Not sure if Homelander really fell for Stormfront's little chat. It felt kind of like his next to last scene with the former head of Vought, where he realized she'd been lying. He didnt fly into a rage and kill her on the spot. I never read Homelander as white supremacist, but as a super...

So bad they almost ruin Herbert's amazing world building. Brian tried to explain every detail, and all the explanations were fucking retarded. Resist the temptation to read them. I haven't regretted reading something so much since I kept reading past Kings warning to stop now in the dark tower...

Embarrassed to say I didnt know about these, I've read Destination Void a few times but never realized it had bizarre psychedelic sequels. Thanks!

I agree, it would have been interesting to flesh out those parts. Ultimately it doesnt matter though since those books are just prologues to God Emperor, the core of the story. Prologues are always left incomplete, because they arent meant to be read as standalone books.

What a bizarre claim. I dont see it as really worth addressing; anyone who read and understood the book understands. The story of Paul is only important because it lets the reader understand why Leto had to do what he did.

Fine, I agree both of them have satisfying endings. Fair point. Doesnt change the fact that both books are prologue to the core story.

God Emperor of Dune is the story itself. The first 3 books are prologue and the last two are epilogue. I cant imagine stopping after Dune, it'd be like stopping partway through the Hobbit and saying "I'm good, thats enough of the story".

Great trailer. Chani is still jarringly unattractive. Aquaman is a little too aquaman. Other than that, all the casting looks awesome. But more importantly. Assuming its not just trolling, I didnt realize there were people who didnt like Pink Floyd. What the fuck went wrong in your life that...

LOL nothing says "pathetic" more than a middle aged dude in a shiny fancy car. Unless he's also wearing skinny jeans. Thats the only thing I can thing of to top it off. Driving a used car (>10 years old) is unquestionably the best financial decision one can make with regard to a car. This...

Damn, this got me curious and I discovered I'm a fucking 07er. 7/20/07 So friggin weird to think I've been on FOH longer than gmail.

Finished E3 yesterday, and I'm already pissed this show isnt getting released all at once.

I'm pretty sure this forum could come up with a dozen more offensive and funny slurs than "yellow" without breaking a sweat. Hell, just going with faulty armor would have been more authentically racist and funny.

What a great fucking show. I had the same thought about stormfront though. Wtf, she can't even play a racist convincingly. Yellow? Really? I'm not sure that's even offensive.

This looks so good I'm starting to care less about afrochani.

Wait a second, Flagg is not Satan, he's like half demon, right? I guess it was the Dark Tower series where they explored his origin and nature but I thought he was half demon, half human, not Satan himself. Any DT experts care to confirm/correct this?

It sounds like I missed a key reveal somewhere, when do they show what the dad is? Great show.

I dont get it. From the brief shots in the teaser, it would appear that not only did they actually cast white guys for Flagg, Nick, and Stu, but they actually even cast a white girl for Frannie. How did this happen? A 2020 remake with no race swapping for woke points?

I've been slowly training my children to eat onions like a goddam normal person, by gradually adding more and more to their food. (Obviously the marinara always had onions in it, which makes your complaints about spaghetti puzzling - ya cant make marinara without onions) You should try it.

Yeah, the show has one of those implausible white male / black female lead couples. But you can't blame them very much, it's literally the rule in Hollywood. You are not permitted to make a TV show or movie without one in 2020, sorry, thats the rule. At least they did it in a plausible setting...

Dunno what the problem is here, I've been assured that only 'acting ability' matters, and only a bigot would insist on casting someone that looks the part. Are you a bigot sir? No? Ok well tranny storm it is then! At least they didn't cast him as rogue or jean yet. Be grateful.

This is where we are. Anything said by any scientist must be false. Even nuclear winter is just overblown fearmongering. Bunch of doomers. I love 2020

In theory couldn't a well stocked bunker in some other continent hold survivors for long enough? I have not read enough predictions about a Yellowstone eruption.

Great job destroying the local economy with your forced evacuations. People die all the time, but the economic devastation from the evacuation will last a lifetime. Free michigan!

Do you personally know anyone affected by this flood? I dont. More scaremongering from the fake news media.

WTF, margarine is still a thing? And actually selling out? I thought everybody had realized butter wasn't bad for you and stopped eating this artificial shit.

Like much of the shutdown outrage it's an overreaction to the loss of a trivial preference. Nobody said stop exercising, they just closed the disgusting sweatboxes where people congregate to exercise in ridiculously close proximity to each other. Gyms were gross and unappealing before covid...

The sequels never happened. GEOD is top tier sci fi. The first books are just prologue; Geod is the story itself.

In English, when the speaker refers to 'your experience in Academia', which of these is he referring to? A) his own experience B) the experience of the person with whom he is speaking C) it was sarcasm intended to highlight the established fact that once again IRB is talking about something he...

Tell me more about all your experience working in Academia Willywonka.jpg

God emperor is one of the greatest sci fi books of all time, and the pinnacle of the Dune series. The others (by Frank) were epilogue. (The prequel shit Never Happened) It has amazing built in visuals. The worm body itself. The terraformed Arrakis. Idaho's climb. Letos death. I want to see...

The liability issue is huge and one of the only reasons I can see to justify nationwide rather than local shutdowns. Here we are about to reopen and we still haven't addressed it. Fun times ahead... lawyers are gonna be set for life.

I cant like this post enough for your correct description of begs the question. I see well respected scientists get this wrong at every conference I've ever attended. Maddening

This. There are good arguments that the FDA is too risk averse, if anything. If the FDA approved it, its almost certainly safe, along with a bunch of others that didn't quite make the cut but are also safe enough. Worrying about vaccine risks is right up there with claims that nutrasweet kills.

They put all the autism in the first round of vaccines. It is known.

Liet Kynes is a black woman now? Wtf I must have mentally erased that because it was so goddam ridiculous.

Sounds like they cast white people to play white people and an Asian to play an Asian And then oops, random black chick. I'm sure no one will notice she's a different race than all the other white fremen. This isn't complicated.

Video is inherently inferior, don't sell yourself short by talking about learning styles. The increasing use of video instead of text is making the internet objectively worse. And the people who fixate on video lengths miss the point entirely. Text is just superior. The worst is when it's...

How many pics of her did you have to scan before finding one where she looks surprisingly attractive? Sounds like a fair punishment for your defense of blatant raceswapping for woke points. I'm sure some of her glamour shots look good, thats what theyre for. I was talking about pics from her...

The rest of the cast is looking ok, but black chani is less attractive in each pic they release. If they couldn't cast someone who looked the part was it too much to ask she not be fugly? Still watching. Won't be able to help myself.

Surely this is the one thing we can all agree on. I went to college outside the city and we went in every now and then. Always amazed me to think people live like that willingly.
