dark command
dark command is like taunt. it seems a 1 - to - 1 copy of the effect .
with the headline: the screen;' dark command,' a rousing western, opens at the roxy - - three new foreign films here .
. however, it’s not the movie’s most famous scene. the scene that secured dark command a place in film history, is a spectacular (and obviously very dangerous )
command the target to attack you, increasing threat you generate against that target for 3 sec .
yeah, i always get
auuuh, too bad i dont have a taunt .
i wish i had taunt
. i' m like ,
dude! what do you mean its called dark command !
, and it' s fantastic. all party / raid members are displayed by name, and if they start getting threat they turn orange, then red. just click once and it casts dark command on the mob attacking them, or right - click to cast death grip .

there a final danger awaits, as the dark jedi c' baoth directs the battle against the rebels and builds his strength to finish what he had already started: the destruction of luke skywalker .
dark command is a a - movie that often plays like a b - movie. the duke has a few funny lines as the illiterate guy from texas who instantly recognizes shakespeare as a fellow texan, but some of the light comedy seems out of place in this context. not too much is made of the historic context of the missouri - kansas wars anyway. like the cantr

heir to the empire was a number - one new york times bestseller and the science fiction publishing event of the year. dark force rising continued the gripping new adventures of luke skywalker, princess leia, han solo, and the other heroes of the most popular trilogy in movie history. now the saga concludes with the last command, the climactic volume of a three - book cycle authorized by lucasfilm ltd. and written by hugo award - winning author timothy zahn .
the kauyon command post allows the production of krootoxen, which are difficult for enemy players to deal with due to having monster med armor. also, the kauyon command post enables the research of improved metallurgy and targeting optics from the path to enlightenment, which improves nearly every tau combat unit. kroot hound packs, also only accessible if the path of kauyon is chosen, are used similar to kroot carnivores, but due to their higher armor and health are more likely to survive a battle (though they cannot be upgraded through cannibalism and lack a ranged attack). to summarize, this command post is best used if you feel you need some heavy melee attackers to put between the enemy and your ranged attackers .
this spell combined with unholy presence for speed increase is great for kiting, you don' t have to turn around to use it and once the mob gets to it' s destination you don' t have to kill yourself to make it attack the guards an if you want it to agg more guards just taunt it again. this is for wreak havoc type kiting not kill the mob kiting since dark command does no damage, it uses no resources so you can kite a mob all the way across a continent without having to make it evade using water .
boasts the same nice mastering as their other vintage film reissues, even though the print on this particular release is less well - preserved than the others i' ve seen. the 1. 37: 1 picture sports a fair amount of scratches and dust, with one scene riddled with white flecks and a vertical stripe. the picture is decent overall, however, with nice levels of light and dark .
after the victory in the battle seen in the previous novel, grand admiral thrawn puts the next stage of his plan to destroy the new republic in action. meanwhile, the insane dark jedi joruus c' baoth is impatient to get leia organa solo, her unborn twins and luke skywalker as his apprentices – the reward thrawn promised him for his help. during the battle at ukio c' baoth senses organa solo' s presence over filve and sends the imperial battle group in pursuit of the millennium falcon. using the cracken twist han, leia and the rogues escape .
this is the first exciter album with jacques belanger on vocals, and he does a really good job of being a total fucking screamer. the guitar work of john ricci is still very solid after all these years, and marc and rick charron (unrelated) provide a competent backing. the album is similar to
long live the loud
in that the first few songs are the most memorable .
dark command
has a really cool main riff, and belanger' s screams complement the guitar work nicely .
burn at the stake
and
aggressor
are also pretty nice songs with good solid riff work .
assassins in rage
is a bit more forgettable, and then
ritual death
kicks ass, especially with the nice headbanging chorus. condemned! ! to ritual death! !! ! the rest of the album is a bit forgettable... of the last five songs ,
screams from the gallows
stands out the most, but they' re all pretty average. they' re not bad, but just kinda sound about the same. pretty typical exciter work - say what you want, they' re for the most part pretty consistent .
the embattled republic reels from the attacks of grand admiral thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the imperial forces and driven the rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the emperor' s secret fortress: clone soldiers. as thrawn mounts his final siege, han and chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last - ditch attack against the empire, while leia holds the alliance together and prepares for the birth of her jedi twins. overwhelmed by the ships and clones at thrawn' s command, the republic has one last hope—sending a small force, led by luke skywalker, into the very stronghold that houses thrawn' s terrible cloning machines .
during the attack, leia helps mon mothma and general garm bel iblis to heal the rift opened between them years ago when bel iblis had left the rebellion to fight his own personal war against the empire. with this cleared out, the general takes command of the defense of the new republic capital. after the imperial forces jump out of the system, mara jade' s absence is discovered but leia manages to convince mon mothma to keep it a secret and pretend that she is still their prisoner. meanwhile, ghent, the slicer who had stayed on coruscant to watch over mara while she was hospitalized, was able to break the pulse transmitter encrypt code that was used by delta source. using the code leia, winter and bel iblis try to uncover the identity of delta. by conducting pre - arranged conversations end relying on winter' s perfect recall, they successfully neutralize delta source .
later that night, thrawn' s forces attack coruscant. prior to the attack, c' baoth demands that he returns to the planet wayland to wait for his wanted jedi. thrawn gives him the draklor and puts it under general freja covell' s command. after c' baoth sets off the imperials launch the attack. just before withdrawing his forces thrawn orders the asteroids, which had been equipped with cloaking devices, to be launched. in addition to the twenty - two actual asteroids, thrawn also stages 265 false launches. as the cloaked asteroids are undetectable to coruscant' s sensors, it is impossible for the new republic to distinguish an actual asteroid launch from a false one. he lets the new republic forces to disable one of the asteroids cloaking devices so they can see what' s out there and then orders it destroyed. this way the grand admiral forces the coruscanti to use the planetary shields permanently, meaning nothing can get in or out. this would ultimately have thrawn win by starving his enemies into submission .

when transplanted texan bob seton arrives in lawrence, kansas he finds much to like about the place, especially mary mccloud, daughter of the local banker. politics is in the air however. it' s just prior to the civil war and there is already a sharp division in the territory as to whether it will remain slave - free. when he gets the opportunity to run for marshal, seton finds himself running against the respected local schoolteacher, william cantrell. not is what it seems however. while acting as the upstanding citizen in public, cantrell is dangerously ambitious and is prepared to do anything to make his mark, and his fortune, on the territory. when he loses the race for marshal, he forms a group of raiders who run guns into the territory and rob and terrorize settlers throughout the territory. eventually donning confederate uniforms, it is left to seton and the good citizens of lawrence to face cantrell and his raiders in one final clash .
. like cantrell, quantrill was born in ohio, taught school in lawrence, ks, became a guerrilla fighter on the confederate side and burned lawrence to the ground. however, the confederacy eventually distanced itself from him and later revoked his commission and disowned him, because of his band' s propensity for executing prisoners, massacring civilians, looting and raping. the real quantrill died not at the hands of

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
unusual western, with eerie, sinister atmosphere, lots of political commentary, and strange relationships .
above average western covering the quantrill territory, full of fiction over fact, and starring john wayne and roy rogers .
nominated for the interior decoration and score oscars, this john wayne pre - civil war adventure is better than the norm due to raoul walsh' s direction and good cast .
republic' s costliest film; it was also its biggest box office hit .
not bad revisionist take on quantrill' s raiders repurposed into a john wayne vehicle. the film, the followup to stagecoach, was the picture that actually confirmed the duke' s marketability since it ended up being a huge hit. roy rogers, free of trigger for a change, does a good job as claire' s brother .

in the current beta, the taunt is still on death grip, and this ability is trainable as well .
edit: and it' s a good thing this skill exists, too. due to the nature of the dk rune rotation, you' re probably going to need two different taunts depending on how much damage you' re doing .
death grip is like mocking blow, it does force the target to attack you for 3s, but it never transfers any real threat. after 3s the target just continues where it left of .
work like a taunt, but it' s wording implies it once didn' t. when they changed it to act as a
true
taunt, they probably never remembered to change the wording .
coming to think of it, this' d make perfect minor cc in pvp, causing enemy to lose control for 3 seconds. shame blizz won' t allow it .
i think all taunts (from warriors and druids and whatnot as well) should at least make an opponent retarget in pvp, and make them manually have to reselect their target. might save your healer in a case where you could at least just interrupt their flow for a sec. similar to the way hunters use feign death in pvp and whatnot .
just did my first dk tanking attempt then as a level 61, and not having a taunt made things interesting occasionally. it' s a ability you come to rely on as a tank! (i have at druid i tank with at 80) .
at least you' re massively op compared to most other classes at this level, so you can just tank everthing with frost presence, and d & d / pestilence / blood boil .
60 frost dps dk - just went into frost presence and dpsed him. death strike healing was enough, i used gift of the naaru too but that healed me as much as a potion probably .
changing targets does not interrupt or retarget a spell in progress. i do it all the time on my warlock while dishing out afflictions to a group of mobs .
you need 17% spell hit for all taunts. with the glyph, that means you need 9% spell hit or 237 rating (note that this is less than the melee hit cap, since you need more hit rating for 1% melee hit than 1% spell hit) .
seems unfortunate that this is only available at 65 while the other tank classes get a taunt - type skill before they can enter instances .
* looks through his spell book *
nope. its not there .
half these tanks are over level 65 too... i think all dks might be stupid: d (just kidding
if you' re new to tanking as a death knight, learn to love this spell. it' s on a
and the taunt gives you 100% threat that you can build on. death grip may bring the target to you, but it just forces the target to attack for 3 seconds; you have to start building your threat on the target from wherever it was, even if that' s 0% .
to take full advantage of this, it helps to get an add - on to help taunt the right target without clicking off your main tanking target. you could set up a macro, but i' ve found that to be less than reliable .
is a good choice, since you can set up a simple key + click combo to cast your taunt... but it still means you need to be able to see the target mob to click it. doesn' t help if the mob gets behind you or off to the side .
can proc fallen crusader. so if in pvp / soloing, spam it if nothing else to do .
. wiped a fair number of times as a blood tank because of this .
whatever it procs, don' t ever use this in a level appropriate dungeon / heroic / raid. the diminishing return can cause trouble. people wont care much for a blood worm or fallen crusader proc, if it means they have to die .
and if you are acting as a dps, don' t even think about it ...
proccing blood worms and crusader could very well save you when getting kited by a frostmage .
with the change to taunt mechanics in 5. 4, please note that you can use
in your rotation to increase threat generation by 200% for 3 seconds, even if you are currently tanking the boss or mob. (of course, make sure you will not be needing taunt for another reason, such as adds on select fights. )

( 1940), republic pictures was known mainly for cranking out b - westerns and quickie, crowd - pleasing serials. but
' s $ 700, 000 budget placed it squarely in the a - western category. this was john wayne' s first film after finally achieving stardom in john ford' s classic ,
hit it big at the box office. wayne had been hustling around in cut - rate pictures (many of which had been made by republic) for several years, so it must have been a relief to realize that
wayne plays bob seton, a lawrence, kansas cowboy who is rather unexpectedly elected to the office of town marshal. the loser in the election, an ambitious schoolteacher named will cantrell (walter pidgeon), is outraged that an uneducated man like seton could defeat him. then, to make matters worse, seton starts falling for a woman named mary mccloud (claire trevor), who cantrell also loves. when mary' s brother (roy rogers) is tried for murder at seton' s behest, cantrell sets into motion a series of events that result in much bloodshed .
is an amazing stunt orchestrated by yakima canutt. canutt and several other stunt men slid down a chute into a river forty feet below... along with a wagon and an entire team of horses. it' s an indelible sight for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that the horses were put in great danger for the sake of a piece of celluloid. this stunt, and several others that ended up killing animals in
( 1936), alerted the aspca that major changes needed to take place in the handling of animals while filming motion pictures. today, any picture that includes animals has an aspca member on hand to keep the filmmakers in line .
was republic' s ambitious attempt to take advantage of wayne' s new - found fame, and major studios began to reconsider him as leading man material when the film became a hit. but cecil b. demille, for one, discovered that wayne wasn' t about to forget any previous slights now that he had a bit of weight to throw around .
, he was supposed to meet with wayne about a possible role in the film .
i sat outside that bastard' s office ,
wayne later said ,
and i could look in there and see him just thinking. so after about an hour - ­the son of a bitch kept me waiting that long ­ - he came out and said ,
well, i' m going for lunch .
when reminded that he had an appointment to meet with wayne, demille offhandedly invited the actor to come along, in a manner that wayne felt was openly disrespectful. at lunch, demille told wayne that he liked him pretty well in
( 1930), but
a lot of water had run under the bridge since then .
sent to his office .
make him come here if he wants to see it ,
wayne told republic executive sol siegel .
just tell him that a lot of water has run under the bridge since i' d seen him last .
not surprisingly, wayne and demille never got around to working together .

in the days before the american civil war, illiterate cowboy bob seton (john wayne) finds favour with the townsfolk of lawrence, texas, and attempts to win the heart of beautiful mary mccloud (claire trevor). however, when ex - schoolteacher will cantrell (walter pidgeon) bands together a group of mercenaries and begins to terrorise the local population, it is up to bob to bring him to justice .
now it is nice to see some of the of films being brought ...
i first watched this film back in the early 50' s in the local flea pit. now it is nice to see some of the of films being brought back to life again. we used to love the cow boy films back in those days, you had the hero, the villain, the coward who some times turned out to be a brave man in the end of course there was always the woman included. never any sex scenes like to day just a good wholesome story line. this is one of those type of films we all love to go and watch at any age .
john wayne fans will not be disappointed by this above - average western from 1940, and many others will find it well worth viewing too. based on a true story, and set in kansas leading up to and after the beginning of the american civil war, the film sees wayne trying to curb the activities of a ruthless adventurer trying to profit from the growing lawlessness of the times, and trying to win over the latter' s lady - friend (played by the lovely claire trevor) at the same time. a chance also to see walter pidgeon in his prime ...
an early john wayne western, with some naff bits of story at times, but also a good feel for the american civil war period and with some amazing stunts and action. overall the film is disjointed in pace, some times slow and sometimes flying along, but entertaining enough to keep you watching all through .
classic john wayne, an excellent film which i thoroughly enjoyed. a very interesting documentary about his early years in film in the extras is also well worth watching .

in the confederate army, collar insignia only indicated an officer' s rank, not which general' s army he belonged to. furthermore, civil war armies were not numbered like u. s. forces in the twentieth century, but instead took their names from states, regions, rivers, etc. (ex. the army of tennessee, the army of the potomac). see more »

it is five years after the events of return of the jedi. the fragile new republic reels from the attacks of grand admiral thrawn, who has not only rallied the remaining imperial forces, but has driven the rebels back with an abominable new technology: clone soldiers .
hopes are dim as thrawn mounts a final siege against the republic. while han and chewbacca struggle to form a wary alliance of smugglers in a last - ditch attack against the empire, leia keeps the alliance together and prepares for the birth of her jedi twins. but the empire has too many ships and too many clones to combat. the republic' s only hope lies in sending a small force, led by luke, into the very stronghold that houses thrawn' s terrible cloning machines .
meanwhile, luke is trying to find thrawn' s cloning facilities. on berchest, he meets with talon karrde. skywalker convinces the information broker to sell information regarding the movements of the imperial forces to the new republic .
at the same time on coruscant, mara jade is recovering from the injuries sustained during the battle for the katana fleet. during her stay at the imperial palace, winter –princess leia' s aide – was serving as her hostess. in a brief conversation, jade identifies winter as the targeter–a code name she had used only briefly. this prompts winter to check jade' s background suspecting she is an imperial agent .
at the same time, luke had tracked the clones to the inner rim planet poderis. the imperial forces on the planet tried to capture him using ysalamiri but the young jedi detects blank spots created by the creatures and leaps on a roof. using a piece of cloth to fashion a protective wrapping for his hand, luke cuts a groove with his lightsaber on the outside of the shield - barrier connected to the roof he was on and sticks his hand in it. holding the lightsaber in front of him, skywalker begins his descent by digging out a slanted path for his hand to follow in. after going about 100 meters across the wall, he cuts a hole in the shield - barrier and goes back into the city. reaching the spaceport, luke gets off poderis and after a little skirmish with the chimaera he jumps to hyperspace. when his x - wing' s power cells run out of charge, skywalker decides to replace them on honoghr, the noghri homeworld. when he reaches the planet, the noghri guide him to a place they call the future of the noghri. there he meets khabarakh. while waiting for the power cells to be delivered, nystao he experiences a vision of leia and the twins being in danger. while luke is on honoghr, during a meeting of the provisional council leia goes in labor. after 10 hours delivery, with han by her side, she gives birth to jaina and jacen solo .
in the meanwhile, after an accidental meeting with his fellow smuggler gillespee, karrde sets a meeting of the top smugglers on trogan. the meeting in whistler' s whirlpool tapcafe, which was attended by brasck, billey, par' tah, ellor, dravis, mazzic, lishma, gillespee, niles ferrier and others. the reason why karrde called them was forming an alliance to find where the clones were being bred. at first, the smugglers want to stay neutral in the war but when the meeting was attacked by the imperials, resulting in lishma' s death, they decide that the empire needs to learn a lesson thus the smugglers' alliance is born. the attack on the meeting was actually arranged by ferrier. he was trying to win karrde' s trust so he can betray him to the grand admiral. thrawn, however, wasn' t pleased since he didn' t want to the smugglers turned against the empire .
at the same time, karrde on board the wild karrde is present during an attack on the bilbringi shipyards by mazzic and ellor. the attack results in the destruction of an almost finished star destroyer. the attack itself was the two smugglers' revenge for their friend' s death. just before the beginning of the raid, karrde counts twenty - two asteroids which the grand admiral would later use to attack coruscant. unfortunately for the smugglers, the grand admiral is present during the attack and recognizes mazzic and ellor' s styles. while discussing his plans concerning the smugglers, thrawn is interrupted by the enraged master c' boath who had found out that the last kidnapping attempt had failed. he demands to fly to coruscant to take his jedi. thrawn agrees to take him to the galactic capital after the special cargo is loaded onboard. c' boath thinking that thrawn intends to destroy coruscant with organa solo and the twins still on the planet took control of the crew of the chimaera. thrawn manages to calm the insane jedi down and, with the asteroids onboard, takes off to coruscant .
back on coruscant, leia' s chosen bodyguards arrive dressed like jawas who turn out to be ten noghri among which was khabarakh. the same night luke and lando broke mara out of her quarters. they board the millennium falcon and leave for obroa - skai –the last stop mara and the emperor had made before reaching wayland .
meanwhile, karrde had set a new base in a ancient fortress on the planet hijarna. the coalition he was trying to build is crumbling thanks to financial problems. karrde sets a new meeting to discuss the continuation of their operations with the other smugglers if he provides the credits to pay them. mazzic, however, is captured by the imperials and is brought before the grand admiral. thrawn, using the flimsiness of the attack on trogan, sowed doubt in mazzic' s mind that karrde is behind the attack. mazzic leaves the grand admiral' s flagship determined to find out the truth and ferrier is send to incriminate karrde .
around that time, mara manages to pinpoint the coordinates to wayland. jumping out of hyperspace, she confirms that this is the right planet. setting down in the forests, the team happens upon a pack of garrals and thus have to hike all the way to mount tantiss. after a few hours of hiking, mara asks luke about the emperor' s final moments and luke reveals that he was not the one who killed the emperor. during the next several days, luke helps mara to sharpen up her abilities in the force preparing her for whats to come when they finally infiltrate mount tantiss. the plan is to destroy the cloning facility that thrawn is using for his military forces. from the noghri that had followed them, mara learns of luke' s parentage and the real reason why palpatine wants him dead — to extract revenge on his murderer. at this moment, she decides that it has to be her reasons for killing skywalker and not because of her dead master. at this moment, c' baoth tries to force her under his control but his contact is abruptly ended.
