Join us tomorrow as we talk about the cozy side of Tolkien's Legendarium!

I don't know how to explain this, but X-Files era David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are Team Rocket.

Sam Witwer voice acting as Maul with Ray Park doing MoCap ... what more could you possibly ask for? They're both just the best at what they do.

Happy First Contact Day!

Congratulations Tom!

No, this isn't because of wanting to have a version of Aragorn like the fox version of Robin Hood. Why would you even suggest that ... it's not ... it's ... not?

Give me an animated Lord of the Rings in the style of Disney's Robin Hood, with all the characters as some form of anthropomorphic animals.

My crows? Counting.

Holy shit, this is gold

Well, just woke up from my first "the cancer is back" dream. I'm sure I'll be having those every once in a while so I guess I should just get used to it, but damn ... that was unsettling.

That's the most Fahrenheit 451 bullshit I've ever seen in my life.

I've been reading Tolkien's letters, and I came across this today in letter 61. It seemed sadly relevant.

"How stupid everything is! and war multiplies the stupidity by 3 and its power by itself: so one’s precious days are ruled by (3x)² when x=normal human crassitude (and that’s bad enough)."

So ever since chemo, my sweat smells different, like in a bad way. So that's fun. It's been two months since I last took chemo, so I hope this goes away eventually, because DAMN.

Reading the script for the unmade John Boorman LotR movie, and what the actual fuck? It is absolutely bananas.

Frodo and Galadriel bang.

Like, sure he's evil, but does he really deserve to be played by Jared Leto?

This feels like an insult to Skeletor

Oh man, I'm so sorry. Glad it sounds like they caught it early. You'll be in my thoughts. Fuck cancer so goddamn much.

That's genuinely good to hear. I'm hoping that today was just the "first one" jitters.

First CT Scan post treatment today. Getting my first glimpse of what this is going to feel like every 6 months for the next 5 years. Spoiler: it feels bad. Today we find out if the chemo did its job.

I honestly think they're trolling at this point.

Holy shit. That is something. 😂

Got my genetic tests back today and relieved to hear that I don't have any genetic markers that make me more prone to cancer. I really didn't want to be a mutant whose mutant power was just "cancer."

I'm convinced this is intentional trolling at this point.

This is trolling at this point, with the name, right? It has to be, right? I mean, come on.

Tech bros, please keep Tolkien's name out of your mouth.

A t-shirt with the picture of a Bigfoot, two hands touching fingers with a light between them, and the movie title Cry Wilderness

Hope got me this one.

Wilderness!!!!

We interrupt this rewatch of Sliders to rewatch the John Wick movies (so I can watch the fourth one which I have not seen)
