Another thing was very well done. In the fantasy genre, the dwarves are always the race that builds the best weaponry. The scene stays true to that with that counter measure weapon used by the dwarves to cut those incoming elven arrows out of the sky. Dwarven ingenuity at its best.

My favorite movie scene?
Easy as pie.
I took my then wife on base to see Fantasia, and as it was playing, this five year old kid, said to his mother. What the fuck is this, this is not a Disney movie!

Speaking of 'fantasias', that's not how any five year old speaks :roll:

Well then you do not know Texans, that is exactly what went down.
I know if I ever did that, I would not be able to walk for a week.
Or it could have happened in Denver. It was 55 years ago.

I spent a whole year in Aurora Denver, learning Electronics, 8hr a day 5 days a week.

Basic at Lackland, 1 year in Aurora, 1 year back in Texas, Bergstrom, 1 year Thaland, 1 year South Carolina.
Electronics on the F4s and the C130 gunships.

I loved the Texas Rain and Lightning. I once had a scorpion charge me while working under my car there.

At dawn, sunrise, all the prairie dogs would come out near the flight line to watch the sun come up.

Penia once cought 2 large tarantulas on the xway and brought them into the shop, to see which one would kill the other.
It did not take long, one made a quick jump and just waited.

I hope you didn't add the word "fuck" into that to make it sound better, Phil. You gotta swear on your momma's grave that that kid said 'fuck' or I ain't believin' it.

No, I did not, that was what was so memorable about it. I never heard that kind of talk from a kid that was literally carried into the show. This little kid actually yelled at his mother.

When it came time to ship over to Thailand, there was this married couple. They had an arrangement. He made his money she made hers. Well, he was held up, it seems that since their baby was unemployed, someone forgot to buy food for it, and he had charges to face before he got to Thailand. You travel around you see some really weird shit.

When I was into photography, I did stills on abandoned places and abandoned people. I made my own contact printer, out of aircraft scrap. '
I did a process of a shot I did in Thailand of a man squatting under a huge tree on a hill. Then I kept splitting its contrast with the printer I made, unit, it came out and looked like silhouette of a man suspended in air next to this huge tree smoking a cigarette. A couple years latter, an article appeared in a photo mag about the process.
One of the rules of the photo contest was they got to keep the photos, so I don't know if it was ever published or not. But it did place. The idea was, using normal contrast paper, you can choose where to split it using contact printing. You do not have that option with high contrast paper or film.

Hear that, Biggs? Who's this guy remind you of? The Golden Turd. The intellectual tinkering MacGyver type that's either plotting the geomorphic course of crystal development in pressurized amethyst or building printers out of old artillery. Always the smartest guy in whatever room he's in and can't hold a normal conversation without referring to the pre-socratics at least once. Rest of the guys'll hang around em at the barracks but they feel awkward and uneasy. Wtf is Phil gonna say next. And tell the new guy not to touch his typewriter or that HAM radio he's been fuckin with for three days or Phil will throw a fit and get us all mess hall duty for a week.

I am willing to bet you do not even know what a contact printer is.

A kid can make one.
The difference I did with it, is that you do not have to work with negatives, you can use paper face to face. the bottom paper, the one you are copying acts as a light defuser.

See? There he goes. I'm already leaving the tent because I feel stupid for not knowing what a contact printer is. In fact, I'm not even sure about this whole thing anymore and would like to talk to division shrink about going back to the states.

Might Mouth to save the day. Why don't you tie on your cape, and Canaveral it? There was a time, when making one's own contact printer was a school project.

I bet you ask all the boys that.

If you promise to wear a full body condom, and chain a couple cinder blocks around your ankles, I know just where to drop you off.

Oh yeah? Well, my moms once went to a James Brown concert by pure chance wearing the same thing as him, and the godfather of soul pointed her out in the audience. The hardest working man in showbiz hailed my moms. The papa with a brand new bag, the supabad sex machine. Don't believe it?

Also. At the very end of the first one when Sam and Frodo just split and are starting their way to Mordor. That little chat they had. We love this so much because it's a perfection we will never attain. That's why you almost cry. It isn't every day (hell it isn't any day in this world) that a Sam swears a vow to protect a Frodo, and a Frodo expresses his love for a Sam. When a conversation like that happens right before you begin a perilous journey to do a thing so bloody important that everybody dies if you fail and you might even die yourself trying to do it and you're a hobbit... no, magnificence like that could never be attained in this world.

We wish we could be hobbits. That's the truth of the matter. You won't admit it, but you do. Even the biggest burliest smelliest right-wing weight lifting Steve Gannon Jordan Peterson watchin' nazi's among you would like to be hobbits. Either in the shire or standing nervously on a mountain about to head to Mordor.
