It's always been so funny to me that the Council of Elrond is literally just a meeting of people who have showed up in Rivendell with different problems and just happened to do so at more or less the same time. They didn't gather there to discuss the Ring, the future of the Middle Earth or the rise of Sauron.
Nope. Each of them have faced An Issue and decided to ask Elrond for help.
Poor Elrond. He managed to avoid the kingship, but not becoming a parent figure for almost everyone in the Middle Earth.

Highlights from the Talk is Jericho Podcast w/Brendon Small and Gene Hoglan
Listen to the podcast here
Hatredcopter was the first song that Gene and Brendon ever worked together, recorded, and completed in an entire day.
How Brendon came up with Pickles and Nathan - What is the least metal name I can think of?
Toki Wartooth - Tommy or Brendon's name frome Viking name generator. Toki is like a child. Infantilized. (yes Brendon literally said this.) rhythm guitarist, but he's the darkest character.
Skwisgaar's had so much sex he doesn't like sexual things and looks for non-sexual things to get horny from.
Nathan is the guy who can never find the right girl. He's always going for the wrong thing.
Murderface is probably an incel.
Pickles has been around the block. This is his second band. He has a whole history of being in bands.
Part of producing the show is to mind the budget. They charge you by the frame. It would take 4-5 months and done domestically for 15 minute shows. Sometimes they turn it in on Friday, a couple days before the episode airs.
Gene will always be part of this no matter what. Gene is under a lot of pressure. Gene is literally a superhuman. He has to play in time with the animation and looks for the count from his peripheral vision. He takes a month beforehand to bear down on the live show. He will rehearse to the click track.
Gene loves working with Brendon and Ulrich (the producer). He's never seen Brendon stress. He's really reliable.
All the members live in Brendon's head and annoy him in different ways. But he's been close to Nathan a lot this year.
He doesn't know what is his favorite song to play. But he thinks its really fun to play Thunderhorse.
Gene's favorite member is Pickles because of his quote, "Couldn't do it, too damn drunk." and definitely not just because he's the drummer.
Gene's favorite song to play: The Gears, Dethsupport because they're challenging.
Gene and Brendon talk about the fact that Laser Cannon Deth Sentence was so hard to record they decided to never play it live but now Gene says he wants to try.
Questions and answers about the movie under the cut in case you don't want spoilers.
Brendon wanted to up the ante when making Army of the Doomstar. This is the conclusion of the Metalocalypse story, the one that began in the first episode.
The movie is mainly about the ego. It's a dipshit messiah story. Comedy that turns into an action movie. Go from the corporate world of Dethklok to the religious world of music.
This is the end of that story. It's about the search of the song of salvation.
On why Brendon decided to end Metalocalypse:
It's really important to end a story and not let it linger forever. Finishing a project is really important. A project that goes on forever diminishes the story.
Is there a possibility that Dethklok will do something beyond this? There is. I don't know. I think that Dethklok will live forever. This is the end of the Metalocalypse story.

See my thing with vengeful spirit/entity revenge horror is I just… don’t get why they can’t be friends?? I always feel really bad for the monsters like wow I’m sorry you had a horrific life and death that really sucks. And I get that they’re angry and want revenge but it’s always on innocent people. Why is it never enough to find someone who empathizes with their pain and tries to help them/lay them to rest? WHY DO WE HAVE TO MURDER THE NICE PEOPLE???
Anyways I would die in a horror movie because I would be like I’m gonna befriend the creepy haunted murder doll and this will horrifically backfire on me

tbh it's all speculation and every source says that they HOPE cruise will return. considering cruise just announced he's moving to warner bros i think they're doing damage control and really hope they can do it because he's their cash cow. until cruise himself confirms it i don't believe it.
yeah im with you on this, a lot of people have been saying this which is good.
I actually believe a top gun 3 will never be made because you CANNOT reasonably convince people the f-35 is a bad plane for two movies in a row. So they have to use the f-35, but tom cruise will never agree to make the movie because there are no two-seater f-35s so they'd have to use CGI lol
*I wanna stress I'm not like Anti-topgun3... im just anti- creative bankruptcy for the sake of a profit incentive... which a lot of Hollywood seems to be engaging in these days. endless sequels & prequels to profit off people's nostalgia for inarguably better movies of the past.
I've tried to keep my criticism of TGM to a minimum on this blog bc it really is a good movie &I hate to be Such a Crank All the Time, but its exactly my criticism of TGM too. As a story, it literally just reuses the same themes and motifs of the first movie with a few character tweaks & modern-warfare set dressing. rebellious kid (only rooster goes slow and not fast) who got shut out of the Navy (which for recruiting propaganda purposes is the Most Desirable Place To Be) needs to connect with a father figure to get over the ghosts of his past and reach his full potential. okay. it's the same story. it's literally A New Hope versus The Force Awakens levels of "we've seen this all before."
like im racking my brain trying to figure out how they would possibly write a third movie with the available threads left to pick up... I hope tom cruise says "no thank you" and top gun 3 languishes in development hell because my only answer is "I think the story is gonna suck shit"

"saltburn was too bland and vanilla" u watch much blander and more vanilla things constantly. u run a literal house md blog. it is not like every single film or tv show that u have ever ever enjoyed is the most depraved corrupt sickening thing ever. so why is saltburn held to the standard that it NEEDS to be extraordinarily gross. oh wait. is it because u watched it thinking it needed to be everything that tiktok said it was instead of holding it to its own standards as a film. is it because u feel the need to constantly reassert ur own Freakishness and Corruption so that u can be better than the Normies who enjoyed it. ahhh i see
