Sorry I get quotey when I get sentimental Roland00 Send a noteboard - 14/11/2017 07:26:03 PM

View original post
I am fine with spoilers, I do not like spoilers, but it is part of life. Anyway (at my current age, not so when I was a preteen) I do not read to know how the book ends but instead to ride the journey. To see things I did not notice even though they were standing next to me.

But it need not be a part of life if one remains current with the show. You made a choice. I made mine.

I had to stop reading fully btw. I just began Westworld the other day. Only one episode in.


Sorry I get quotey when I get sentimental.

I also post a lot less for if I can't feel I can change something I often do not try anymore with the internet and discussions. I just feel the style of the internet is different than it used to be and it is extremely "calcified?" (Is that the best word for what I am trying to describe?)

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Legolas - 13/11/2017 08:51:39 PM 592 Views
What would you have them make instead? The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:47:34 PM 560 Views
Uh, nothing, I guess? They've made movies of everything they could, and way too soon for remakes. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 06:37:41 PM 365 Views
This is illogical. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 06:43:11 PM 541 Views

This worst that could happen is it would suck *NM* random thoughts - 15/11/2017 05:24:34 AM 328 Views
Probably. But that's how I see it. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 08:49:47 PM 365 Views
So not looking forward to this Roland00 - 13/11/2017 09:11:32 PM 570 Views
It's a business. And businesses are inherently conservative about gambling. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:01 PM 598 Views
Yes there is some logic to it. Roland00 - 13/11/2017 11:57:04 PM 530 Views
Chances are good. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:23:08 PM 664 Views
The GOT tv show will still be there in a decade or so Roland00 - 14/11/2017 05:29:43 PM 588 Views
But by then you will be spoiled on how it ends. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 05:33:15 PM 554 Views
I didn't think it would end this way. / End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another Roland00 - 14/11/2017 06:49:38 PM 679 Views
You're starting to become Joel-like in the length of your replies. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 07:01:24 PM 533 Views

Nothing wrong with sentiment. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 07:35:01 PM 554 Views
Threadjacks in order to produce flexibility. American Gods 2017 next? Or should I wait and watch Roland00 - 14/11/2017 07:44:04 PM 577 Views
Oh gods. I had to stop watching that. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 08:28:39 PM 572 Views
Yes I am open to those. Roland00 - 14/11/2017 08:36:02 PM 509 Views

*NM* damookster - 14/11/2017 09:57:28 PM 353 Views
You know you liked it! The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:04:42 PM 606 Views
Clips your Mookie card, only 7 more Mookies till you get a free Sub Sandwhich Roland00 - 14/11/2017 10:02:39 PM 560 Views
A Mook sandwich would be tastier. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:05:24 PM 569 Views
Please not be Mayo! *NM* Roland00 - 14/11/2017 11:21:34 PM 340 Views

Well that's embarrassing. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 12:50:50 AM 555 Views
Shame Roland00 - 14/11/2017 07:34:25 PM 529 Views
Literatedog likes it too. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 07:36:49 PM 555 Views
Evan Rachel Wood gets even better the further into the story you get Roland00 - 14/11/2017 07:41:31 PM 532 Views
Almost every recent breakout hit was a sequel random thoughts - 14/11/2017 03:25:20 PM 635 Views
I'm worried that they said Frodo is coming back random thoughts - 13/11/2017 09:37:49 PM 616 Views
I haven't seen anything about Frodo. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:50 PM 522 Views
The first paragraph of the article you linked random thoughts - 14/11/2017 02:04:13 AM 575 Views
Yeah, I see that now. Sloppy journalism. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:20:32 PM 541 Views
I was assuming they will ignore the Peter Jackson story line and cast random thoughts - 14/11/2017 03:30:12 PM 536 Views
Nooo AgentApple - 14/11/2017 06:26:01 PM 502 Views
there really isn't a scenario that doesn't have high a likelyhood of sucking random thoughts - 15/11/2017 03:14:46 AM 591 Views
You could go with Turin Turamber, And Beren and Luthien. *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:34:16 PM 320 Views
Beren and Luthien would be great The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:31:33 PM 507 Views
There's not a lot of Tolkien that isn't sad, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2017 11:16:17 AM 522 Views
Perhaps we can do a series about the EntWives The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:48:15 PM 536 Views
Also, if the network wants to go wild with Trump stand-ins they could do Numenor *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:44:58 PM 320 Views
In related news, I shouted at the movie screen when a Black Panther preview came on Cannoli - 13/11/2017 11:57:58 PM 625 Views
So essentially, The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:24:29 PM 506 Views
possible theme music damookster - 14/11/2017 07:34:26 PM 554 Views
I feel I should know this. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:06:09 PM 543 Views
You got it damookster - 14/11/2017 11:39:46 PM 485 Views
Whether you're a goblin or whether you're a hobbit you're tired of the rings, tired of the rings *NM* Tom - 15/11/2017 04:27:12 AM 330 Views
Nicely done *NM* damookster - 15/11/2017 04:35:57 AM 290 Views
I heard it was going to be a musical Tom - 14/11/2017 10:28:28 PM 521 Views
I really do love that version of ROTK. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:53:50 PM 499 Views
It's a guilty pleasure, isn't it? Tom - 15/11/2017 04:25:23 AM 499 Views
I have no guilt. I'm done with guilt over what I do like and don't like! The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:12:50 PM 661 Views
I have to admit to being worried. nossy - 15/11/2017 08:46:57 AM 970 Views
I think we all are. We have been with these characters for decades. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:15:12 PM 511 Views
Everything I hgave seen says a LOTR not a Hobbit prequel so I don't think you will get any first age random thoughts - 15/11/2017 02:42:50 PM 475 Views
Well, The Hobbit is a prequel. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:33:03 PM 546 Views
That is like calling the Fellowship a prequel to Two Towers random thoughts - 15/11/2017 07:09:51 PM 524 Views
It's not really a prequel if it was written before the thing it's a prequel to, is it? *NM* Tom - 17/11/2017 04:19:35 AM 356 Views
So we have two separate entities here. The books and the movies. The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:49:45 PM 534 Views
I see your point ... but is it really a prequel without Jar-Jar? Tom - 17/11/2017 02:34:24 PM 523 Views
I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. Rebekah - 15/11/2017 03:33:46 PM 700 Views
Re: I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:36:57 PM 535 Views
I want them to make 2112 into a movie *NM* random thoughts - 16/11/2017 01:10:23 AM 302 Views
A Temeraire series would seem easier to sell then "the main enemy is mindless space fungus". *NM* Dunstan - 16/11/2017 06:28:12 AM 301 Views
Hmm, not sure what to think of this! Anonymous2000 - 17/11/2017 02:00:36 AM 569 Views
So will tens of millions of other people. The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:50:36 PM 505 Views
