Well it wasn't so hot plotwise or in regards to the animation quality, but the soundtrack is absolute classic - NightTorch on Youtube has a bunch of clips thereof, nice stuff, particularly Towers of the Teeth, and Bearer of the Ring.

I work from 7:30 am to 6 pm, I get up at 5 am and get home at 7:30 pm. I spend two hours a night getting ready for the next day, I have another two hours of free time, then thirty minutes later I go to bed and start over again. I sleep five to six hours a night. So yeah, not much free time.

It was pretty clear it was off course. Frodo is encouraging Orcs to slaughter Men.
Still, mindless entertainment.
That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Most people on this board get a rebate or pay nothing. They also get the entitlements. Why change anything?
You really don't much understand the tax system, do you? When you refer to "rebates", you should probably take note that even those here who DO get an income tax refund still aren't "paying nothing". For instance, if I claim zero dependents and take no deductions and no write-offs, I might *possibly* expect a small rebate at tax time. Maybe a couple hundred bucks. But that's from income taxes paid in (not payroll or Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare taxes, JUST from federal income taxes) of over $5,000.
This year, as most years, I'm paying in addition to what I already paid. Sorry, I don't receive any "rebate" or "entitlements". Although it should be noted that those who own homes and those who have children DO get rebates and entitlements. There's your socialism!

I finished college in 4 years, I think that was a good length of time, I wouldn't have had the stammina to do it quicker. I didn't figure out what exactly I wanted to do until the end of the last year so I'm glad I had that time.

Hello,
Given that both platoons are from the armies of Mordor, it never bothered me at all. He essentially encouraged one troop of enemy soldiers to fight another group of enemy soldiers.

I was also mocking American Business Ethics, in that they get you up to your ass in debt before you see the trap for what it is, and then using that debt as a whip...
But yes, I was also throwing hints, sure.
