The Hall of Fire

Dang it. You caught me deleting something. :nono: I didn't see anyone else on the board at the time, so I didn't think anyone would miss that post. (But I didn't edit! That's what I had promised not to do. Hah.) Anyway, I apologize for the delete. I posted without thinking it through. I didn't have ...

No, my daughter does not have stick thin arms. :) She is actually quite broad shouldered, naturally, and all the exercise has emphasized that. And she's got some guns on her, yes she does. Impy, I totally understand that sort of berserker moment! My daughter says this is quite common in newbies; the...

Well then, they need have no regrets. It served their purposes at the time, and this "ramification" would have happened anyway.

Firstly: Thank you thank you thank you Voronwë! :love: Thank you. Really. This is in essence what I was hearing around here, but again the viewpoint is rather slanted in my house, and the whole "coming back to bite them" thesis is strongly endorsed. In this case, it seems like it is probab...

I doubt that the Republicans will hesitate to eliminate the filibuster for Supreme Court justices (just as the Democrats did for all other judicial nominees and other appointees, which is now making it impossible for them to block Trump's cabinet picks Sir V, could you please explain this better to...

She does, yov. She completely dominated the first two matches I saw her compete in. In one match, her opponent briefly lost consciousness. My anthling's response? "She should have tapped out."

Apparently.

I'm not editing my post above, but it should have read "lumps and bumps". Although my anthling does limp, too, more often than I would like.

Imp, I knew it was tongue in cheek! Your words just triggered a dormant, and only tangently related, thought.

There was Mr and Mrs Smith. Not a great movie, but certainly Mrs Smith could smack down Mr. You know, this leads me to a bit of a tangential thought. As many of you probably do not know (because I have been rather scarce here of late) my darling little girl anthling has taken up MMA (mixed martial ...

Prim, :( And who knows how that will affect hospitals? My thought exactly. Of course Obamacare had already directly affected hospitals, and was a bit brutal with laboratory testing; something like a 25% decrease in funding to clinical labs. But the powers that be have tried mightily to adjust to th...

I do not do well in crowds and I've got enough pent-up anxiety over other stuff that going to an event like that *would* trigger full-on pulse-pounding, face-flushing, feels-like-I'm-inhaling-cloth anxiety attack. [total aside comment] River, that is the best description of a panic attack I have ev...

On the one hand, I can see why. On the other, I can relate. I would probably not do any better if dragged into Indy's adventures. Says the woman who can break down, clean, and reassemble some really bad-a$$ weapon that I can't remember. I don't think you would worrying about cracking a nail. Um. Mo...

And the heroines? What heroines? Their job was to catch their spike heel in the ground while running from a robot and fall down and cry. Or in Kate Capshaw's case, toss a gun aside while being chased and scream about breaking a nail. Can't let go of her purse to get on an elephant. Screams "I'...

I'm 23. Hah! I knew it! :horse: I don't know about a scale rating :P The fact that you are here means that you are at least a 7. Minimum. :) But I love many of the Star Trek films like WoK, Voyage home, Undiscovered country, first contact etc. I think the first few Star Trek films are generally jun...

Smaug's voice , may I inquire as to your age? And your general level of geekiness, on a scale of 1 to 10, perhaps? :) I was 13 years old in 1976, when the movie eventually titled "A New Hope" came out. Most people I knew who were geek-oriented at all were impressed with that film at the t...

As has become my habit, I went back to the deletion discussion and read it again. This helps me know what to post, and what not to. :) For here, then, I will only say that I am not editing anything (I am not saying that more female leads is a bad thing, or an unwelcome thing, I was simply commenting...

And surely many of those "male lead" movies are a bit older? My point was that the more recent swing seems to be toward female leads. Peter Pan (1953) is not recent. It was fun to look those up, though, and notice how many of those much older films ALSO had a female lead: Mary Poppins (196...

As for Tarkin, I went in unspoiled, and didn't know he was CGI. I just kept wondering how he had aged so well. :D I went in "unspoiled" as well, and he just struck me as monster wrong from the first moment. It took me a moment to realize he was a character from SW4. He just looked creepy ...

I almost felt this documentary was far more about Adam, and how he felt gypped as a kid with a famous and distant father, than it was necessarily about Leonard. A moment where Adam got to have HIS story in the spotlight. His sister didn't seem nearly as emotionally torn as Adam did. That letter that...

Tarkin and Leia freaked me out. Tarkin always was a bit other-worldly in his looks... the actor had made his name in horror movies, and that fits well, I think... but I really didn't like the CGI. It was distracting, and just enough a half beat off to be weird. The Red and Gold leader footage was ac...
