A land bridge between The Netherlands and England? For the love of God no. There's English people there.

I have seen so much praise for Kingdom of Heaven and all I did was laugh or yell at it, usually both. It's so bad. So, so bad.
I'm sorry, you're telling me they built siege towers in the middle of the desert. Where did they get the wood??? And there's like 12 of them? And you aimed a Ballista and that took down every single one of them in one swoop? ALSO YOU ARE A SMITH APPRENTICE BUT YOU KNOW SIEGE TACTICS? AND YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT DESERT IRRIGATION WHEN YOU ARE FROM FUCKING ENGLAND? AND
I'm yelling again
And that's not to mention how deeply historically inaccurate it is at moments, like even besides all the general Hollywood of it all. Like sure they get some moments right but generally, holy shit it's bad lol
Though I will say watching Will Turner learn sword fighting from Qui-Gon only to be interrupted by Jaime Lannister was pretty funny

According to Lemmy Users: Blockchain was a grift, AI is a grift, Quantum computing will be a future grift. So according to you what new and emergent technologies are not / will not be a grift?

I think Fire and Stick have a long future ahead of them still. Also a big fan of Wheel and Stardew Valley.

Noodweer legt meer dan 350 bomen plat in Groningen: 'Het was echt heel heftig'
Benieuwd wat dit was, een downburst misschien? Lokaal zo veel schade moet toch iets geweest zijn denk ik dan. Even afgezien van 'onweer en storm' is dit lokaal veel meer schade dan elders in Nederland.
Edit: in het artikel spreekt men alleen van 'windstoten'. Ik ben dan benieuwd waarom die windstoten precies hier zo krachtig waren dat ze tot zulke schade hebben geleid.
Heb overigens zelf een keer in een downburst gezeten. Echt heel vet. Hele huis in paniek terwijl ik stond te genieten van de gierende wind en regen. De wind floot door elke kier, en zelfs uit het doucheputje. Heel bizar. En vet.

It started out a lot funnier and slowly became darker over time. I think I remember Gilligan saying this was a conscious choice, to grow darker in tone over time.
Anyway, that's what hooked a lot of people initially, and a lot of them stuck around for the drama that followed
Genuinely though the Talking Pillow scene is still my favorite. As someone who lost a dad to cancer the conversation was morbidly funny and real to me, with the pillow as a perfect set piece.

I watched the Director's cut. It is a ridiculous movie lol
Sorry but the Hollywoodisms and bad history aside, it is also just orientalist as all hell and I will hold the movie's pretense of being a historical movie against it when it is so deeply revisionist
A movie I did really enjoy was Waterloo for example. There are plenty of movies where I can forgive some artistic license. Hell, I like Chernobyl even though yes, that is also revisionist, but I understand the choices that were made. For Kingdom of Heaven though, it's clear Ridley Scott did what he is known for: putting a hatchet to real stories and chopping them down until there's nothing left.

In Amsterdam was het keiharde wind, daarna slagregens en niet-aflatende bliksem. Als een stroboscoop. Heel vet.
