The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

To be perfectly honest, I know my own version of fandom can confuse others too!

I have no ragrets about my Elminster face tattoo.

I'm tempted to start googling up Edna Stumpf book reviews when I want to avoid work.

This one is from one about the Danielle Steel novel Daddy: "Ms. Steel plays with the themes of love and work like a child with a Barbie doll. She strips a life down, only to dress it up in billows of her famous free-associative prose, as scattered with commas as a Bob Mackie gown is with bugle beads."

The start of the one about Bradley's Mists of Avalon: "This is a book that needs to be written. It did not, however need to be 876 pages long. And in answer to your next question: no, it does not need to be read." The last sentence is: "Somebody should still write it."

It’s clear a lot of people never watched Ratatouille or completely failed to understand one of its main points.

That John Lassater viewed himself as a misunderstood genius on the level of Walt Disney, and that his genius makes it OK for him to be inappropriate with women under his authority...?

That Ego, the useless food critic, is the most appropriately named character in history, he’s really a scared child longing for the “peasant” food his mommy made him as a boy, and that a literal rat is more able to produce something of value (i.e. food) than he is.

So, yes, John Lassater's self-aggrandizing.

You can enjoy D&D without much liking most Fantasy fiction. I do.

Heh. I've run into that many times. A buddy I play with is a HUGE Tolkien fan and was... vocal about his reaction to the Amazon series. When I commented that I couldn't even finish the Similarian (sp) and wasn't really even a huge fan of fantasy in general, he was utterly flabbergasted. When I pointed out that in my opinon the Amazon series was fun, beautifully filmed and a pretty good story, he was... again, vocal in his reactions.

I tore through the Silmirand the History of Middle Earth stuff in Middle school, and I agree with you about the show. Heck, Simon Tolkien picked that pitch because he thought his grandfather would appreciate that it was essentially an original story, and I think that's right on.

Old Hotness: How dare WoTC make any changes to 5e without naming it a new edition?
