1st film has some great bits & it had a huge amount to cover. The next 2…. had a moment or two but I found myself just getting through it somehow.
Part of it was I had mentally cast Alan Rickman as Saruman, ever since Die Hard. But he was Snape & they got Christopher Lee

Another series that we kids consumed was Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising, way before Harry Potter. Stay far far away from the US film, it is absolutely heinous

Read The Hobbit when I was 12, thought it was a fun kids’ story. Later read LOTR about same time The Silarilluon was published.
I still love the moral at the end about war coming all the way home to one’s doorstep. And redemption; forgiveness. BUT: Will never forgive Peter Jackson for the last movie omitting basically all that.

@researchbuzz I said in 2017 that we’d let a criminal gang of clowns loose in our nation’s bank vault & they were literally going to run riot, kneecapping each other in maximum greed overdrive…. But now we’re in the stage where everyone still around starts throwing all the rest under the bus
@tracytran Writeup on Yahoo is pretty grim - sounds like we need a real energy boost. Not sure where we find it

Getting my own escape migration plan in shape. Hoping we can hold out without SHTF in the next 3-4 years. Heard good things about both Guatemala and Panama …
@Bix That’s $1000 per hair.
The DNC needs to hire us, we’d beat this story to death after all these years of bleating about every single D’s hair, Nancy’s ice cream…

My work phone ringer stays on mute, as does nearly everyone’s here on the Cubicle Farm. Somehow it always goes straight to voicemail too. <sarcasm font >How curious… </s>

Unexpected precipitation is a possibility today- be prepared to get wet as those sudden popup showers could make a mess of your outdoor plans…!

If you need a dietary suppressant, go look through Urine Therapy Facebook….
These are the same people who pay $99 for a baggie of black soil… from a landfill
@WeThePeople Recall reading all the Herriot All Things Great & Small books & in one, a farmer had made & applied a poultice using cow shit.
Humans have tried most everything, several times, in spite of no evidence that it does any good at all
@WeThePeople I see that Newspeak er Newsweek has published an atrocious screed by Shartnado… I won’t link to it.

Unleash his chaos machine of influence & disinformation at… well whatever targets his high bidders want to.

Oh we got both kinds: Country AND Western!
