The Hip Historian Iaredios

Seljuks' betta have muh money...

Why can't there be more awesome jokes like that? Oh yeah, that's right: England gets all the attention for Medieval times.

Which one? the one with the giant alien toddler? Or the army of decapitated Omega Supreme knockoffs?

The one where this teenager human falls in love with an autobot after he/it saved her, and the many moments of laughable awkwardness from forced dates that came afterwards. the entire time I was all like, "Is this for real?!" xD

Oh, the Powerglide episode...

Now I feel sorry for you.

Personal theory of mine: What the other movies had was more cosmic conflict that is rooted in the legends and myths that inspired Star Wars. The Force Awakens just feels shallow compared to the previous six. It makes no apparent call back to stories that touch the heart, instead it is self-referential, being Star Wars and harking back to Star Wars.

Also, another theory of mine: The Prequel Trilogy is sometimes over the top because it is a romanticized recording of history meant to be performed in a play or an opera (or a space opera...)

That theory's probably true. Someone ought to ring up George Lucas and get it confirmed.

That, except I finally got enough support after half a year to have Bonkle permanently kicked.

Oh, and Bonkle never actually owned anything more than Shadow did.

It was a weak reference. Also, I was going to say "So, you exiled your Marius?", but thats unfair to either of you.

Cry havoc, and let slip let slip the dogs of war!

The thing is, there hasn't been a great adaptation of J.C. for decades (that I know of). There're only a few, but they're pretty good. Quality over quantity, eh?

Last one i saw as an African adaptation, where it is all set in like the kongo yet none of the words have changed. Very strange but well acted.

"That this FOUL DEED shall SMELL ABOVE THE EARTH, with carrion men, groaning for burial..." Just epic, man.

You mean the really unsubtle Jesus metaphors, awkwardly thrown-in foreshadowing for more DCEU movies, Lex's connection to the New Gods which came out of nowhere because they cut out the scene where he communes with Steppenwolf, pulling off the Death of Superman without establishing the necessary grounding to give it its proper impact, and a general lack of thematic consistency?

I hated the DCEU Meta-Human stuff, it was rudely shoehorned in. And the entire theme was about human fear of the unknown. Some people can't handle the thought of a greater power. If you had asked me this stuff right after I saw the movie I would have a more comprehensive rebuttal; i had it all thought out. I need to see it again.

It's not the perfect movie, but i thought it was great. Can't wait to see the unrated extended director's cut.

A fellow tea man? Heck the three of us would have a blast in a physical meeting.

Hah, as awesome as that sounds, it'd be pretty near impossible.

Sadly, yup.

Thanks! My signature has been devoid of any substance since I informally left BZPower, so since I've been upping activity lately I decided to start adding to it again. What better to start with than some great philosophy?

Just be sure that none of the intolerant staff carry wisdom, they'll strip you down bare again. ...That sounds wrong.

LOL.

They can try, but they won't have much ground to stand on. After all, there's nothing overtly religious about it, and therefore it doesn't break any rules.

Rock and Stone are different?

Uh... How?

I mean, I can see Rock being singular and Stone being a large, undisturbed quantity - but I can see it the other way around, too.

I was making a reference to my Bionicle character, who is half-skrall and half-tall, blue agori, yet finds vorox interesting.

Into trouble? Yeah, not if I have anything to say about it.

I don't want any arguments here, that phase of my life is behind me and not only do I dread them, my tongue is also dull and needs some sharpening.

Wouldn't be the first time I've confronted authority. Once got into an argument with my grandfather, and he couldn't win so he just kept yelling louder. I just stood there, scared stiff underneath, but visibly calm and responded as such, which only infuriated him more. Funny, that I don't remember what the whole thing was about, only the experience itself. I think I gained more respect from him after that.

Oh right, forgot there was two days for that...

*tosses confetti everywhere* WHOOOO YOU DON'T ONLY LIVE ONCE, YOU MONGRELS!!!! WHOOOO!!! DEATH ISN'T THE END!!!! FOR THE GLORY OF RAW BEEF!!!!!!

Ol' Beef didn't die that day.

achoo

G. bless thee, yo.

You too, Sir.

Prince of Pers-

*is shot*

*blows smoke from gun barrel*

*blows smoke from behind*

I liked the big red guy as a kid. What was his name? I want to say 'Spot', but I am pretty sure thats wrong.

...Wow.

On the day when I had already been attacked by headaches, nausea, and the like, I did not think that glancing at someone's status feed would make it any worse. Iareidos, you've done something no mortal is capable of.

Oh, and his name was Booster, btw.

Can't deny that. Bach was the true master of polyphony, and he blended all these different rhythms and melodies into one incredible river of sound.

I Like Sabaton.

While I enjoy Carolus Rex and the eponymous King Charles 12th of the Swedish Empire makes for an epic read, the only two things that and Bach have in common is that they both lived around the same time and they lived on the same continent. While one made great music and met powerful rulers, the other spent his entire life, from 15 years of age until death, fighting in never-ending warfare, the Great Northern War, and used superior brainwashed soldiers called the Caroleans.

I am a chronicler that is phat with flava, you dig homes?

I dig Holmes.

I actually make that pun all the time.

kids why would you bring that rotten meat in here of all places

Oh God, what have I done?!

You used Wookiepedia?

Wookiepedia and Biosector01 were my xchnit as a child.

That leads to a title, and that title leads to something indirectly touched upon in your profile. Can you connect the dots?

Well...I can assure you, fellow human, that is not at all the case. See, for I have emotions, ha ha..?

Let's enjoy the weather while we can, Lord knows it gets hot as Heck here. Thank God for air conditioning. xD I can't imagine what it must have been like to live here before that invention. Say, are you native to the state or were you born elsewhere?

I was born here. Lived here all my life.

Air conditioning is a great thing indeed.

Sweet, another native-born. Half of the fellow Arizonan's I meet are from out of state. Anyway, that's cool, thanks for the chat.
