Among my top 10 Christmas movies are “A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.” Also Nativity and Christmas Spirit goes wrong are really good. Funny Brit humor.

re: Americans draw the line at livestreaming ‘spectacle’ of Fort Hood shooter's execution

We aren’t the basis. Scripture and Jesus are the basis. But we all have a sense of right and wrong, and for wrongs to be made right. This is the communicable attribute of justice given to us by God.

Enforcement of the death penalty used to be truly public and accompanied by fanfare up until around 100 years ago. It was celebrated in a way, as humans have a base desire for justice.
Live streaming today is the standard for displaying something publicly. There will always be those that take things in the wrong direction no matter what it is or what is done.
I’m also a Christian. The biggest example in the Bible of a public execution was Jesus.

Yeah. This kind of thing works in A Knight's Tale. I can't see it working here.
Looks like another bad day

Unfortunately the woke shite that had started to creep into his work was cranked up to 11 in the latest book in the Stormlight archive series Wind and Truth. Incredibly disappointing.
Probably not a coincidence that it came out around the same time he made his deal with the devil/Apple.
Yes and I’ve delayed my reading of WaT. I follow him on YouTube and in a recent update he discussed completing the first draft of the Mistborn screenplay and was making updates according to what Apple wanted to incorporate. So that part makes me a little less optimistic. Hopefully it’s not “creative input.”

Serious question… how are they native Americans if there was no America when they were born?

Ok I'll bow out of this convo. Not a fan of LOTR, so I shouldn't have commented.
Yeah I merely mentioned something as a possibility and I’m dv’d out of the gate. It’s my all time favorite trilogy, and IMO the best book to film adaptations there are, and it’s debatable that the films are better than the books (I’ll get dv’d for even suggesting this as well).
Do I think Mistborn will “top” it? Probably not, because not many things will have time and fandom on its side like Tolkien and LOTR. It’s just the next opportunity for something to possibly enter the discussion in the same genre, fantasy.
Brandon Sanderson’s work will be the next possibility. In preparation for his Mistborn trilogy he studied Tolkien and what made adaptation to film so successful.
re: Happy Leif Erikson Day!!

It was actually last Friday, 10/9. But I’m a big proponent of the first true discoverer of America.
We already had Lief Erickson Day last Friday. He was here before Columbus.

Nostalgia - its delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek nostalgia literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved.

Feel like the responses you’re getting are more along with “luxury” not “stupid.”
