The Hip Historian Iaredios

I do that anyway, if no-one is in the aisles

the dancing bit, at least

I do.

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.

They're both classics so I'm feeling very...scared. After watching the trailer: Ben-Hur's remake looks OK - not a patch on the original and Lew Wallace's novel though - and the Magnificent Seven remake left me feeling like a cow that's just realised that the green pasture it strolled into actually belongs to an abattoir.

My main fear about Ben-Hur is that everything will be all CG-ed up. In the first two Ben-Hur movies, they built giant coliseums in the desert, and here they'll probably just build some dinky little 10-foot-long stand and CG the rest, which is something I dislike in movies. AND all of the religion in Ben-Hur will most likely be gutted.

Dallior, I've got some good news. Apparently, they actually built the coliseum and real chariots for the race sequence, and are using minimal CGI in that part. I've also heard it's not wholly a remake - they're going back and going over extra material from Lew Wallace's novel. This may mean that the religion won't be as gutted as we fear.

Ooh, this looks good.

@Erasmus - I hope you like it. I have plans for what I want to tell, too much actually. I don't really know what to do first, and how to write them out. I also have to edit some of my wording due to BZP rules.

Also, more important matters regarding government truth has been distracting me from the Visions, so I apologize.

I think if anything he needs a break from the heat. Sun-Violated Mesas and Spicy Mexican Food can cause some damage. He already think's he's Roman, next he'll rise up and form Caesar's Legion.

This thread is my bride, and I love her.

OH GOD HE'S GETTING WORSE!

Maybe...

Anyone else?

My mind currently isn't at home.

+ Mode?

Nope. Maybe next year.

._.

Try god mode. It's wondrous.

get out

"...Just like my FATHER used to say!"

Yup.

The spergs are very common on this site.

The spergs... lol

The fields of Neala will be washed with the pink mercury that Matora-people spill when cut and crushed, and the heavens that make up Solis-Magna's realm and beyond will remember this as the day when the metal people from the silver seas were driven out of our home! In the memory of Greani and Certavus, we will have victory!! !D:<!!

I was going to make a joke about hugging Tarduk, but I don't want to be washed away with pink mercury. xD

(pink mercury in reference to MU version of blood)

As an FYI, for balance and fairness, I'm for all such things being banned. It's all or nothing.

Thank you ! that's what i've been trying to tell them , yet they would use "chances of argumentative behavior" as an excuse not to allow religious criteria , yet you can argue over anything , especially anything LGBT related .

and i stand for the all or nothing system , also .

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.

Good job. I know the horrors of a bus lacking an airconditioner in an arid land.

*reference

Base Arizona.

It's a bit of an inside joke with Gunhaver, where we were looking up Bionicle names in a Maori dictionary to see what they actually mean. Maku means "wet, damp", but is also a word for "for me" or "to me" where the receiver has control over the object. The example sentence was "Homai he rare māku. / Give me some sweets, please." which we found hilarious fr some reason.

And then you chose Macku after the last word, māku, correct?

Yes.

When in doubt, meditate.

Or medicate. xD

When medicated and smelling incense, meditate.

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.

My main problem with it is the lost potential. It's basis could have epic proportions, a new myth. Lego didn't exploit that very well so I plan on using it as inspiration for my own things in the future. (...then there are the people dragging mountain-sized limbs with ropes across a whole region, lol)

Yeah, that is true

The Legend Reborn has always been my favorite Bionicle movie (although LoM is probably a better movie overall) more for nostalgia than anything else, although I do like a lot of things about it.

Should yell, 'FOR THE EMPEROR!' as you sucker-punch people.

I find it funny that they both happened on the 23rd of a month. Feeling better now.

"DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!!!" *king-hit/coward punch/surprise attack/whatever it's called nowadays*

Mmmmmmm, corn...

Warm and buttered corn on the cob. One of the most delicious of food items!

Yeah, I love me some grilled and buttered Cornish cob.

Don't worry, Ghiddy. Your avatar's fairly spoopy. The Night of the Hunter is technically a horror film, so I reckon I'll keep mine the same (unless inspiration strikes).

Inspiration struck. Bit of a tribute to Sir Christopher, as well as a fairly spoopy pic.

NYEH! BONES!

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.

I would have made a topic for this, but in a couple of hours the rotation will have passed so i decided to just do it here.

Can you link to his page?

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.

Because Turkic masks could very easily become the next creepypasta.

No.

Haha

Not funny Sir I.

The joke is that I am using an old French flag and not the current one, its bad in that it is lame.

My heart goes out to those innocent lives taken in those attacks, not only in Paris but other places that were attacked that day as well; but I am not exactly surprised at what happened in France due to recent historical happenings growing in the past several years. I saw the attack coming, but anticipated it to occur in a decade and not so soon. God bless those families that currently suffer in the face of the new yet old jihad.
