Rings of Power: S2 Episode 4 – Dark Forest of Darkest Darkness

I'd much rather watch thisLord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is proving to be a notable malinvest on Amazon’s part. I’m honestly not sure what the business plan was for this program and that is assuming that it ever had one other than being a vanity project to impress Jeff Bezos's mistress. If that is the case then The Rings of Power’s only notable accomplishment has been to make Mackenzie Scott Bezos the richest woman on the planet...

GaimanGate Update: Called It!

#TheDarkHeraldWasRightGood Omens season 3 has been "delayed." I called this back in August when the Coraline sequel went from green light to red light. The Tumblrinas are sobbing about this because of course they are. Granted, these are mostly Tennant fan girls but they are exactly the kind of women that Gaiman would allegedly victimize.Prime Video has halted production on the final season of “Good Omens.” The decision comes two months after series creator and showrunner Neil...

YOU. NOW."James Earl Jones has passed away at the age of 93.Born in 1931 in Arkabutla, Alabama to a mixed race heritage of Irish, Cherokee, and of course African American.

Top 5 Rorschach Heroes

Joker II is launching soon and frankly, it's going to bomb. They don't have the slightest freaking idea why Joker sold or how to replicate that success. Since it mostly stars Lady Gaga as Harlot Quinn I don't they are even trying.Now the first one was an earthquake for Hollywood. Walter Hamada, before Zaslav fired him, had sold off the revenue before it hit the box office so Warner Brothers saw almost nothing of that $1 billion. ...

LucasFilm Comes For Nerdrotic and Company

The Acolyte has turned out to have had a far greater impact in death than it ever had in life. There really wasn't much going on out of the ordinary while the Acolyte was streaming new episodes. New episodes are streamed on Disney+ once a week. The Fandom Menace (myself included would shell it), repeat until the season was over.Although, now that I think about it an outright cancelation is something new. I mean sure there are Star Wars projects...

The Rings of Power Ep 2-3: Orcs Are Immigrants Too!

“For every one pupil who needs to be guarded against a weak excess of sensibility there are three who need to be awakened from the slumber of cold vulgarity. The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. The right defence against false sentiments is to inculcate just sentiments. By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes. For famished nature will be...

Fools Parade – Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

REPOST: This is post from September two years ago but it is unusually timely at the moment.But now Ilúvatar sat and hearkened, and for a great while it seemed good to him, for in the music there were no flaws. But as the theme progressed, it came into the heart of Melkor to interweave matters of his own imagining that were not in accord with the theme of Ilúvatar; for he sought therein to increase the power and glory of...
