Re: The Rings Of Power

I will still watch the show when it comes out, but I dont see the need, personally, to continue on any discussions/debates over the next, what 7 months. I've really never been one to watch a trailer and go frame by frame and look for all the details, and as a new rule, I try to avoid trailers and se...

Re: The Rings Of Power

Of course it's all conversation. :) I can see how someone might be reading my posts and imagining me pounding at the keys of my keyboard in a rage; red-faced and in a state of near-apoplexy, but nothing could be further from the truth. :O You mean you're not screaming like Kirk yelling "khaaaa...

Re: The Rings Of Power

I get what you're saying, just invoking conversation. I've personally always thought that some of the more complex mythos of Middle Earth should maybe be filmed in an anthology style. Have a mini series of Beren and Luthien, or a mini series of the Fall of Gondolin, etc. You're telling the stories b...

Re: The Rings Of Power

I just honestly don't see how they can do the series without altering the time frame, unless there's time jumps between seasons. The series as been pre-green lit for at least 5 seasons, 3000 years over 5 seasons is rough, now not every year of those 3000 years is packed with action, but lets put it ...

Re: The Rings Of Power

And another thing that I don't like about today is that if you comment on something that is interpreted minimally against what is politically correct, they immediately treat you as racist or homophobic without paying attention to your reasoning. People can disagree all they want, but if someone (no...

Re: The Rings Of Power

I guess I can call myself a hypocrite, because I was going to stay out of this but here goes.... I think one thing people are forgetting is, people b*tched and moaned for LOTR and The Hobbit, just back in the late 90s/early 00s there wasnt the impact of social media as there is today. People where c...

Re: The Rings Of Power

I think for the next however many months, I dont want to see any pictures, read any articles, etc. I will just watch the show. All I've seen so far is a few pics without any context and 50% of the internet spewing vile nastiness. The show might suck, it might be awesome... it might be a wonderful ex...

Re: Denis Villeneuve's Dune

I guess it’s a bit like the current “controversy” about the new Halloween movie being homophobic because a gay couple is murdered. But, what about all the straight people that have been murdered in those films? It’s not serious journalism and only serves to pit us against each other. I was complete...

Re: Denis Villeneuve's Dune

I watched it over the weekend and I enjoyed it, but I need to give it another watch or 2 to really pick up on some things. I have never read Dune nor seen any other adaptations of the work so my eyes, ears, and brain are all Dune virgins, well they were until Saturday night ;P I had no expectations ...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I definitely want to make the jump to 4k, but the TV in my living room is only 2 years old... as a single guy living alone, I have 5 TVs in my house already. I guess I could replace the 32 inch TV in my bedroom with the 50 inch TV from the living room.... I would love to have a bigger TV in my livin...

Re: Upgrade 6/1/2021

One thing I noticed is that in the "Recent Topics" sidebar the first post of a [topic] thread is shown .... it used to show the... well..most recent post (of the Recent Topics :laugh: ). Can we get that format back? It is very helpful to see at a glance that there has been a post of the l...

Re: Login Issue

Hmm, the cookie clear fix worked on both my work computer and my phone. So crazy/frustrating that things wont work across the board! Something else weird...I didn't write this, lol. That might have been me :P I typed that. I bet I hit edit instead of quote. Chalk it up as a forum update kink! :D

Have you been able to relay the information about clearing cookies?

Re: Upcoming SOTA plans?

I'm afraid you won't find any collectors of my fantasy knives and swords on this forum to talk to, but I can give you a brief update on future releases. Don't say that! I am a HUGE fan of the SOTA. Your swords are what got me into sword collecting 21 years ago. I asked my parents for a sword for ch...

Re: Hurricane Laura

It was further east,but because, you know, this year the western part of the storm was bad, usually the left side is the "good side" there was a 90 mph wind gust not far from my house. Now I'm sitting in my nice warm house with no AC.

Hurricane season is june 1 to November 30

Re: LOTR TV adaptation

Is there a chance that intimacy coordinator could simply be just someone who helps with romantic kissing scenes? Maybe I’m grasping. Sex scenes are great when you’re a horny teenager but I’m not one anymore and so I see no appeal in them. The more and more I read about this show the less and less i...

Re: Hurricane Laura

You all know that BC is in the crosshairs of Laura, right? He lives in Nederland TX . Look at a map. Surge is supposed to be pretty bad all along that strip of coast reaching as far as 30 miles inland. I hope he got out OK or is safe sheltering somewhere Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm ok! T...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Welp, I bit the bullet and watched the first episode of Lower Decks... I'm very mixed on it, I love the idea behind it, a Trek show that focuses on the, well "lower decks" and not on the bridge crew. One of my favorite TNG episodes was "Lower Decks" in season 7. I actually like t...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

Its kinda funny/ironic when you watch shows set in the future, but are 50 years old are sooooo outdated technology-wise, obviously space travel and things notwithstanding, but I believe they were looking at microfilm in TOS. Being the 60s just seemed to be at odds at what one of the overall themes o...
