Behold! Peter Jackson’s LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy has been at the top of our list for years, now we’re finally going there…and back again!

Starting Monday, join us for an exploration of Middle Earth and the epic fantasy genre in our new miniseries, ONE SCENE TO RULE THEM ALL 💍
Thank you to @theguardian.com for including our series on The Lord of the Rings in their snowstorm entertainment guide!

If you need something to do inside this week, well… let’s just say these three episodes will fill a LOT of time

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Dir. Stephen Torrington

BONUS!

That's right — we’re following up the greatest film trilogy of all time with the first movie that dared to ask the question “what if Mr. Hyde was the Hulk?"

This week on Patreon, we're having some (very devastating and enlightening) TRAIN DREAMS. And we're trying to make sense of the HUNT FOR GOLLUM rumors (Baby Yoda is out. Baby Smeagol is in??)

Also, GOOD FORTUNE, IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU, and more!

After hearing Billy Boyd sing at a cast party one night, writer Philippa Boyens asked him to write a song for the movie based a poem from FELLOWSHIP she gave him

After only 1-2 days to prepare, Boyd sang the song on set, and it brought the crew to tears

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring,

The Horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time!

@dominicknero.bsky.social on the Mirror of Galadriel —

“It has the vision of fantasy; it has direct, unfiltered communication of the text; and it has [Jackson's trademark] old fashioned, practical effects, stagecraft horror... all of that together represents, to me, the full effort of this film”

Marty Supreme will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.

This week we’re chasing after Josh Safdie’s big, freaky, ping pong odyssey starring Timothée Chalamet.

Also, first impressions of AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, the prologue of THE ODYSSEY, and the new DOOMSDAY teasers!
