Why the over use and misuse of the word literally? Anyways... All I’m saying is Tolkien’s whole fantasy thing is comforting in that it ultimately offers fireside solutions to an apocalyptic situation. Everyone basically just goes home at the end... and then (some of them) go to the dreary never-neverland of The…

But it’s all so sentimental and schmaltzy. Everything unfolds in a very comfortable way, which I guess is the point of that sort of that cozy post-WWI view that Tolkien was appealing to.

These digital images have no real resonance the way…

The book is Heinlein’s personal manifesto of his right-wing libertarian beliefs. What’s creepy (and sorta admirable in a weird way) is how sincere he actually was. He meant every word.

Sounds like you didn't get what the movie was about at all. It's a comedy.

It’s a satire, plain and simple... It’s the best satire about war since Dr. Strangelove.
