For a sec I thought you were proposing a sequel to Harold and Kumar.

Al Yankovic is the one person I believe represents all that is good in humanity. If I found out he was a racist or some kind of sex criminal, I honestly don't know if I could recover. 

Saying that Walk Hard should’ve been funnier is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

Really, I just checked in to make sure Arrowverse Slade Wilson made the cut and Arrowverse Ra’s al Ghul didn’t. I leave happy.

Yeah the very first thing that’s going to happen is the racists are going to go off on everybody else there, assuming they have free reign, and Musk just made it clear to the entire content moderation team that they need to let this slide or they’ll lose their jobs.

“the bird is freed” LOL. Wonder how long has he had that pearl of wisdom in his pocket. Fuck off to your soon-to-be-overwhelmed with shit outhouse dickhead.

Exactly. It’s going to become a bigger cesspool than it already is with the “free speech absolutist” censoring anyone who drags his manky ass for filth while he allows every white supremacist, Nazi POS with a bigoted ax to grind run amok while the rest of us are told to play nice.

True censorship will happen under his watch. He will censor anyone engaging in boycotting or criticism of him and his ilk. And then give free regin to let people use racial, misogynistic, homophobic, etc. slurs.

I honestly felt like the series improved when Megan Fox was the ‘new girl’.

You sound like someone who yells at waiters

“I think it’s safe to say we all lost a little bit of respect for you there, Clare” remains my early favorite.

Celeborn is definitely not dead. Galadriel says she ‘never saw him again,’ unlike her brother, whose body was recovered. They’re going to have to answer where he’s been, but there’s an emotional reunion coming up in some future season.

As I noted in a past episode discussion, the show is moving at a very deliberate sort of pace. It’s not a wild ride, though it’s not lingering just to linger. But I don’t know how you could call this episode filler, as it directly turns three storylines toward their final act of the season. Galadriel and Halbrand have…

It’s funny how differently people think of these episodes. I found this one to be a welcome change of pace after the ponderous, lore-heavy fourth episode.

I am loathe to defend someone for using the word “edutainment”, but the fact is movies have been distorting and exaggerating history since the birth of the medium. Buzzwords aside, I think Davis and Tennon seem pretty knowledgable about the real story and aware of the limits of of big budget studio filmmaking. The…

Knives Out was Rian Johnson’s “breakout hit”? You mean the guy who had directed a $1B-grossing Star Wars movie two years earlier?

I don’t see how they would make him Gandalf. Blue Wizard is far more likely. No idea if they can use their names or not contractually. Palando? Can’t remember.

God I hope it is one of the blue wizards. That is the obscure Tolkien shit that I cannot get enough of

There’s a lot of context needed for this.

Isildur’s failure is pretty overblown and I blame the movies for that. He never stood in Mount Doom and decided not to chuck the ring in. The true nature of the ring wasn't even made apparent to him until later, and nobody (not even Elrond) knew the true extent of it's power. So yeah, he had hubris enough to think he…
