  • The more detailed pictures will be of these type of objects(stars),
    the harder it will be to ignore their large sizes
    and thus theories about them.

    Too many of these space objects are not behaving as they should have,
    and so any crutch theories about them will be crushed.

    Stars simply don’t work the way we think they do.
    Planetary and star formation simply doesn’t work the way we currently think they do.

    And the clearer the pictures are of these space objects,
    the more clear it becomes that what scientists theorized
    of what they thought they were looking at, just isn’t it.

    One of them that should have alarmed scientists,
    but hasn’t, is how comets suspiciously look like asteroids,
    pure rock, while they should have looked very icy with
    some dust sprinkled on them.
    You might even say that they look the same, but are just
    traveling in different orbits.
    And that would explain why the Philae lander’s harpoons
    wasn’t able to penetrate “the ice” and instead bounced back.


  • Diva covers of songs that don’t fit the emotional tone of the song because they’re too busy showing off their vocal cords.
    And people who love these songs.

    I can’t currently think of any particular women responsible for this,
    or particular songs, but I’m quite sure it must have been Christmas song covers,
    turning “Jingle Bells” into Aretha Franklin’s “Dr. Feelgood”.
    The only particular song I can come up with, is Michael Bublé’s “cry me a river”
    and whoever plays the instruments during his version,
    so this is not just a mostly female phenomena.

    [edit] I’m pretty sure it’s Ariane Grande now.
    Great singer but not very adaptable.
    And probably missing the point of Mariah Carey’s christmas song popularity,
    the original one as I’ve just seen newer Hallmark music video
    where the video theme no longer matches the song.

    To me my physical attraction to women is:
    face > weight > length > waist/hip ratio > Breast shape > nipple shape > size of nipples/boobs > jiggle.

    I’m not attracted to a woman that has the body of a regular rock,
    lamppost or dishwasher or I’d be physically attracted to those things.
    So the way your body looks is very important for physical male attraction,
    but I would say that the bar currently is low for male attraction in general.

    I don’t think breast shape is ever a deal breaker for the vast majority of men, at least not for me, but it does bring in attention.
    They’re at chest level and can take up a good portion of the body,
    so they’re quite difficult to ignore, especially if they’re large.

    The right size is only a small bonus and the bigger they are, the more attention it brings.
    Jiggle also brings more attention to them, but size is more important as it (falsely?) implies easier arousal.

    They’re also soft, thus very kissable and there’s nipples on them that can indicate and entice arousal.

    Yet I’m no longer allowed to post on lemmygrad for saying that the US democrat party has been taken over by olifeminists and transsexualists, while the republican party is now occupied by olimachoists and zionists. They are no longer left and right, just right and right.

    I’m still allowed to post here though.




  • I thought it was a huge disappointment, most of all due to the CG.

    • Everything looks hueless, often with only a few colors, with weird light angles and enemies often shown as a blur. As if it was made to put everyone on the same level as those who are colorblind and visiually impaired.
    • Soundtrack was a dissonance of what went on on screen.
    • The towns and villages were beautifully animated and showed wide shots of them, so one could be sure that they were missing any signs of food production or water sources.
    • The world did not just look dry in color, but also literally dry. Especially the shire which gives it a plastic feel to it.

    All of those put together made me feel it was taking place on a pre-dinosaur earth or not yet fully terraformed planet Mars, rather than a place of fantasy and wonder.

    And Saruman’s death was absent in the theatrical cut. One of the most important parts of the story was simply cut out.





  • To answer the question:

    1. She didn’t know she was going to die on that bed.
    2. She was asked to tell the story to researchers wanting to find a jewel.
    3. She got caught up in her story.

    Perfectly normal.

    Now for what is not normal is that Rose is extremely coldhearted and selfish throughout the entire story, even when she’s telling the story from her perspective and one of her only redeeming qualities that she has is that she’s not Cal. But remember, this is HER version of the story. Imagine how the perspectives could have been wildly different from hers.
    Anyway in HER version of the story…:

    1. Rose denies her husband and children her wealth.
      She never told anyone about it and throws away the jewel
      that could have been extremely useful for her children or grandchildren.
      Their tuition, medical expenses, you name it.
      Not to mention it would have given the researchers
      closure to all of their efforts to find this treasure,
      which we now know will be fruitless.
      And she’s did it with glee, saying “Oops” with a smile.
      Oh yeah, spite those researchers and your children granny!
      We’ve really seen how awful they are, especially her children.
      And if she hated her own children, she could have given the money to charity.
      Or she could have given it to Jack’s family. But I guess the family of a hobo
      would never appreciate such a gift.
    2. Rose killed Jack.
      She never regretted having hogged the wreckage that could have saved Jack’s life.
      Mythbusters proved that the life vests could have been used to give the wreckage more
      bouyancy that would have kept them both afloat.
      They could have taken turns on that wreckage. She could have given him her life vest.
      She could have stayed on the life boats, then Jack would have had the wreckage on his own.
      She could have traded herself in for Jack since she was the idiot having made the dumb decision of leaving the lifeboat.
      Jack died through her actions and for 70 years until her death this never occured to her.
      Not to mention, since she went on the life boat, she’s responsible for taking a seat that could have been taken by another person. A child, a man, a lady. That person would have survived.
      Or it could have been her maid Trudy, who died on the ship because there wasn’t enough space on the life boats.
    3. Rose flips on her secret lover When Jack is being framed by her fiancée of being a thief,
      she lets him down by believing her fiancée’s lies,
      despite her telling Jack that she trusts him.
      I guess not.
      This almost gets Jack killed at an earlier time.
    4. Rose knows that through her cheating, she is accidentally responsible for every single one of those deaths of that happened on the Titanic, including children and babies and doesn’t regret that at all.
      She could have felt guilt for not communicating clearly to Cal that this isn’t working out.
      That she made a mistake by going on board with this ship.
      But instead she secretly runs off, kisses Jack on deck, which distracts of couple of crew members that were specifically there to watch the sea for icebergs. She could have felt guilty for not having kissed in a more more private area.
      She could have felt guilty for cheating in the first place.
      And when her fiancée finds out that she’s cheating with him, she just reacts coldly towards him, to which he flips the table in rage and slaps her… in HER version of the story.
    5. She doesn’t let her mother know that she’s alive.
      She lets no one know that she’s alive after the Titanic sunk. That includes her own mother.
      Instead she takes up the last name of the man she killed. Creepy.
      Speaking of her mother,
      when Rose lights up a cigarette and blows smoke close to her mother’s face, her mother asks Rose to please stop doing that, you know I don’t like that,
      She then responds to fully blowing smoke into her mother’s face.
      Disrespectful.
    6. Her last thoughts before she dies are of her dancing with Jack.
      Not of her husband she lived 70 years with.
      Not of her children, not of her grandchildren.
      Just a hobo she had a fling with for two days… that she killed… among a thousand others.
      And she doesn’t think of her husband and children and grandchildren during those last,
      she doesn’t think of them during the entire movie. Never. Not once do we see them.
      What we do see are eight pictures on her nightstand. Every single one of them are of herself.
      Herself.

    Now I said ‘one of her few redeeming qualities’ because she another one.
    That is that she was 17 at the time,
    and being played by a 20 year old Kate Winslet that’s a bit difficult to see.
    However, even 17 year olds would be more responsible as she acts like a 13 year old,
    since that’s what her character is actually based on, 13-year old Juliet from Romeo and Juliet.
    But as much as this would have redeemed Rose’s actions on the boat as a teenager,
    those reflections should have hit the Rose the grandma to put things into perspective.
    That didn’t happen.
