Those are the basic problems with it that I'm aware of, I'm sure there're tons more reasons that people more familiar with the books and all the details missing from the movies can point out.

That’s the main thing but also the Eagles were not immune to the power of the Ring. Even with no all-seeing-eye or flying felbeats, Gandalf would’ve told them “Fly over the Crack of Doom” and the eagle would’ve said “could do that... alternatively I could shake you all off my back and steal the Ring from your corpses!”

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Could someone explain the pillows one? I’ve seen the movies, but don’t really get what’s funny about that at all.

And tbh I’ve always sort of wondered why they didn’t just fly the eagles there. Like, I know it’s a meme and would mean no story at all but still.. it’s a valid point.

Man I'm lucky no one's making poo poo about the Simarillion and that they got made into movies to begin with. I'm sure I tried at least a dozen times from Middle to High School to read them but there's like 40 pages of just the scenery and I just couldn't do it.

The start of the silmarillion is just creationist gibberish. All the good stories in the book have been published in a better form elsewhere by now.

There's some fun ideas, like the world originally being flat (or maybe bowl-shaped) and then turned into a sphere.

Also Gandalf explains that the eagles aren’t necessarily interested in men’s affairs and had little interest in being an active participant in the war. Much like the ents and the hobbits, as a whole.

Which is why they (and the ents and the hobbits) all participate at the end because that’s how story arcs work.

Probably because there’s a walkway from the house to the turret on top of it.

Surely you would not take the picture at the perfect angle and time of day to show the wall joists through whatever you faced it with? It's like your house is starving.

Its a lovely stucco job op. The lines are control joints that are supposed to keep it from cracking and should be present at minimum every 144 square ft. So if you have a large flat area next to windows (typical), you place the control joints to prevent cracking of the large area, and continue them as architectural elements in the smaller areas divided by windows.

Two problems here: first, his hosed up window design means hosed up control joint layout because poo poo doesn’t line up properly or with any sort of cohesive design. Second, the work is janky as gently caress—the control joints are probably done lovely but it’s hard to tell from the artifacting of the image...but look at the turret. That left side of the front wall near the corner is so dimpled it looks like back of an obese persons leg. His house has cottage cheese thighs for walls.

And to be honest that is probably the best time of day and angle he could get. Go there earlier in the morning and from a more offset angle and the shadows cast by that light are gonna show every single wobble in those walls.



And this, what, why...EIFS bands and window surrounds (the raised rectangles) on this side but wood casement windows and no EIFS bands on the other. And the vertical placement of the horizontal EIFS bands...they bisect (or not) the windows at different heights and none of them line up...like what the gently caress why, why wouldn’t you do them the same.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

e: also the placement of the exhaust vent makes no loving sense unless his ceiling is lower than the windows and underground your electrical secondary you cheap gently caress goddamn sorry for the long post in the meme thread

If the Ringwraiths always feel the presence of the ring, why didn’t they realize they were 10 feet away from it?
