Jack Law's Lord of the Rings Thread.

was that it?

was that a "finale"?

Two more episodes to go for this series.

i always tell woops youre not allowed to make things up. the imagination is what has to be real.

 

[luka]

it;s very annoying when people just make stuff up, that's just whimsey. but mvuent made a good point. i basically agree with the good point he made, the rousing speech, but i would add that minor proviso

 

[Corpsey]

I often wonder about my imagination

Would it flower if I wasn't cramming my eyes with so much shit all the time? All the TV and Twitter and what have you.

I devote a lot of it to masturbatory fantasies too, probably if I wasn't wanking all the time I'd be writing the 21st century Proust opus but with added wizards that the world needs in these tough times

Before I twigged that you can imagine women being inexplicably attracted to you I was imagining complex cyber worlds

Come on now @Corpsey, I'm certain men less attractive than you have got women to sleep with them without, you know, paying for it.

 

[Mr. Tea]

OK, almost certain.

what about the one about the chef in chicago and the one about boris? do try to keep up at the back

(and thanks to @suspended for that list of dodgy sharing sites, no need to fund bezos)

 

[sufi]

i almost started a what heppend to catalog thread

 

[catalog]

i'm not gonna bother with the boris one, at least not yet.

the chef in chicago, what's that, i'll watch that

 

[Murphy]

Everyone in it was tattooed by Linebaugh

The Bear: television so good it might actually kill you

Some of the best – and most intense – TV in years, Jeremy Allen White turns up the heat as a world-class chef forced to take over his brother’s sandwich shop

www.theguardian.com

just finished it, pretty good. reminded me of "rescue me", except set in a restaurant instead of a fire department station.

don't think i agree with that all. my favorite parts of woops' novel are moments where he blatantly makes stuff up like the roots of a plant in flower shop stretching way underneath the city and reemerging in the ocean like a sea monster.

Latest episode of Rings of Power was shite, and featured the most laughable cheesy "reveal" (which I won't go into here cos it'll spoil your fun) imaginable -- almost unimaginable, actually, cos you wouldn't think it was possible to do something so dumb

Actually there were two super dumb reveals so I'll specify that I'm talking about some text that appears on screen

The one thing I like in it is the friendship between Elrond and Durin

I'd happily watch a buddy movie that mainly consisted of those two affectionately taking the piss out of each other.

Having watched the last episode the other day, yes, it was dumb beyond belief. In fact the whole series was very badly written. A billion bucks down the bog.

I'm starting to read Silmarillion and Fellowship of the Ring

 

[Corpsey]

What's the best fantasy book ever? (Assuming it isn't Lord of the Rings)

Assuming also it isn't Earthsea, cos I know about that one

Is there a really amazing knock out book that has orcs in it? Or is that a contradiction in terms
