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.
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?
I'd just have to have some knowledge of the critic.
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 ...
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.

Just a quick step through this one on my way to talking about evil and looming and stuff, but IIRC the contempt came from the prevalence of a specific kind of negative review. Namely, the 'I don't get it, so there must be nothing to get' kind which, as attitudes go is a pretty reprehensible one. Maybe it just comes down to how much or little of that sort of thing a given person perceives, and how much it rankles. KaPWING!
So, about this evil looming thing, while I'm pretty sure that CL is taller, I wouldn't say that equates automatically to bigger. I think it's possible to loom wide as well as tall.
Man, I'm so getting the stomping suspicion that Arwen is going to bug the holy hell out of me this time out.
