The Hall of Fire

I'm kind of going off on a tangent here... Was reading through the 2008 Preseidential Election Forum and things were so much simpler and formal and polite back then. Even if you stood opposite on issues, there was still some semblence of respect that was assumed between each other. All it took to b...

That is Hilarious! Something I can use to bait the haters on Tolkien Forums!

To give the high-level review without explicit spoilers, the film really succeeds on the foundations. The script is solid. It has some excellent acting. We knew Timothee Chalamet was able to play Paul, but he was also able to summon the gravitas to play the war leader Muad’dib, and his transformati...

Weird rumours aside, I see the showrunners got their contract extension from MGM for the next three years.
So much for the crybabies having a tantrum about the show and wanting it to be cancelled. I'm willing to say they will make the five seasons.

I too like that depiction of the balrog!

My wife got us tickets for an IMAX showing on March 8th. Looking forward to it.

Sign up for a couple of months and binge "For All Mankind", "The Morning Show" and "Foundation" Its worth it for those. I concur. I've been watching Masters of the Air as well, but I like war flicks/series. I also find that my Apple TV+ box works better than my smart T...

"But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her daughters , and to all whom she had loved; and she went o...

I lost all faith that the Republican voter had any hint of decency and even a slight bit of common sense after January 6th 2021. And now it comes to this. I can only say I'm gla...

To the Professor!

FWIW, I think RoP is worth watching for a few reasons. Firstly, some of the imagery is sublime, as is the score. I have issues with some of the storylines, but overall I enjoyed it. Yes, and the action scenes were actually better done than in the PJ movies, imo. I think the key to enjoying it is to...

A couple weeks ago, my wife and I decided to watch the PJ Lord of the Rings movies as presented on Netflix (theatrical). The parts that were bad before are still bad, and a lot that was ok-ish/decent back twenty years ago hadn't held up to the hands of time. Anyway, this week we decided to pay Ring...

Yeah, watched the first four episodes they released.

I've been enjoying 'Morning Wars' more than I should.
