Watching Dragonslayer. Tyrian here is a perfect Lawful-Evil character. He's totally ruthless and a dick, but his first loyalty is to the kingdom. When the king wants to bend the rules, Tyrian refuses him.
And the king is Neutral, trying to protect the status quo with the lottery. The princess is Lawful-Good, sacrificing herself when she finds out she hasn't been in the lottery. Galen is Chaotic Good, not ever thinking about the consequences of his actions, but trying to do the right thing.
Wil McKinnee there are so many great things about it. One of my favorites is everyone converting to Christianity then letting God take the credit for killing the dragon instead of Galen and Ulric and Valerian.
Craig Brasco this movie pioneered a stop motion effect that blurred the frames of the Dragon so that it appeared to have a much smoother motion. It still looks wonderful years later.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
I thought that this was a great movie.
