Then, suddenly, a portal opens: it’s The Flash! He’s followed by several Batmen, Wonder Woman, Neo, at least three Jokers, and the most recognizable of the Looney Tunes properties. “We need your help for a threat that’s coming for all of us” growls the Michael Keaton Batman.

The marvellous friendly magical people all have to leave sooner or later as the world can't sustain them any more, and the great heroes and the societies they fought so hard to protect are all going to fade into myth and mundane history. And none of the heroes made it out without scars, physical and mental, Frodo and Bilbo explicitly leave with the Elves because the Ring's left a mark on them that can't be healed anywhere else, and Sam knows he'll eventually join them. All the best they can hope for is that life goes on, and there is joy.

I gotta admit I'm pretty ignorant of LOTR lore. I just fundamentally think the idea of endlessly fleshing out its universe with extra stories is.... not exactly un-tolkien-like you know? I definitely am not into the endless mining of content from every IP, but the only part that really surprised me in this case is that they're making their own poo poo up instead of consulting the Silmarillion etc

While I enjoy The Hobbit and to a slightly lesser degree The Lord of the Rings, I overall am not a fan of Tolkien's kind of melancholy view of the march of history. The entire idea of magic disappearing from the lands, all the "great" races and people leaving the world, and the world falling into mundane dreariness is kind of off-putting to me once you think about it too hard. It really feels like something that's attractive if you are a well-read, educated white dude who feels like some vague concept of "the past" was better and that everything new is worse, but it kind of falls apart if you consider that, no, a lot of stuff is better than it was before. A lot of the big Tolkien fans I know are nice dudes, but they are the kind of guys that just cannot stop reminiscing about some non-existent better time when being able speak in middle-English and wearing a nice hat was signs of great intelligence instead of indications of them just being incels.

Would I like to see some really talented film makers who love Tolkien(not those cringe vapid airheads Amazon hired) take a crack at Beren and Luthien, Children of Hurin, or some Studio Ghibli style animation stuff of the first age? Yes. But, thats completely different than trying to build an MCU / Star Wars style empire out of it.

Tolkien was attempting to build a sort of English myth, and integrating both his experiences of being at war and scholarship on early mediaeval history - all of these contain elements of outsized heroic characters which contrast with the drabber present. It definitely creates tension with some more modern ideals but still makes for great art (see also Parade's End for a more explicit treatment of this)

To be fair, it was written after the First World War.

Just read that Tom Sizemore had a brain aneurysm and is not expected to ever come out of the coma he's in, so his family's deciding whether or not to cut life support.

Apparently Saban films doesn't care which is mainly what he did for the last 15 years. Wish the teamsters who were running around with hammers trying to find him after he assaulted the child had actually managed to find him

Was Dr. Drew always a horrible quack or did that happen later because my memory of him on Loveline was "Dude with decent advice putting up with idiot co-host". But that was also like 20 years ago at this point so I'm going to assume he always sucked and was just better at hiding it.

I mean, the other guy on the show was Adam Carolla. I'm not sure about the 90s during his Loveline days, but he was a piece of poo poo as soon as Celebrity Rehab started airing because it was obvious the show was never about treatment the way they'd bring in surprise guests designed to make people lose control and relapse. "Now I know this is your third season on the show Jeff Conway and the whole world has watched you deteriorate, but you've been doing well these past few days. So we're going to bring in your girlfriend who you've been arrested for assaulting" And then Drew had the balls to say "Oh, Jeff was too far gone, we couldn't help him" Pope Corky the IX fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Feb 28, 2023 |

yeah I think Adam was an open douchebag so nobody expected much else, but being the 90s it was seen as the closest thing to sex positivity Dr. Drew being a "real" doctor probably made him look better in comparison to the murder psychics on Montel, Maurey, Ricky Lake etc

Big surprise but the new Children of the Corn reboot is getting bad reviews. Apparently they added a weird revenge angle where the kids hate the adults because the adults killed a bunch of kids in a botched hostage situation. Also a muddled message about GMOs and government subsidies.

The original King stories is alright, but um there really isn't much to it.
