I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

Would that be acting though?

Can I turn in my Geek card voluntarily, like resign or something? I think I'm finally ready to go full Hipster.

(P.S. wouldn't Lord of the Rings have been the "geek" equivalent of "our Black Panther" not that that was such a monumental moment for me.)

There is no geek equivalent of Black Panther because geeks are not an oppressed class.

If you wanted to confine your discussions purely to the Hollywood custom of partitioning off genre and perceived-genre* films into lower budget tiers with inadequate studio backing, then you can make a somewhat tortured analogy that LotR broke fantasy out of its box in the same way that Black panther has hopefully broken black-led cast movies out of that box.

*ie, if there are too many black actors in a film, regardless of the subject matter, studios put it in the "black film" box and cuts its budget by 75%.

Man I really need to get working on my novel, if RPO can have success, why can't my self insert attempts at writing positive power fantasies work.

The answer is of course I procrastinate and I can't come up with any good stakes to make the whole plot work.

I admit 100% that part of my hatred is that Cline wrote and got a book published. My biggest stumbling block is just the opening. Once I get that, I have everything worked out.

We have a new Superman and it's NIC CAGE in the Teen Titans Go! movie

Also Lil Yachty will be Green Lantern and Halsey will be Wonder Woman. I wouldn't expect much more than quick scene for any of these three honestly.

Casting Nic Cage as Superman is great though, it's a very specific reference and I am glad for it.
