c/p from wiki:quote:In 1819, with the idea of isolating himself, he bought a country house by the Manzanares river just outside of Madrid. It was known as the Quinta del Sordo (roughly, "House of the Deaf Man", titled after its previous owner and not after Goya himself). There he created the Black Paintings with intense, haunting themes, reflective of the artist's fear of insanity, and his outlook on humanity. Several of these, including Saturn Devouring His Son, were painted directly onto the walls of his dining and sitting rooms. imagine locking eyes with that thing every morning over your oatmeal and coffee.

You Am I posted:It owns hard. It is great to see how they bring Sherlock's mannerisms into a modern environment without him looking like a huge sperg. Love that series and can't wait for the next 3 episodes, which should be soon. okay, that's a problem. a fundamental part of sherlock holmes is that he's a borderline-autistic and insufferably pedantic rear end in a top hat with a deep-seated inferiority complex.

Kirk posted:if a truly intelligent voice arose among the collective, they would just transport an explosive device directly into the core of the death star and knock it out of commission immediately - but since they never attempt that during encounters with ships in the star trek universe, i doubt they would here. also even if they lost the cube but got drones aboard the death star, it would be worth it - a borg assimilated death star cruising around the galaxy would be an unstoppable force. why would they teleport an explosive in if they're after the technological distinctiveness? also, the force is an organic effect brought about by midichlorians, therefore all it takes is an attempted assimilation of a single force-sensitive and all of a sudden you've got superpowered borg flying around

Kirk posted:the writers of first contact and voyager basically didn't understand what the borg were. they weren't some character driven enemy, but rather they were supposed to be presented as more of a force of nature that was neither good nor evil, like some sort of natural disaster that came and went. the borg are a hell of a way to introduce a 7-year old to the concept of existential horror.

and then in the last chapter new characters from the prequels show up magic away the bad guys, making absolutely everything that happened in books 4-6 meaningless.

SRQ posted:I thought the dune prequels were both terrible horseshit and interesting, the robot guys made a good antagonist and the war was cool. nearly every single plot thread petered out, dramatic developments were regularly neutered of any impact, and the characters were paper-thin caricatures of human beings. and then they write sequels that could have started with every original character just dropping dead, and it wouldn't have made any difference to how the books play out. getting mad about sandworms... that live in water!

you get the water of life when you drown a worm, because water fucks their poo poo up. no, the bherb/kjand sequels literally added ocean-faring sandworms for whom water ain't no thing.

it was a mix of film and tape for the first few seasons; film was used for raw footage and the ship models, while tape was used for visual effects. why do i still know that.

most of the heavy lifting is done already (ship models and major effects on film), so i imagine the rest is just fancy post-processing?

according to bherb kejand, baron harkonnen wasn't a self-made caricature of his own gluttony and lack of self-control. he was actually quite handsome! what happened is that he raped a bene gesserit and she gave him an std. later he tried to attack them but they all turned invisible.
