    ...while watching Krull cyclops dude says fire-mares can travel 1000 leagues in a day and you just have to figure that out. On land a league is 3.462 miles which means they have to go 3,462 miles which assuming 24 hours of travel is 144.25 mph or just shy of 90 kph. If they only traveled for 12 hours that'd be 288.5 mph.

    You double check the exact wording of your quote before putting it the random movie/TV quotes thread and then get stuck reading a reddit thread about what the title 'the lord of all horses' means and whether its technically correct to the book.

    My boyfriend and I have movie nights every couple weeks and they are always Star Wars movies. We have seen 1-6 and the Rise of Skywalker.

    When you're watching Lilo and Stitch: The series on Disney+ with your younger sister and realise that every time a laser is fired the sound effect of Han's DL-44 from A New Hope plays.

    Or you quote a line by Bane saying, "Nobody cared who I was before I put on the mask."

    When you wonder to yourself if wearing something like this would constitute as wearing a mask.

    So today I saw a guy at work come in wearing a shirt. Not just any shirt mind you. It was a Dune shirt, which let's be honest, is not on people's radar. It was a Surf Arrakis shirt.

    That is honestly awesome. I talked with the guy for a bit. He talked how he saw the original movie in theaters as a kid. Him and his friends were thinking it was a scifi movie like Star Wars [face_laugh]

    But he's looking forward to the new movie. So that's cool

    There are probably a lot of people currently working from home that are wearing their pajamas all day.. Probably not a good look if you are expecting a delivery though.
