Bro creative genes are inherited my dude

2019-01-31 17:55:02 UTC  

See like in Crusader Kings 2 the genius trait is pased down so the same applies here. If its percent is 25% for each child so we should be good hopefully.

Jawa that is brilliant

2019-01-31 17:57:43 UTC  

Finally another woke brotha arrives

2019-01-31 17:57:58 UTC  

Christopher Is pretty conservative with his dads work I also hope he has instilled that deep passion for it in his children

2019-01-31 18:01:52 UTC  

ehhh. CT did (could do?) nothing to prevent the mess that was tired-Jackson's Hobbit trilogy

2019-01-31 18:07:42 UTC  

Amazon put up $250M for the rights to it. I wonder how much “creative freedom” they’ve negotiated into that contract

2019-01-31 18:16:40 UTC  

I would guess "Most of it"

2019-01-31 18:21:35 UTC  

I would have permitted hobbit movies to be made after seeing lotr bro

2019-01-31 18:21:44 UTC  

Hindsight is 2020

2019-01-31 18:22:12 UTC  

Production was a disaster and Jackson probably kicks himself every day for it

2019-01-31 18:23:14 UTC  

2001-2003 LoTR films were the very best Hollywood could ever do, true. And we will not soon see their like again.

2019-01-31 18:23:39 UTC  

Nope we won’t. I’m glad we got them. Brilliant adaptations of the books.

2019-01-31 18:24:07 UTC  

I have a class with some freshmen and 9/10 have never hear of LOTR

2019-01-31 18:25:04 UTC  

Its all about Harry Potter

2019-01-31 18:25:17 UTC  

A Hayao Miyazaki "Silmarillion" could be as good. In a different way.

2019-01-31 18:26:08 UTC  

He hates the base tendencies of more popular anime, and always strives for humanity and nature in his work.

2019-01-31 18:27:12 UTC  

I watch all six movies every year around December. Got my gf to endure it with me last month for the first time. I always wondered if there would be a remake, and what it would be like. But seeing how there’s no Star Wars remake, it’s making me think there won’t be a LOTR one

2019-01-31 18:29:13 UTC  

Also, for any LOTR nerds like me, there’s a way to read the whole story in chronological order, which I’m about to do for the first time. Just bought the rest of the books. Check it out if you’d like. I’ll probably post this again in the Lit server

2019-01-31 18:29:36 UTC  

I don't think it could be much improved anyway.

2019-01-31 18:29:53 UTC  

I also watch em all yearly.

2019-01-31 18:30:15 UTC  

Yeah the way books are broken up into Frodo&Sam vs the Rest is a challenge

2019-01-31 18:32:30 UTC  

Thinking about starting my yearly read early

2019-01-31 18:32:39 UTC  

Normally I do it in the fall

2019-01-31 18:34:58 UTC  

Definitely try the chronological read if thAt sounds like something you’d be interested in

2019-01-31 18:46:02 UTC  

I never read the books, my mom told me the timelines are crazy long though, like when they're climbing Mordor, its multiple years in the book

2019-01-31 18:46:13 UTC  

I could be wrong about what she said, its been a while

2019-01-31 18:48:07 UTC  

It’s much longer in the books. The time between Frodo getting the ring and actually leaving the shire is like 17 years yeah

2019-01-31 18:50:12 UTC  

I like using this site for quick reference

2019-01-31 18:51:56 UTC  

Apparently American history from reconstruction to the modern day is now “climate change and white supremacy 102”

2019-01-31 18:53:07 UTC  

@Kingfish online course options available for non-credit? 🤔

2019-01-31 19:11:19 UTC  

So I have a professor that's an Indian lady right, but she's all about American folk lore and anti communist

2019-01-31 19:11:32 UTC  

Pretty cool haha I dig it

2019-01-31 19:23:32 UTC  

Dot or feather?

2019-01-31 19:23:39 UTC  

the anti-communist stuff seems like kind of a distraction

2019-01-31 19:23:47 UTC  

no one is seriously advocating for communism in the US

2019-01-31 19:23:56 UTC  

I mean, no one relevant
