In all seriousness, this is the Hobbit. In reality this is "The Hobbit".
And I say that with a mind towards adaptation.
PJ is wot tuk the holy writ uv Tolkien and turned it unto prfofits as it wuz.

That image was no accident, no matter how much you insist upon it. That image and any and all portions of any film or book or screenplay is only what it is according to how it spoke to you. No author, publisher, director or artist of any sort can be all things to all people and could never satisfy ...

Take this for what it is worth.....just an observation. A few weeks ago at 8 on a Saturday night, Rebecca and I went to see Catching Fire. It was opening weekend and we struggled to find seats. By the time we got into the theater, there were maybe ten seats open. We went to the same theater last nig...

Wet blanket time. I won't say that I hated the movie, but it is likely that if Rebecca wasn't with me, I would have walked out. It was tolerable PJ stuff for awhile, but when I saw Bombur fighting with a barrel over him, I had had enough. The spider and Beorn scenes were just all wrong and turned in...

I certainly don't have many answers nor do I possess the data or the ability to predict what will happen. Certainly the loss of revenue will be somewhat mitigated by new people signing up for insurance, but i don't know if that number is sufficient to offset all of the people between 22-26 that no l...

But surely the parent is also paying for the child to be on their policy until 26, so if the child can get insured through their own workplace instead of their parent, wouldn't that be preferable? For the parent, at least? It looks to me like that is acceptable. Or am I missing something? Apparentl...

From the Department of Labor website: The Affordable Care Act requires plans and issuers that offer dependent coverage to make the coverage available until a child reaches the age of 26. Both married and unmarried children qualify for this coverage. This rule applies to all plans in the individual ...

If only it were only the website debacle. There are far more reaching issues than that. Cancelled insurance plans. Illogical management decisions. I have a son that is 6 months shy of his 21st birthday. He is no longer attending any type of schooling. He is gainfully employed and he is offered a hea...

This is the danger of foisting an agenda that has no apparent sound method of enactment. The entire democratic party is on the verge of political collapse, something the republicans couldn't manage to accomplish on their own. Ideals are one thing. Practical application is another. We have likely bee...

Lou Reed was purportedly a rather large horse's behind to everyone at all times. Mick Jagger has been accused of being a misogynist. Phil Spector was found guilty of murder. Heck the list of modern day artists and their unseemly acts is long long long and full of gory details. I have no idea, what o...

Allow me please to qualify that last post. It came across harsher than I intended. Of course it would be great to have tickets to game seven in Boston, a place that hasn't seen a clinching game in 95 years. That would an astounding, and you can bet that is an event for the ages. Mainly what I was ge...

..... Drugs cost more in the U.S. than in other countries. Fact. So, why? .... Healthcare discussions always seem to come to this end point for me. We have a free market economy that includes pharmaceuticals, hospitals, labs and pretty much every area of healthcare. We are trying to insure coverage...
