Is This Something?
Pardon the very weak blogging. I went out over the weekend and of course caught a cold.
M. Night Shyamalan can't fool me any longer. Neither can Kevin Smith. It's all remakes, reboots, sequels and prequels: Another Hellboy sequel or reboot or whatever. This looks terrible: Time Bandits remake. And of course, they can't give dwarves jobs because... giving dwarves jobs would be anti-dwarf? The new Alien movie, Romulus, looks like they spent a ton on it. But is a haunted house movie the best use of a ton of money? I dunno. Deadpool & Wolverine made $210 million in North America on its first four days of release. Woke movie critics have only one complaint: Why didn't Wolverine and Deadpool have gay sex together? Another season of We Wuz Rangz. This time, with a romance between Guyladrial and Sauron. Great, the shippers wanted it, so of course the shippers get it. It will also have gay characters, because of course.Great. So much Gay Representation in Groomer Disney's upcoming show Agatha it'll make you sick.
During a Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, actor Charlie Vickers, who plays Sauron, alongside showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne, as well as Galadriel actress Morfydd Clark were asked if the show's second season would feature more of the romance between Galadriel and Sauron that the first season showed. Vickers responded, "I think there is hope. ... What can we say?" McKay then encourages him, "Say it! Say it!" Vickers then states, "Yeah, I think we will." To be clear, Galadriel never had any kind of romantic relationship with Sauron in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium given she was married to Celeborn. In The Silmarillion, Tolkien wrote, "A queen she was of the woodland Elves, the wife of Celeborn of Doriath, yet she herself was of the Noldor and remembered the Day before days in Valinor, and she was the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-earth." Furthermore, he made it clear that Galadriel was Sauron's "chief adversary and obstacle" during the Second Age in Eregion. He wrote in Unfinished Tales, "In Eregion Sauron posed as an emissary of the Valar, sent by them to Middle-earth ("thus anticipating the Istari") or ordered by them to remain there to give aid to the Elves. He perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy." Not only will the second season foster a romance between Sauron and Galadriel, but showrunner Patrick McKay seemingly confirmed that the show features LGBTQ+ characters. When asked if there would be LGBT characters in the show, McKay said, "Maybe you have already."

I get the sense that it's effectively an adaptation of the game Alien Isolation.
I'm gonna go. Dolley bought me a one movie a month subscription to a theater, and it seems prime.
I'll probably see Trap over Deadpool first, though.

Who is in control of Tolkien's works? Are they even trying to pretend they are remaining faithful to the canon? And why aren't Tolkien's heirs putting a stop to this?
Even in-universe it makes no sense. Manwe would have removed Galadrial in a heartbeat if she was falling for Sauron.
It's not like she didn't know better! She knew all of the Gods personally! So did her husband!
Yes, there was a Maia-elf romance, but it was rather tragic as I recall. Wasn't it Thingol and Melian? I think so.

Yet Hollywood must have 20-35% gay characters? It is an anti-family agenda, which is also anti-society. Normal people were very tolerant, but the activist gays are haters, and they want your children for sex, and as punishment for Christians being Christian.

Christopher Tolkien safeguarded his father's legacy for decades. He was not a fan of Peter Jackson's adaptation of LOTR and became very protective.
The Tolkien Estate sold part of the rights to Amazon as soon as Christopher died (Saul Zaentz owns the rest, the ones that Jackson used).
Christopher's kids don't care about their grandfather's work.

And it will be reinforced in workplaces, social media, etc.
It's brilliant.
If you don't understand why it will work, there are videos that women make willingly of things that turn them off to "help" men understand women. Some guys have started making keeping up with them and they're up to 400 or so. They're arbitrary and you won't have the slightest idea you're doing them. Open the door for her? Turn off. Don't open the door for her? Turn off. Wear a blue tie? Turn off. etc. etc.
Is he happy to see her? That's the end of the relationship.
Putting gas in his car? He's done.
Handing his passport to immigration and waiting for it to be returned.
The man being briefly and slightly off balance on the subway.
The THOUGHT of the man getting hit by a car and the woman potentially being embarrassed.

The original plan for Gladiator II involved Maximus becoming the warrior for the gods. I think he ended up having to kill Zeus. It was written by Nick Cave. It ended with a thirty minute section of Maximus traveling forward in time, fighting in a series of conflicts including Vietnam.

Established IPs with built-in fanbases are lower risk exercises for tentpole features. When there is a guaranteed audience, there is much less potential capital risk over tentpole-scale expenditures and tentpoles are all we make anymore, we need to be better safe than sorry.

I think it's more about how The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (including appendices to the former) were sold decades ago to Saul Zaentz. Stuff from The Silmarillion are separate and were sold five-ish years ago to Amazon. It's why Rings of Power can't say Hobbit.

The title for the FF film is ridiculous and being that it's allegedly coming out exactly one year from now and hasn't even started shooting, means all of the CGI is going to be rushed, which means that the track record of FF films being utter pieces of garbage looks to be intact.
Also the Secret War film is not going to resemble anything like 1985 comic series.
Ehh, everything is garbage.

"A 17-year-old Ali Al-Shakati from Banks has been arrested in connection with the Southport [UK] stabbings and is currently in police custody.
The suspect in the Southport stabbings, Ali-Al-Shakati, was on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services. He was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.

The key exchange of his career was on Cop Out.
Smith was trying to talk about which lens to sue for a shot, and he simply didn't know anything about how to explain what he wanted. He'd been making movies for 20 years.
Bruce Willis tore into him for it.

The Three Rings wielded by the Elves (and Gandalf) were untouched by Sauron, so were not corrupted. The trailer implies otherwise...

Anything updating an old movie or TV show is doomed to be awful. AXEL F terrible. COBRA KAI terrible. The nostalgia factor can only get you so far.
It's too bad because there could be interesting ways of continuing the stories of classics (a la THE HUSTLER/THE COLOR OF MONEY), but Hollywood can't or won't do it anymore.
I once wrote a sequel to Caddyshack for fun (maybe about 50 pages). Even contacted Michael O'Keefe about it (the actor who played Danny Noonan). He was gracious in responding to me but said, amazingly, Warner Bros, which owned the rights, didn't want to do anything more with it.

Arm and Hammer makes one of the better pressured throwaway types that are more hygenic than netti pots. CVS and Walgreens have knockoffs.
If you keep getting colds, chest infections, etc., you might find out, like I did during the time of covid that you have IGG subtype deficiency which is generally genetic in origin. Overall numbers can look fine but there are four subtypes to your immune system and a persistent deficiency in IGG3 can lead to perpetually lower resistance to airborne infections. IGG4 is one of the subtypes that the RNA messenger type Covid vaxxes used to prevent the a heightened immune system response to the spike. It is a general messenger to the immune system recognizing bad stuff and attacking it. IGG1 and IGG2 constitute most of the immune system in standard blood tests but deficiencies in 3 and 4 can lead to persistent health issues.

Deadpool is a hit and is going to make money, probably a lot of it.
The question for the prognosticators is, "does Hollywood understand why?" To find out if "Deadpool saved Hollywood" is correct, we will learn the answer to that question.
Don't be heavy-handed. Have decent characters people like. Get good actors - or at least, appropriate actors - to play those characters. Put those characters in a believable story. Apparently, from what I've read, Deadpool more or less does this (with the third part - believability - being the weakest link). Will Hollywood learn?
Color me skeptical.

The people producing, writing and enjoying "The Rings of Power" are these people. They are singing a discordant song alongside Tolkien's masterpiece. They don't want to blend with or submit to Tolkien. They want to pervert and dominate his work.
It's no wonder they're injecting a romance between Galadriel and Sauron. They are Sauron and they want to force Galadriel to love them.

Maybe substitute 'entertaining' for 'believable', and it hits it, and I'd otherwise agree. I mean, the more pensive the plot tries to get, sure maybe, the more believable it should be. But for just something trying to have fun, I'm always happy suspending belief to have fun. I love Howard Stern's narration on Private Parts of how you gotta suspend belief for the movie for when he plays his college self... He personally sucks, but that was a great movie...

There really is nothing essential in his catalog.

Many years ago, I remember seeing a commercial for "Special K" cereal that pandered so hard in such a heavy-handed way to women that I had this same question. It was ahead of its time, and now this kind of advertising is downright normal - but at the time, it stood out for how transparent its pandering was. It was all about "we are women and are powerful and awesome and we *eat* and you should eat Special K as a woman for your female power boost."
I asked my mom, "does this ad work for you?"
She replied with, "hell no."

We go a good bit (every 1.5-2 years) and I've hyper-planned it since I was a kid, and I thought my coworker would be overwhelmed with the lines and no planning. He told me they walked on to almost everything with hardly ever more than a 30 minute wait. Also got a walk-in spot to the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique mid-day with his daughter (no trannies), which is always booked out months in advance... We went last Columbus Day and it seemed way busier.

It was Will Ferrell playing a character called Marshal Willenholly. Which was supposed to be funny because the character was named after Marshall, Will, and Holly from Land of the Lost.

"A 17-year-old Ali Al-Shakati from Banks has been arrested in connection with the Southport [UK] stabbings and is currently in police custody.
The suspect in the Southport stabbings, Ali-Al-Shakati, was on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services. He was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.
Merseyside Police confirmed the incident is not terror-related and they are not seeking additional suspects."

Once Marvel opened the door with the last Spiderman movie a casting move like this became inevitable. It might make for a decent scene when Spiderman thinks Vic is Tony Stark reincarnated and gets rudely disabused of that notion, but aside from that I'm not sure. I haven't seen anything from Downey to make me think he can ditch the snark and act in all capital letters like Doom is supposed to act.

Tolkien was very much a believing Catholic man. He does not inject religion, per se, into the Trilogy, the Silmarillion or The Hobbit. But there is a lot of Christian Catholic symbolism in there if you look for it.

Dillon was played by Bill Conrad, Chester by Parley Baer, Doc by Howard McNear, and Kitty by Georgia Ellis. She sounds exactly like Amanda Blake, or vice versa. None of the cast from radio was picked up by the TV version.
Conrad even had to advertise the TV show on the radio. "I know you're going to like it" etc, even though they said sorry charlie. That had to sting.

It was, ovewhelmingly, an exercise in humiliation-ritual. 90% of the dialogue was pornographic, gay wishcasting, with much of it directed to various ancillary characters (and audience) to the effect of "don't you really want this [incredibly gay] thing."
There was actually a CGI gay snuff porn scene in which one NPC, being disemboweled, was connected to another NPC, being forked in the scrotum, in a similacrum of ghey/anal (in throes of death).
I've seen comments about how "ackshually Deadpool had a girlfriend so duh huh, you rubes don't get it." No, that was a pure (and obvious) head fake. If you want to know the agenda of a story, its the majority of it's imagery, not a passing comment, or plot device.
This was truly the most Satanic psy op I've ever seen, dressed up as a "movie."

Maduro used the D’s playbook: lawfare your opponent, bar the poll-watchers, sit on the election results until they can be “fixed.” Watching last night was like a replay of 2020.

I saw Rich on Johnny Carson. Another guest was a drunken Jack Palance. Balance made some comment about drummers and just about got his lights punched our. CARTON apologized to the audience but I thought it was must see TV.

The lead actress claims to be gender fluid or something but she certainly looks like a pretty pretty princess.
And...I noticed for the faction made up of blonde people they cast a bunch of black actors...which just looks stupid.

If you are discussing pure musicianship, that is different than who would fit best with a particular rock group. Neal Peart would not be a good fit for Pink Floyd for example and Nick in turn would not be a good fit for Rush.
Keltner could play whatever the song needed in the studio and is still alive AFAIK.

Adjective suggesting something supernatural; uncanny.
Uncanny; strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way.
They'd dig much deeper but for his lovely wife.

Now, what word or words define Joey and the immediate family that won't get out of the picture, off the planes, etc.? Now there's a gene pool gone awry and, as it turns out, the best thing that happened during the husk's 3 1/2 year reign of insane is little Navy Joan isn't being raised with that crew.
How about Harris? Unrest, perhaps.

Ya gotta finesse it right, dynamics, and really wail on it, but it is fun. Some tunes are fun to play, physically as well as sonically and this is one of them. This will might impress your friends. It's in one of them off-brand tunings, called DADGAD, ordinarily used to play depressing scottish tunes and Celtic stuff, a very pretty lush tuning for guitar. A few tunes are notably in alternate tuning.
The first people that I hear take advantage in recordings, is the Everly brothers. They would use alternate tunings to make their guitars play off each other, and add interest to the sound. Also "Nashville" tuning, where a whole set of light strings is tuned to a higher octave with the other guitar accompaniment.

The early Dragnet episodes were as close to film noir as you could get on TV in the fifties.

Go listen to the Buddy Rich bus tapes if you want to know who Buddy was.
He was as creative with ripping on people as he was with a pair of sticks.

RocknRolla was him just breaking away from Madonna. I didn't like it but didn't hate it. Revolver blew donkey balls... Lock Stock, Snatch, The Gentlemen, both Sherlock Holmes... I think that's my order of his stuff. I probably like Man from UNCLE ahead of RocknRolla, and Operation Fortune ahead of them, but kinda disappointed in each...

Don Brewer could sing and play, for sure.
So could Phil Collins play.
Peter Criss, he could yell a lot and play, he got his point across.
I've never liked seeing drummers sing lead, it looks stupid.
Just my opinion. The lead singer needs to be out front and mobile.

I have a calcification. Guaranteed one or two sever ear aches per year. ENT was going to operate as soon as the infection cleared.
\{Lightbulb}/ Swimmers pour alcohol into the ear canal to clear water, I'll pour vinegar into the canal to clear the calcification.
The vinegar didn't eliminate the calcification; However, it did clear the ear, the canal, and shortly, the infection. Been doing it ever since and have had not one infection in ten years. It works.
