The Hall of Fire

Wait, what?

Galadriel is way too short.

Discuss.

Much more competent reply brief filed jointly on behalf of all of the media interveners.

From Judicial Watch's reply brief to the DoJ opposition to unsealing the affadavit: The public interest in the contents of the affidavit cannot be understated. The secrecy surrounding the search warrant, and the affidavit that led to its issuance, has caused the nation to convulse with intrigue and ...

I don't know anything about this Star Wars show. Are you just referring to the coincidence of the name, or do they genuinely make a reference to The Land of Gift?

I get the same feeling. Even if I hate it (assuming that I see it).

I've seen a couple of raving twitter reports. Of course, that is almost always the case, but I have little doubt that the show will be raging success. And all joking and blustering aside, it is far more important that they make a show that is intelligible and interesting to someone who has never rea...

Better that than Ewoks.

Or Jar-Jar.

With little Entings running around in the middle of it. Aren't they cute!

If you compare that map to the "famous map of Mordor" closely, you can see that it is quite different. That's a little too smarmy, even for a snob like you. ;) It's Mordor, and that's the Sea of Rhun. Differences in detail, in a map, are a completely different thing than major geographica...

The 538 overall odds keep inching into the Democrats favor. They now give the Dems a 63% chance of holding the Senate, and a 22% ch...

The Red Sox are still teaching that lesson.

Just sayin'.

SMH.

I'd rather keep my expectations low and cynical and be pleasantly surprised to be wrong, then the alternative.

Hopefully you'll get a chance to set him straight!

I don't think you can count on anything being necessarily true to what Tolkien wrote. That is not to say that there won't be things that are, but there will also things that will not be, including geographcial features. It occurs to me that actually it is likely that in some ways the show will becom...

The room for doubt is that they are moving things around to suit their own purposes. Until I hear it stated "this is Mordor" I will not be convinced, either way.
