Lord Of The Suicide Squads

“They’re taking the hobbits to Iron Heights!”

There’s a Suicide Squad movie coming soon.  It even has trailers.

There was a beloved series of Lord of the Rings movies.

What if someone somehow combined the two?

See the video after the  cut.

Thug Notes: The Fellowship Of The Ring

Only part one so far…

The Internet is awash with literary criticism.  Sometimes the critics even use their whole ass.

I’ll let that sink in for a minute…

My favorite YouTube critic, Spanky Sweets, is actually rather good at criticism, so let’s see what he has to say about The Fellowship of the Ring after the cut…

The Eye Of (Fire Pit) Sauron Is Upon You!

BEHOLD! THE EYE OF SAURON! Look away!! Look away!! You fool, you will get us all killed! Just kidding. But, isn’t this fire pit amazing! Yes, it’s a fire pit. How cool is that? Everything about this is amazing. From the elven script of the “one ring” at the bottom, to the delicately crafted nasguls circling the frame, all that way up the eye that pierces your heart and steals your soul. Imagine Metal Art is the genius behind this and other amazing fire pits. See more of the above and where to get one after the break:

Tropebusting! One Thing I Dig About The Song Of Ice And Fire

My wife is, as I have often said, not a Geek.  She doesn’t like superheroes, Star Wars, science fiction, or a host of other things that routinely appear on this site.  She has two exceptions.  One is YA distopias.  We always go see a new Hunger Games movie.  Actually, that’s the only one she’s really interested in.  She watched The Maze Runner but wasn’t overly impressed.

Her other, bigger weakness is high fantasy.  If it’s based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, she’ll be there.  She loves Harry Potter.  And, though it took me a lot of effort to convince her to give it a shot, she goes for Game of Thrones in a big way.  Why did it take me so long to get her into that one?  Well, I had to sell it for what it was:  the opposite of Tolkien, and in a good way.
