Speaking of "Lord of the Rings cover bands" which is trending...
I've always wanted to start a Smiths cover band called The Smiths of Eregion. This Charming Man becomes about Annatar.

Martin Scorsese says he dreamed of Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘FRANKENSTEIN’ after seeing the film.
“I actually dreamed of it… It’s a remarkable work. The film stays with you, it just stays with you. It’s very moving. A remarkable feat. Grand opera.”
