That was kind of Butler’s intent (the “nowhere” part, not getting it slightly wrong). The most famous example of a fictional society that was created as a criticism of real societies is Thomas More’s “Utopia”. Utopia literally means “Noplace” in ancient Greek.

Yeah, that headline was misleading. I thought Richard Gere was in a documentary.

I thought the trailer for this looked particularly awful. I wondered if I was partly biased because I'm not a fan of her music, but it seems the movie is as bad as it looked.

In London, posters for this film have been graffitied so they read ‘Back to Whitewash’

Titular. Hehh

This is fine and all, but what I would really like is for the main show to come to an on demand streaming site. It’s been on broadcast TV forever but unless you pay big $$$ to someone like Hulu+Live TV or YouTube TV, you won’t be able to watch current seasons/episodes on any on demand service.

I do appreciate that it’s an actual quiz show with decent prize money but without some gimmick or element of random chance.

I haven’t seen that many things with him, but recently I watched “An Officer And A Gentleman” for the first time. Yeah, I’d call it overrated. I just couldn’t get into the one dimensional characters (plus call me a PC woke snowflake but the flirting via racial slurs was not as endearing as the filmmakers inexplicably t…

I’m not trying to talk anyone into liking a show that they don’t like, but I’ve observed people are often disappointed when they set expectations that are then flouted. Personally, I was against a LotR show to begin with for several reasons, and only watched it out of curiosity. I thought it was good, not great, and…

I liked Wong’s girlfriend better. When does she get a series?!?!?!?

WandaVision was centered around two supporting characters from the movies.

What’s up with the conservo-trolls?

Racist against Hobbits?

Well, that’s because he would have liked to come and meet us, but he thought he’d blow our minds.

More often than not, the loudest voices offering these complaints are doing so before a season has been concluded, as though they’ve never studied things like foreshadowing, unreliable narration, or misdirection. I wouldn’t trust those people to write a postcard home from the loveliest place on the planet.

I’m not really a fantasy guy let alone a Tolkien person, but surprisingly season 1 really clicked with me so I’m willing to stick with it

It’s basically confirmed 

It was strongly implied, he was explicitly confirmed to be a Wizard, at least.

C’mon, people. Let’s leave obvious trolls in the greys where they belong.

The best thing about this show is that Galadriel is a very flawed character, way too confident in her own abilities and willing to risk others for her own vendettas, which we’ll presumably see her grow out of now that she’s had such a horrible wakeup call that the guy she trusted so much was actually Sauron. So of…
