You're still on "book 3" of the Lord of the Rings, I take it? (The first book of The Two Towers)

Yep, this book is structured very differently.

Ahhhh. I had no idea that was called Dawson casting. The crazy thing about it is how much that happens in animation (which makes sense) and live action, which doesn't always make the most sense. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was like that, for a long time. Not sure if it still is, but the...

Yeah, the 3rd episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi released on Disney+, which puts us halfway through the story.

What is that?

When Vader left Obi-Wan he was a learner. He hasn't rejoined Obi-Wan since then. Being in the same place is not the same as being joined together in the same order. Anakin Skywalker did leave Obi-Wan behind as a learner. He continued to train, even beyond this, and became a master before...

Exactly. Which is true of any studio that picks up Narnia. In this case, the hands-off approach could lead to the best adaptation in the right hands. Ironically, it sounds like the right team at other studios than Netflix could lead to bad adaptations, if the hands-off approach sticks around...

I just learned something new about how Netflix used to handle productions, which may change now that they're restructuring how they spend as of a memo that dropped, I think, today. Someone I know works/worked on Netflix productions. This person said that Netflix was/is this person's favorite...

That is awesome!

I believe that a lot of the Netflix losses are coming from the false belief that the pandemic is over, so a lot of people are returning to the office (by choice or because they are being forced), and this is probably the #1 reason for the loss of subscribers leading those who pumped money into...

Wow, hadn't heard of that one. Netflix has so much content in the works, it is crazy. I will probably eventually cancel it, after I get Stranger Things, Cobra Kai, and Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous all on DVD... and maybe after my daughter's show, Gabby's Dollhouse, is either done or...

This is true. It had been a full year. I did know someone who had been to war, who resented the fact that he wasn't given discounts or whatever, everywhere he went, having been a soldier. I don't know how long that resentment lasted, but I do remember it being a long time. He seemed to hold on...

Let's dissect this for a moment. First, as I have said before, the cannon was ready to go and nothing he would have done could have stopped it from firing. Not with that little ship. It was just about to fire and then it did right after he got knocked off-course, and that blast would have likely...

While I disagree with your view of The Force Awakens (that film was like a breath of fresh air after being underwater for a while), I appreciate your comments. It's interesting that Episodes II and III are your favorites. Mine used to be VI, but now it's literally the sequel trilogy, and I do...

Not sure if you meant this.. but both Prince Caspian and Captain America: The First Avenger were written by the same guys.

I have now watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife a bunch. I don't even know how many times. I put it on in the background when I am going to bed, and I have been watching tons of behind the scenes things. Fantastic movie! Perfect end to the trilogy and start to the future.

Welcome aboard!

Rey is not a Mary Sue. Period. Above is a 2 and a half hour video explaining why she isn't. The facts are all there. Luke Skywalker was the same Luke we always knew. Brash, quick tempered, etc. Rey was untrained in the ways of the force, but a quick learner. She had to be able to quickly...

Not very well used at the moment. From what I've seen with other communities on Discord, there's a time when they start to take off, and it is when there's actually activity with the subject matter. For instance, this other one that I started at the same time, only last fall finally got moving...

I just love Star Wars. 😀 I wouldn't call what happened to Han making him a total failure in his personal life. I know way too many people in similar situations, and I would never call them total failures. Han's heroic status returned the moment Ben Solo returned to the light, if he had lost it...
