He calls it “My Precious”.

The kicker about this is that Tolkien was strongly against rascism, and Middle Earth was polycultural. So with that in mind, I don’t think he would have been too put out about these diversity-based decisions.

The nations wouldn’t come together to fight Mordor, they’d insist Sauron is a myth

God it really is grim. One comment I was unfortunate enough to read went something like “black people have to insert themselves into white stories and culture because they have no culture or stories of their own.”

The responses to Vanity Fair’s tweet are not great.

So based on Kurt being a hunter, his outburst over the headshot, the little phantom mask he made, and the fact that we only saw Iris’s arm/leg... I have a feeling he’s mounting trophies somewhere.

It’s still a bit sloppy (Dexter pulling punches on Rita’s death seemed like an obviously terrible move), but I thought this was one of the better episodes, especially the scene with Dexter and Kurt at the cabin.

You forgot Molly “I’m a podcast star, radio is dead” Park. She’s the absolute worst.

The best part of the episode was seeing Dexter’s angry face as he enters the gym arena after he sees Kurt mentoring, and later hugging Harrison. He looked, convincingly, like he was going to really fuck Caldwell up (likely a sign of things to come). As it’s been the case from the very beginning, I would never watch…

The Harrison/Dexter scenes and the Dark Kurt scenes are so much more interesting (and, frankly, better acted) than everything else around them. I don't care about the podcast stuff, the sheriff's suspicions, Harrison's teen romance.

I thought it was pretty good overall. The only part that actually bothered me was Dexter trying to ease his way around saying anything definitive to the therapist, when he should have known that Harrison wasn’t going to be buying any of it.

Sometimes controversial means “I, the writer, have a beef with this, but with a eyebrow raising word choice, can make it seem like this opinion is widely held.”

That was basically Sausage Party, which sucked. So...we’ll see.

Hey, I’m all for a “Surprise, Lumberfucker!” Doakes appearance.

“Post-COVID”? Hmm.

I mean, no one’s gonna die on the Zither or Binky the Doormat hill.  

After what Zack Synder did?

A guy in the next row sneezed twice.

I am so in. And also because the other people in this are all doing great right now, this is not Stephen Segal Putin favor. Sharon Horgan was so great in Catastrophe I look forward to seeing her square off with Cage.

I agree wholeheartedly with this review. It starts off slow and boring but when baby's let out of the corner well then that's when the fun begins. Legitimately the only time I've slept through pieces of a film and then wound up enjoying it.
