See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Hmm.

You know, we do *have* people who do reviews as more than just a hobby on the board. Just a thought.

Well, sure, ita. But you'd have to know the critic to take their opinon, wouldn't you? On food, film, fun.

I'd just have to have some knowledge of the critic. I wouldn't take Joe Critic's word for something unless I'd previously read Joe Critic's work, found that Joe Critic and I agreed on things X, Y, but not Z, and then made my will I or won't I based on a combination of what Joe Critic had said before and my own pre-existing opinions about the subject or food type.

I'm not asking for an apology, ted, I just don't understand why film critics are any more or less worthy of contempt (again, your word) than you, or me, or anybody else who reviews a film.

Is it because they have an opinion, or because some of them get paid to give it?

Thanks for all the fish.

That's what I meant by 'know the critic'.

Powers of ultimate evil are supposed to be tall, I think it's in the rules. How else can one loom effectively?

I'm going to tell Clovis you said that ...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The tall conflicts with the sneaking, though. Also, it's a bit of a tell.

I suppose you can also loom if your owner holds you up really high...

You've met Jilli, right?

In Jilli's case, I'm using "high" as a very relative term. As in "higher than Clovis would be able to loom on his own."

Aha.

And, he can be lobbed, which is more than you can safely say for Mr. Lee.

Yes, with lobbing, I'm sure Clovis can acheive quite a great, if very temporary, looming height.
