CitizenKong,

That’s not true at all.

CitizenKong,

I second this. Also a good double feature with Rare Exports, which is another dark folklore take on Santa.

CitizenKong, (edited )

Pretty sure that’s Krampus. (Evil counterpart to Saint Nick in Southern German folklore, punishing bad children while Saint Nick is giving presents to the good ones.)

CitizenKong, (edited )

He’s an eldritch shapeshifter, subconsciously transforming into what people believe he should be. Sort of like the Norse gods in Marvel Comics. Until Alladin rubs the lamp, he didn’t exist as a conscious being because nobody was there to think him into being.

CitizenKong,

Wow, a calendar that automatically shortens the description of the month when you’re further away, fancy!

CitizenKong, (edited )

Michelle Rodriguez might have him beat at this rate!

EDIT: Okay, he’s still ahead by quite a bit, 10 opposed to over 30.

    CitizenKong,

    That’s not how cheese works. It’s a bacterial process, mold is just added in some cases for the flavour.

    CitizenKong,

    Thanks for the addition! It didn’t know the technical term.

    CitizenKong, (edited )

    So, your brain is basically shutting down the nervous system of your body’s musculature. This prevents you from moving around in your dreams. Otherwise everybody would be sleepwalking, it doesn’t work right for people that are suffering from that. That’s also where dreams of flying or falling come from as well as sleep paralysis, which is basically your brain shutting down your body while you’re still conscious. Just before your body is shut down, the electric pathways of the nervous system of your musculature are discharged, which can manifest itself as a jolt through your body, ironically waking you up again.

    CitizenKong,

    I mean, the camera singles him out. Maybe there were dozens of hooded men drawing mysteriously on their pipes just out of frame.

    CitizenKong,

    Best thing about this is when you attack Elminster, he’s actually just a construct. So he didn’t even bother to turn up personally.

    CitizenKong, (edited )

    I don’t think even that would faze the real Elminster much. He’s as close to a god that a mortal can get in the Forbidden Realms I think, the champion of the living embodiment of magic itself. I mean, he didn’t even consider an Elder Brain to be worth his undivided attention.

    CitizenKong,

    Yep, so of course they pivoted back to Bayham for the sequel.

    CitizenKong,

    Goatse, his cheeks spread.

    But Hollywood has shown us again and again that the overwhelming force of evil always leaves a small but super-easily accessible hole in their security which allows the good guys to disable it immediately. And since AI is trained on those movies it will do exactly the same thing.

    CitizenKong,

    I like the idea in Daniel Suarez’ novel Daemon of an AI (Spoiler) using people as parts of it’s program to achieve certain tasks that it needs hands for in meatspace.

    CitizenKong,

    Yeah, that was exactly the case. Still weird to think “hey, I have this medical check-up today, better wear my best plug!”

    CitizenKong, (edited )

    There actually was a guy who wore a buttplug with a metal core in an MRT. The plug shot through his body like a high velocity bullet and was stopped by his sternum. He survived with severe internal injuries and sued the company selling the plug.

    CitizenKong,

    Fascists and bad haircuts, name a more iconic combo.

    The DCEU ends not with a bang, but a wimper. (lemmy.ml)

    10 years after Zod’s snapped neck, Martha, “some kinda Suicide Squad”, CGI moustache, rennouncing your wish, the hiearchy of power changing, and Speed Force PS1 graphics, the DC Extended Universe finally comes to a close. And it ends the same way it started - with a Rotten score....

    CitizenKong,

    Hey, it’s not as if they could have involved the people who did the animated series or the Arrowverse TV series, both of which have been very successful.

    CitizenKong,

    He also looks like a middle-aged woman after her menopause.

    CitizenKong,

    It’s so cheap to produce that it doesn’t need as many people watching it to be deemed profitable. And many people watching it probably just let it run in the background because it doesn’t need any close attention. Basically like soaps, but soaps need writers so are more expensive.

    CitizenKong,

    Dalek: KEEP GOOOOING, YOU’RE ALMOST THEEEEERE!!!

    CitizenKong, (edited )

    You’re in luck, Chris Miller and Phil Lord (LEGO movie) are working on an adaptation with Ryan Gosling set to star. Drew Goddard (The Martian) wrote the screenplay together with Andy Weir himself.

    CitizenKong,

    Needs a “darling” at the end but I absolutely read that in Astarion’s voice.
