>it seem like the ghosts had encountered others who had a weapon to counter their ghost weapons but didnt make it out of the bone avalanche.
You're not inclined to believe the king had a change of heart after thinking about it for a minute but fine with the idea he and the rest of the ghosts put all the skulls back where they after every visitor comes with a magic sword and gets crushed in the avalanche?

Additionally, the ring doesn't have the 'power of Invisibility'. The ring contains Sauron's power, which is of the unseen world. Creatures who do not exist in this realm, are pulled there, and appear to disappear from the physical world when wearing the ring. This 'world' is more like a spiritual layer on our world.
If a creature who exists in both the Seen and Unseen wears the ring, nothing remarkable would seem to happen. So I believe if Elves wear the one ring, they wouldn't turn invisible. Perhaps even the three rings they wear would turn a mortal invisible by placing them in the unseen world as the one ring does.
Sauron of course exists in both realms, so wearing the ring doesn't switch him from Seen to Unseen like it does a Hobbit. And then as you say Chaladan, he just doesn't have the strength to manifest a physical body without the ring any longer.

It's a horrible story and only adding high profile actors will take away from the horrendous acts by the characters. People will want Oscars for Leo rather than an introspective look.

You can still catch Covid at that nightclub. It’s just not as likely to kill you anymore.

Reply to comment by Bthejerk in Brooke Shields' movies are so creepy and inappropriate. Imagine your entire film career being reduced to movies which seemed so exploitative of her. by Lisieu_Lustre
Every time Brooke talks about her mom, it's like she's suffering from Stockholm's Syndrome.
I think Brooke insists those movies were a positive experience for her because she doesn'r want her mom to be blamed.

Honestly one of my favourite historical non fiction novels of all time, I hope they do it justice ! The story is wild and unique to its time.

It wasn't exactly dating. Remember when he took Emmanuel Lewis with them on?
Shields seemed to imply Michael was too immature to be in a relationship though she adored him.

Sure I’m not saying it’s a plot hole or anything, I’m just saying it happens a lot, so the ghosts are hardly unique in their stubbornness.

Basically that. Nudity =/= porn in all cases, and they stretched that (somehow) to include glamour photos.

Aragon joined the Fellowship with full intent of parting before or at Gondor with Boromir. He knew he was going to reclaim the Throne. Aragon as a whole was more badass and more assured of himself in the books. He carried the shards of Narsil and drew the broken sword against the Rinfwraiths on Weathertop, really the first time you see him draw his sword. While spending the 3 months at Rivendell, he goes on patrols with Elronds sons, and Elrond reforfes the Shards of Narsil before the Fellowship leaves Rivendell. A few weeks after they leave Rivendell, the Grey Riders: the group of Rangers from the North who are Aragorns fellow Numenorian descendents as well as Elronds two sons themselves Elf Lord's, set off for Rohan and and meet Aragorn before goring through the ghost way. It's a small band of Men and Elves roughly 30 iirc but more fearsome than the Rohirrim. Aragorn plan is to use the Ghosts to defeat the pirates of the Coast, which they do, and Aragorn releases them for that act then. He and the Grey Riders meanwhile sail the boats up the coast and land at the docks on the day of battle and shift the tide of battle temporarily with just 30 dudes.

Reply to comment by Step-Father_of_Lies in Cynthia Rothrock was the best Martial Arts female movie star and yet she almost never gets any credit by Lili_Danube
I think the closest thing to a big picture she was in was SHANGHAI EXPRESS (also called MILLIONAIRE'S EXPRESS) with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, but she was a basically an extra in it.
The problem is she isn't a good actress at all, she's just a really good martial artist.

The King of Gondor is the only one who can command the ghosts. But they have free will. They’re options are “follow the King of Gondor like they should have 3000 years ago” or “just keep being ghosts.” But they’re cowards. They’re ghosts because they’re cowards and ran away 3000 years ago. Of course their initial response to “you wanna follow me into battle?” is gonna be no. Especially up against Sauron, who I don’t know with 100 percent certainty can’t hurt a ghost. He’s kind of a necromancer, kind of a Lich. He might know how to hurt ghosts, so those ghosts might not be an invulnerable as we think.

Not sure why but I always thought this was about H. H. Holmes and his murder castle.
Edit: That was The Devil in the White City, which was to be directed by Scorsese and starring DiCaprio. No wonder I got them mixed up.

While true, being a dancer doesn’t prevent you from stunt and martial art work.
She’s the GOAT.
