  • That's not how planetary collisions work.

    Earth's core is a solid ball of iron-nickel alloy as hot as the surface of the sun. Not even a huge asteroid could just go through it and come out the other side.

  • Yep, they also made me want to rewatch X-Files and Twin Peaks, two obvious inspirations (plus Stephen King particularly The Dark Tower, another kind of house that is the linchpin of universes).

    I can also recommend The Lost Room mystery series from 2006. It's use of magical, but mundane objects and a timeless hotel room also seems to have been a direct inspiration.

  • I never played Alan Wake through to the end until recently when I got the second one.

    Then I played through the first one, followed by Control including the DLCs and then Alan Wake 2. I can't recommend this enough, it's an incredible ride.

  • I'd say Tolkien is a bit inconsistent in how he portrays elves. In The Hobbit, they are more like frolicking, dancing and singing pixies and in LotR they are more ethereal and aloof like fey.

    Jackson chose to stick to the fey aspect.

  • He's more and more openly using fascist rhetoric right out of Hitler's playbook too. That the only book we know he owns is one with Hitler's speeches is just conincidence I'm sure. (Not that he can read, but maybe the Saw puppet reads it to him now before going down on his mushroom.)

  • Walz just has to be himself and he will vastly outclass any pathetic attempts at appearing charismatic that Vance will be trying to conjure up.

    Then Vance will repeat Trump's bullshit but more coherent and Walz will talk actual policy, probably appearing like the well-meaning teacher talking to the problem kid in class.
