I don’t think so. Removing the “politics” from the movie makes the politics more invisible, which helps the propaganda. The military is defending us from this faceless, all-powerful other. We’re not actually even presented for why they’re antagonistic other than the US doesn’t want them to have a nuclear weapons

The point is that as long as she is alive and holds the rights, she financially benefits from every sale of the game, and she puts her money towards anti-trans groups like the LGB Alliance. It’s not just about the moral impurity of buying something associated with a transphobe - if it were that it might be something I

Yeah it honestly feels like a missed opportunity, it could have been something really fun. Instead we got... this

Amazing that this article fails to mention Harry Potter ending and JK Rowling’s bizarre journey into transphobia since then, Xi Jinping coming to power in China, Occupy Wall Street, the rise of the MCU and the return of Star Wars and the ensuing fandom battles that resulted from that, the entire run of Game of

She’s only made three movies, with Wonder Woman her first in 14 years. Monster was pretty good, WW84 was pretty bad, so I guess what you think of Patty depends on how you feel about the first Wonder Woman movie.

It honestly sounds a lot like a food-based version of Theatre of Blood!

Letitia Wright also followed and liked tweets from accounts promoting  conversion therapy, which always gets left out of these stories.

Crimean War was over 60 years prior, I meant to edit that to be “had been adversarial with Russia” - which they had been, more or less, for most of the 19th century. But yes, the bit about them being mostly friends is hilarious, and I also laughed out loud.

I actually had access to the correspondences of the British Foreign Office during the Russian Revolution and Civil War for a research project. In reality, it seems as though George V was initially wanting to help the Romanovs, but Lloyd George was cautious about it because he felt under threat from the Labour Party at

They eventually did release Code Veronica on the PS2. Fun fact: It was the original intended Resident Evil 3 and was developed with “Resident Evil 3" as its codename for most of production. Capcom felt that Dreamcast was more suited for their technical ambitions than PS1. Resident Evil: Nemesis was considered as a

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also did three arcs in one season for Season 4 - they called them “pods”. Honestly, I’m baffled that more of these shows didn’t take notice of that and also do it, because it is so much better pacing. The CW should have immediately applied that structure to all of their DC shows as well.

They’re more protecting their movie, and in this specific case their franchise - DC is in shambles, and this movie - which has already been filmed, and includes the returns of Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton - is supposed to use Flashpoint to sort out the whole DC Universe mess. Not to mention that it has been a $200

I think it might have worked if it had been either a faithful remake of 1978 (because the parts that are taken from the original are super faithfully done right down to the dialogue - similar almost to Psycho or that ‘90s Night of the Living Dead) OR a prequel about Michael Myers as a child. It’s really two separate

Yeah the impression I get is that Green didn’t want the baggage of Laurie being Michael’s sister, and wanted to take it back to the randomness of the original, not that he actually dislikes II. Both 2018 and Kills are loaded with callbacks to II, rather than simply ignoring it. II doesn’t count for continuity, but

Honestly when they announced that they were making two more films after 2018 to round out a trilogy, I was really hoping that Halloween Kills would be Halloween 3 2 and have nothing to do with 2018 or Michael Myers, and then Myers and Laurie would be back (again) for Halloween Ends. It would be so perfect if the

Frodo actually does come from wealth though. He starts the story by inheriting a mansion though, and neither he nor Bilbo seem to work. But this seems incidental to his heroism or lack of heroism in the main plot. Sam though you’re absolutely spot on about.

They’re not involved in the anime movie at all - the anime is being done by Warner Bros. and New Line based off of the movie rights - it was initially gonna be an HBO Max thing.  It’s two entirely different production companies.

You are correct. Udûn is the Sindarin name for Utumno (which is Quenya). It does predate orcs, but not by much - orcs were said to be created there, it’s where Melkor supposedly bred and corrupted his servants.

Udûn is also the name of Morgoth’s fortress in the frozen north, his version of Mordor, and where he created the orcs. Considering the discussiosn Adar has with Galadriel, and that we see a flashback to that frozen fortress from the first episode, that’s a third interpretation of the title.

They are yes, but that also would imply that they’re allowed to reference things outside of LOTR & appendices - the map of Numenor they use on the show only appears in Unfinished Tales, for example. Sounds like they have leeway for referencing things outside of their official rights, with the show working closely with
