicate with anyone looking into another palantír. They could then see "visions of the things in the mind" of the person looking into the other stone.
The stones were made of a dark crystal, indestructible by any normal means, except perhaps the fire of Orodruin. They ranged in size from a diameter of about a foot (30 cm) to much larger stones that could not be lifted by one person. The Stone of Osgiliath had power over other stones including the ability to eavesdrop. The minor stones required one to move around them, thereby changing the viewpoint of its vision, whereas the major stones could be turned on their axis.
Too many plotlines in Beetlejuice = too compressed = a bit of a mess?
Fine, I'll just wait for the directors cut, or whatever version turns out to be an hour longer.
I thought the dead zone for cinema was January through to December
GenZ's creators are YOU!
Been a fan of Lord of the Rings since 1983 the movies that Peter Jackson made were excellent. I know he strayed from all the books but they were amazing
I was at Dragoncon, there was one Smileo Ren.
16 times.
Working at the movies I had to watch the last HP movie 16 times. The projection rooms were absolutely full and we had to watch over those rooms because there was always someone who'd cause issues. Like leaving via emergency exit while looking to go to the toilet (this would take them outside of the building).
The Rohan Theme man. Just hearing this brings tears to my eyes
The problem is that this new generation is more about social media clout, youtube, and tiktok. The modern creative landscape has changed
23:00 - The cornbread line in Aliens was a coincidence. In Alien, Ripley wasn't even mic'd when she said she had some (in response to Parker asking, also un-mic'd, if she had any biscuits).
2:20:18 “Almost like you just have to make a good movie(talking about Deadpool & Wolverine)
Mauler: “mmm hmmm”
2011 was such a good year
Beetlejuice 2 has just about made the costs back. Everyone I know thinks it is shite.
I liked it but yeah, it was a lot of nostalgia pandering
Personally the first Joker sucked and I'm not slightly interested in the sequel.
I thought that it was great
Regarding orcs born out of the ground. That's the way they where created, according to Tolkien.
Star Wars outlaws is such an “Open World” game, you can’t handle all that choice all at once
snakes out there this big ? - ice cube 🎃
AppleTV makes such good adaptations I wish they would've picked up LOTR IP instead of amazon
I thought that was Bubs from The Wire in the thumbnail at first 😅
