Want to know why so many Trad Christians hate Mormons? Because we’re better Christians than them.

One of the things Lucas likes to do is "meld" scenes together using subtle match cuts. Here, Padmé's eyes seem to be tracking Anakin's motion in the next shot. This is part of the larger point of the sequence, which ironically juxtaposes Palpatine's promises of peace with the brutal reality required to maintain it, a reality Padmé is among the few to grasp.

I genuinely can’t understand how the previous generation saw this in 2005 and said “this sucks”

Submitted today! Following a few years of rigorous peer-review, and working with Tolkien scholars globally! - 44 chapters - 46 Tolkien scholars globally - over 280K words overall Still tons of work to do as proofs arrive, but this feels like a moment to pause and celebrate. ☺️

I’m actually grieving here. You have no right to dictate to others how to properly grieve.

Tell me your opinion on LOTR which will have everyone react to you like this...

I'm sure this will be controversial, but I believe that Lord of the Rings the book is inferior to Peter Jackson's movies. Tolkien has a tendency to make interesting things dull, and to leave the most interesting events off-screen, such as the Paths of the Dead. He includes scenes which stop the narrative dead in its tracks. To me, Tom Bombadil, Ghan-buri-Ghan, and the lengthy "let's all praise Galadriel" sections add nothing to the plot. His songs and poems are cringy as heck. I suppose if you were raised in Edwardian Britain poetry was seen as more manly. Tolkien also threw in some dumb deux ex machinas, such as when every single orc in Cirith Ungol kills every other orc. Or when Aragorn, all by himself, defeats 5 ringwraith at once. Petr Jackson gives us back the Paths of the Dead, and he adds humor and joy to the tale. His additions (Lurtz, the warg-riders) were solid. I admit he could have done nothing without Tolkien's great foundation. You are welcome to condemn me for my terrible taste. But I DID read Tolkien, and enjoyed it. I am fully aware that Tolkien has some extremely powerful episodes, such as Mines of Moria, the Dead Marsh, Shelob, and Denethor's fall. I can like Tolkien, yet not place him on some kind of super-high platform above James Branch Cavell, Charles Williams, C. S. Lewis, Lord Dunsany, and George MacDonald, who were more or less Tolkien's peers as early 20th century fantasy authors. Bring it. I invite you to prove me wrong. I'll even admit it if I feel your proofs are worthy enough. But you'll need more than a simple "Nuh-uh" or "Well Lovecraft sucked too."

Under my fath my potential is unlimited. Why would I leave that for a faith where my potential is finite? If I leave I am leaving for a higher spiritual plane, not a lower one.

Wasting taxpayer dollars because they’re offended by a rainbow

Kai Cenat kept having to look up what certain words meant during his reading journey to become a better speaker 😭

Anything you say, any link you post, any video you post, is never going to convince me that the Book of Mormon is not true But by all means keep trying! I’m just warning you that you are wasting your time

They all laughed about Kirk, who's laughing now?
