I'm really enjoying the movement in this film. The first ten minutes have been technically static (castle, Skeksis ritual, Mystics call for Jen, Jen's gettin' music and naked hangout time) but cuts, camera movement and environment mean it feels fairly active.

okay apparently everyone likes muppets who've survived genocidal ethnic purges, so I'm revisiting The Dark Crystal. This was a huge movie to me as a kid because everything in that was obviously made, which means someone had to make them, which means maybe that could be me. And then *gestures to entire childhood* happened.

it's wild how Gygax insisted AD&D was not really patterned after Tolkien that much, but then both The Hobbit and LotR have multiple obvious dungeons.

in a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit, not a nasty wet hole filled with gross gunge and bungus, nor some dry-ass hole like Fresno, but a hobbit hole, and that means fellatiOOH WHAT A GIVE AWAY

Okay so I'm stuck at home with a cold. After I read or draw some, I can watch/shitpost about;

okay, so if I'm technically sober, why did I just fry bacon, scramble eggs with salt and paprika, throw it all on a pita, and melt vegan cheese all over it? checkmate liberals.

40K Wiki explains running around with your helmet off. It's a counterproductive macho thing unless you're a Space Wolf in which case you're all NNNNGH MUST REMOVE HAT TO SNIFF THINGS SHIFT TO HISPO

okay y'want a 40K hot take from someone who isn't playing or painting, and who wanted to build Eldar back when?

I still like Mk VI armor most. A hounskull bascinet look is unique and tells you that these are knights, *kinda* - Mk VII is just a predictable stormtrooper hat. It's not a reason I'm actually thinking about going back to painting but I am *really* happy that Mk X is a more obvious visor.

oh wow, the 40K Wiki actually has a big section about running around with your helmet off.

comdogulate it

I know, I'll combine movie opening dialogue - the only thing better than one favorite movie are several!

The beginning is a very delicate time. Much that once was is lost for there are few that remember it...

[Cate Blanchett summarizes the Butlerian Jihad]

... Oh yes, I forgot to mention. Special police squads - BLADE RUNNER UNITS - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicant.

This was not called execution.
It was called retirement.

Wait WAIT why are you leaving?

We have just folded space from Ix. Many machines on Ix. Far better than those on Richesse.

The greatest stoner-surfer-buddy-road-trip-sci-fi epic is now YOUR favorite pinball game, only from Bally Midway!

also, did they ever make a Dune Pinball? For either the David Lynch or less likely the new version?

things which are definitely not as funny as I think they are; adding "Diane" to any of Paul Mua'dib's internal monologue in the David Lynch "Dune."

Things that are not as funny as I think they are; reciting all the lines for the Fremen in Dune in my best attempt at a Brooklyn accent.

"Gottenyu, if y'can do this to th' strongest of us, y'worth y'weight in water."

I can see this situation spiraling rapidly out of control and resulting in an attempt to simultaneously quote The Crow and the David Lynch Dune.

A building is torched. All that remains is ashes. In this time the most powerful substance in the universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel.

my friend; I stand by what I said in that screenshot! I _do_ like [the WH40K-verse], I'm just not _horny_ for it.

me; Given that the BDSM Play Party with Herm Minotaurs faction is relegated to an excuse to have shooty monsters, yeah, it's not exactly pants-dropping stuff there.

The bizarre day residue in last night’s dreams was having joined the Polish army and commenting that my rogatywka looked like a Feldmütze had babies with a slouch hat. They also issued me a bucket for decontaminating body (power?) armor and my friend mentioned that it wasn’t actually useful for that but most people kept theirs to shit in, in a pinch. Btw the only Polish I know is “good afternoon” and I have no interest in enlisting, my chances of joining the Polish army are pretty limited.
