I think this was bandied around during casting for "The Dark Knight Rises", but I always thought it was be awesome.

I had a similar thought. Wasn't Blazin somehow involved in the whole Ravven fiasco? I vaguely recall him being one of the people getting naked pics or something along those lines. If that's not the case, I apologize. If it is, however, then it seems like dangerous ground.

That's a good question. I've only ever been hospitalized once, and that was to cure Polonium poisoning so I'm not sure exactly what they were injecting me with. Q: Do you think some of these cell phones nowadays are getting too big? They're starting to approach tablet size.

It will kill him permanently, like casting a heal spell on undead monsters in Final Fantasy IIIIII.

I won't miss her gap teeth.

Khane realizes what he's doing is retarded. He's doing it "for broscience".

I think LOTRO still looks great (especially the hi-def version that bixxby mentioned), but it is certainly starting to show its age now. The textures are still crisp, but the character models are visibly lacking in the details that modern games are able to do.

First we lost Thorne to unbearable pain, then Wizardhawk to meth-tooth infection, and now we're going to lose brother Khane to starvation. Rerolled members are dropping like flies!

I think MyFitnessPal is best used simply to keep track of how many calories you're taking in. I've never trusted the numbers it provides you in terms of calories burned, calories needed weekly, etc. Basically, use it as a user-friendly, accessible food journal and nothing more. *Edit*...

I don't have a problem with Subway's cold subs. They're nothing special, but I certainly wouldn't classify them as bad. Any toasted/hot sub, however, is shit because for whatever god damn reason they refuse to install a proper way to cook them in their restaurants. That shitty little...

Given the events of this movie, I imagine that during the battle of 5 armies members of the White Council will show up to assist Gandalf and have a showdown with Sauron. He sent Radaghast to inform them about Sauron being present in Dol Guldur, so I'm sure they'll turn up there. They'll take...

That's right, which makes me very hopeful. This means that Jackson has lots of freedom with how to portray the battle of 5 armies, because it's left relatively vague in the book. I'm extremely excited and optimistic that it will get enough screen time and be done well.

My suggestion is to do whichever routine fits your schedule and keeps you motivated. If going 5 days a week makes you tired and burns you out, either physically or mentally, it's going to be a failure no matter how hard you work because you'll quit eventually. The best routine is one that sees...

A Chinese guy with a Chinese tattoo, that's novel. What does it say? Also, you look nothing like your passport picture. It looks like a baby photo.

Make a donation to Make-a-Wish in the name of every person who shit on the Batkid thread.

They probably didn't want the wood for anything. When I was a kid, my friends and I went into a neighbor's backyard, took a bunch of gallon jugs filled with some kind of oil, and dumped it in the woods. Why? Because we were stupid fucking kids and deserved to be beaten (which my parents did when...

Fixed it to make it more general and sum up 90% of college education. I hate all the "well-rounded" bullshit you have to deal with and take shitty classes like sociology and gender studies when you're not remotely interested in those fields. Sorry for the semi-tangential rant.

I'll be lucky to get any merit increase, and I just got my bonus: $100 AmEx gift card. Ho, ho, ho.

I'm sure there are lots of exceptions to the rule, but Koreans (and Asians in general) are some of the most uncreative, inside-the-box thinkers I've ever met. I teach classes of international students, usually 12 - 20 with as many as 6 - 12 nationalities together in each class. The Asian...

That's been the response of everyone I've convinced to give Arrow a shot. It starts of something like, "Eh, I dunno...it's on the CW..." Then they watch a few episodes and they're like, "Holy shit, he's killing the fuck out of people! Holy shit, it's <insert character/easter egg from DC...

All dwarves are dwarfs, but not all dwarfs are dwarves. I am against irregular plurals so I prefer dwarfs, even if it is not technically correct in middle earth.

That makes sense. I don't remember that scene, but I haven't seen the first one since last December so my memory of it is foggy.

One thing I wondered about (and actually I wondered about this in the book as well) is how did Smaug get all that gold into one giant room? Obviously the dwarfs didn't have their entire national wealth piled in their great hall, and Smaug is clearly too large to enter the smaller chambers and...

Tolkien himself revised The Hobbit when he began work on LOTR. He basically retconned all the stuff about the ring and Gollum to create a connection with The Lord of the Rings. Since it was Tolkien who did it, I'd say that the revised version is canon and the first edition is an outdated curiosity.

You must be new here, this community hates EVERYTHING. The movie was great (as was the first), but I really think all the extra padding they've added proves that there was no reason to make it a trilogy beyond the obvious cash grab. That's really my only beef with these 2 movies so far...

I don't know of anyone, beyond the super hardcore devotees of paleo, that absolutely refrain from EVERYTHING "non-paleo". Hell, even the people running Nerdfitness, which harps pretty consistently on the virtues of eating paleo, freely admit that having some beers at a summer BBQ or eating the...

You don't have to necessarily go full paleo. I generally eat pseudo-paleo, which basically means I cut out processed carbs and refined sugars, but I still get tons of carbs/sugars from natural sources like fruit, which I eat like a madman. I also kept dairy in my diet because I love milk and...

My problem with the show isn't with the basic concept, but with the lack of soul. It feels like it was conceived by marketers and is being written by a focus group. Everything about the show is just so bland and vanilla in order to appeal to the largest common denominator of viewer. It seems...

Because at least he was actually present in the LOTRO books. There's no reason to have him here except "lol filler content" to stretch it into 3 movies.

It looked much, much more like Thorin's Hall from LOTRO than Ironforge. Warner Bros. is awesome about keeping a consistent art style across their various LOTR movies and games. One final super nitpick: I really hate the "style" of dragon they went with for Smaug, with those retarded batwings...

Are you guys really bashing Robbaz's voice? Wow. His hilarious voice and awful English accent are one of the main reasons his videos are so great.

I have high hopes for the Skins next season!

Similarly, these shady "Rent-a-Center" types of stores that encourage people with no/shitty credit to finance enormous televisions and other completely unnecessary luxury goods.

Saw it, thoroughly enjoyed. However, I could have done with less Legolas and more Beorn. It was cool to see Legolas, but there is ZERO suspense/excitement in his fight scenes because we already know he survives to show up in LOTR. I'd have preferred some of his screen time be devoted to...

The thing about Green Lantern is that he just can't be done well on a TV budget. Arrow, Flash, Grundy, Deathstroke, etc. all suit a TV show well because they don't require much in terms of special effects (or they can be adapted to not require it). Green Lantern, on the other hand, isn't...

You should go post this in the fast food thread because people there keep shitting on me for posting about how awful Wendy's is. It's bottom-tier fast food with soggy limp dick fries.

The guy was stupid as fuck for arguing near a cliff. Rookie mistake. Hell, I make sure never to argue in the kitchen because there are knives close by.
