  1. I don't know I kind of like the destruction. It could add some serious depth to the story if they handle it appropriately in the inevitable sequels (looks like its going to be a pretty huge blockbuster).

     

    Is anyone familiar with the comic book Invincible? This EXACT thing happens at the end of the first major arc. At first it just looks like a cool set piece for super heroes to fight through-massive destruction, buildings falling, etc. but it turns into a major part of the story as it continues.

     

    Maybe the Snyder Trilogy? Is a story about Superman BECOMING the protector of humanity, with bumps along the way.

     

    Or maybe it was just a stupid plot hole that they'll never address and they just used it because it looked cool.

  2. Regarding your spoiler, I think it was him realizing he just probably ended his entire race, not the killing part.

     

    I could be wrong.

     

    Also, Yes, Very freaking loud. Which I usually hate, but I just must have been in a really good mood or something because I was all on board for this one.

  3. I mock these people to their faces as well, but I'm sure they would be glad to know that an anonymous forum member on a star wars website is anonymously sticking up for their anonymous crazy assed thoughts.

     

    Anyway, someone just posted a picture of Paul Ryan with light shining down from above and a halo over his head. I just don't know how to copy images using the iPad.

  4. Third gem:

     

    "no major news network ever questioned obamas qualifications to be president. Dick Cheney had the GALL to say Sarah Palin wasn't prepared to be vice president. In today's political environment being a "dog catcher" is a good enough qualification as long as you can speak well, promise people things, and party like a rock star. The media is questioning Romneys finances? Are you kidding me? They want him to produce 10 years of tax returns? The same ***holes said NOTHING about Obamas associations, his radical past let alone didn't ask for his original birth certificate for almost 3 years into his term. We still dont know anything about him. Everything major record of him is sealed including his college transcripts but NO, the media won't question the DARLING. I freaking HATE these people. Their FREAKING WORTHLESS. And don't say people like Hannity and Limbaugh, they're not news anchors, they are commentators. I'm talking about ABC, NBC, and CBS...

  5. This is where I would like to share with my Internet friends some of the crazy assed **** that my mostly college-educated, middle to upper-middle class, Midwestern, white friends and family post on Facebook...

     

    Feel free to comment on the particular status updates, share your own, or comment on the real point of this thread, which is: How in the holy f*ck can otherwise intelligent people be so ****ing crazy and uninformed when it comes to politics and what does that mean?

     

    To start us off, here are three gems from today:

     

    From a wealthy small business owner:

     

    "WE the patriots of America DEMAND you release your COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS mr. obama. What the F... Are you hiding sir? Why did you spend $40000000 to seal them sir? That's a lot of money coming from a community organizer. Liberals, why arent you asking these questions?"

    From a middle school English teacher:

     

    "As I was entering the voting booth now, I actually thought to myself, how much longer before I lose this right? That's sad."

    More to come...

  6. Couple points of clarification here:

     

    Guiness is ****ing delicious and LESS caloric than PBR (which tases like dog piss). Guiness 126 Calories, Pabst 144 - So, basically, Krawlie can go fist himself.

     

    Boondocks Saints is terrible, so, Duke can go help Krawlie fist himself.

     

    Ireland is a great place to go on vacation. It's like a bunch of friendly people who are just ****faced all the time.

  7. Wow Mandard, I feel like I usually agree with you, but we couldn't have more differing opinions...

     

    I thought it was great, on par with the first 3...

     

     

     

    No offense to you two, but if you think Jon Snow is dead and gone. you haven't been paying close enough attention.

     

    Martin been setting this thing up for quite some time. Every time Mel asks the fire God to see her king (who she assumes is Stannis) he shows her Jon Snow. Azor Ahhai or whatever his name is. Jon is AA. This was the Jesus on the cross moment we've been waiting for. He even did it in an epic Julius Caesar fashion. Et tu Bowen Marsh!? The prologue tells us how Jon is going to save his consciousness by warging into Ghost for a while and avoid the pitfalls of his crazy bitch step mom zombie. Mel is going to go all Beric Dondarrion on his body and voila! you have a Jon Snow who has literally died and is no longer bound to the Night's Watch who can go whip some Ramsay Bolton ass and become Jon Stark/Azor Ahhai defender of all that is good and heir to Winterfell!! YAR!! He'll probably even marry Val and unite the wildlings with the North. Of course a lot of that is wishful thinking, but I've never been more certain that a character is coming back than I am here.

     

    I wish I had the time to copy and paste all of the previous prophecy stuff that Martin has layed out regarding AA, but there is so much that supports Jon Snow and explicitly details this death scene that it is unavoidable. Go read the westeros.org message boards if you are actually interested in this stuff. Everytime someone uncovers some new clue in the text I have that much more respect for Martin's skills.

     

    Particularly, the bleeding star, smoke, and salt references. Also, Melissandre seeing him go from Man, to wolf, and BACK to man...

     

    I loved Theon's arc in this book. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I am obsessed with the Bolton's. I hate them, but I love it when they are on camera, Ramsay has such horrible, horrible charisma...

     

    I thought the Prince Aegon was a little bit of an asspull, but I'm okay with it as it stands now, I just hope it goes somewhere that flows organically and doesn't become some sort of Deus Ex Machina...

     

    Jon Connington seems great, I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him.

     

    Barristan is a wonderful POV, very happy about that.

     

    I actually did not see the Quentyn death coming at all, so kudos on the shock value there.

     

    Ser Robert Strong - ooo I just can't wait!!!

     

    Love Love Love Wun Wun the angry giant.

     

    I thought Tyrion was pretty boring in all honesty. His act is getting a little tiresome for me.

     

    And finally, the Dany/Mereenese Knot thing was not handled as efficiently as I would have liked. It's taking SOO long. And finally as the climax seems to be approaching... tune in next time friends. Weak.

     

     

     

    Overall I loved it, and while it may have stalled a little, I think everyone is pointed in the right direction for what is going to be an epic final two chapters.

  8. No kidding. That was a shocker.

     

    This isn't really a spoiler so I'll just say it. I'm only around 550 in to the book, but I absolutely love how the bad guys seem to have over looked just how much people in the North LOVE the Starks. Martin is amazing, there is just this constant humming beneath the surface where the Northmen are just kind of going through the motions but deep down they are fiercely loyal to the Stark kids.

     

    Wylla Manderly = best new character

  9. Cap's costume is different in that poster. I've really grown to love the military/straps look of the movie. Not sure how I feel about a more traditional take now. That's crazy right? LOL

     

    Anyway, NEATO! I'm sure there are people wondering who the Purple Archer Dude is however.

    Not if they saw Thor. What is his superhero name though? Just curious...
