    I think that more orcs were killed by randomly running into the hero's swords in the Barrel chase scene than during the Battle of Five Armies. And if you're going to be making long, extended and contrived battle scenes, why the hell don't you have Beorn killing god damn goblins and worgs and nailing their hides to his cabin wall. Other than Riddles in the Dark, THAT is what Hobbit fans wanted to see. Beorn shape-changing and kicking ass. But no. We can't have that. We have to have Peter Jackson shitting out love scenes between Tarial and one of the interchangeable dwarves. King Kong was also terrible despite Andy Serkis in black-face.

    If that's the "small-sized" assault rifle, where the hell is the BIG sized?

    Well that comment section should become another shit storm by tomorrow.

    Peter Jackson is literally Sarumon for what he did.

    http://youtu.be/-Xi0TeOuMgE I've got a friend's bachelor party to attend. If you see me posting here or at WoT you'll know how exciting it is.

    I'm not a believer in the whole Obi-Wan Kenobi nonsense about killing terrorists only makes more of them and if you strike them down, they'll come back more powerful. There is a finite amount of jihadists who are truly the sort that think if they die in combat they go to heaven. Kill enough of them and kill them in ways where they have no chance to even strike back and the fire begins to die real fast. Dying as a glorious martyr in an Army canteen is one thing. Getting thumped with a hellfire missile when you're cruising around in your Toyota Hi-Lux is another. This is what happened when we won (and yes we fucking won) the Iraqi Insurgency six years ago. It's only going to be a matter of time until we're back there anyway. Some ISIS member (or person "inspired" by ISIS) is going to shoot up some shopping malls or blow up the Eiffel Tower and we'll be forced to go in and sort out their hash.

    Historical buildings and artifacts have been destroyed or damaged in the Syrian Civil War for a few years now. The question is, what is going to be done about it? Nothing. Maybe the Kurds will beat them and airstrikes. *Waves hand vaguely*

    It is fatiguing to kill the enemy at 5 to 1 and 10-1 odds. Particularly when you're so busy laughing maniacally as shells bounce off your armor that you're not paying enough attention as one slips up from behind to stab shoot you in the back like some cowardly Jew.

    I think we may have finally fond a purpose for all of these tactical shotguns...

    So... Are ALL tankers this chummy?

    I'm thinking sport shooting drones because screw drone use and scum like Amazon promoting their use.

    I'm still trying to come up with a rational use for the jet pack. Other than "WEE-HAH! I'M FLYING ON A JET PACK MOTHERFUCKERS! I FEEL LIKE AN ANCIENT GREEK GOD!"

    I'm not sure if this is worthy of it's own post and lacking better options, I am leaving this here. New Zealand-based Martin Aircraft Company is already taking orders for ‘world’s first practical jetpack able to be flown by a pilot or via remote control’ The link is to a UK Guardian article but any Google search of Jet Pack will bring up dozens of recent news articles in the last 24 hours. The company website has some neato looking photos and videos. http://www.martinjetpack.com/ Including this one. The Dream of the 1960s is finally alive!

    Honestly, I mustn't have been paying attention to the opening scene. Nor have I lurked in the Walking Dead fan forums. I was probably too busy hoping that the annoying kid, wife and his idiot would get eaten by zombies.

    Out of context screenshot with a weird camera angle? The actor was holding the gun funny while delivering lines. Also I've now read five or six of these Gary Blecher articles and he seems to be one of those full of shit guys who bitches about everything.

    I think those studies are just a way to get college kids to have sex with each other... and with luck whoever is doing the research project.

    I seem to have missed the Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills when it first aired. Although by then my folks had moved us to a rural locale that didn't have cable television. Besides, when it came to camp 1990s television series with improbably long names, my tastes were more along the lines of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

    Posted Today, 10:38 PM Donward, on 22 Feb 2015 - 10:36 PM, said: To be honest, I'm far more critical of most media property - particularly television series - than that. Eh. The first couple episodes were OK with the horse and the tank thing and I was able to talk myself into watching the entire first season despite the love triangle bullshit and the annoying kid. Kicking ass with a .357 revolver and any show that has Norman Reedus in it goes a long way with me. But I stopped watching when The Farm happened and have never looked back. Which is a shame because I liked the zombie genre before it got ruined by all the hipster morons who think it's cool to dress like zombies and the survivalists/preppers. The point is NOT to be the zombies, hipsters! And survivalists/preppers. Way to use that OPSEC about preparing for the "Zombie Apocalypse". Now everyone is using the term. Why don't you post some How To Youtube videos about how to fool the guv'mint by building ARs from 80 percent lowers while you're at it since you love shooting yourselves in the foot. Shit like this is why we can't have nice things.

    Doctor Who isn't that bad. It's a little preachy at times but there are some good episodes. It's just not the life altering series that its fans make it out to be.

    I learned something today. But first the back story. My wife is something of a Doctor Who fan. I've seen random episodes of the show myself off and on for years but had never really taken the time or the effort to watch them at any length. That's now changed and I've been given a crash course of Doctor Who episodes. Thus far, I am nearly through Season 2 of the roboot and just finished the infamous "ELO episode" starring the actor Marc Warren. Now I remembered seeing his face before in some movie or television series but I couldn't place my finger on it but a little help from IMDB told me that he played Private Albert Blithe in the Carentan episode of Band of Brothers. Being curious, I looked up the real Albert Blithe and... Stephen Ambrose was yet again a shoddy historian because the real Albert Blithe did not die in 1948 after complications of being shot in the neck by a German sniper as portrayed in the HBO series and the book. No, it turned out he lived, reenlisted in the Army and attained the rank of Master Sergeant before dying in 1967. Not surprising, Ambrose was simply relying on the vague memories of old men "who coulda swore" that Blithe died, this is despite only being wounded in the shoulder and attending a 101st Division reunion and making 600 subsequent parachute jumps while serving 20 additional years in the Army. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/albert-blithe.htm
