I Am A Swede

The people behind this travesty are hacks, and I really have no words to describe how I (and seemingly many, many others) feel, so I'll just let Professor Tolkien's own words do it for me. "But I would ask them to make an effort of imagination sufficient to understand the irritation (and on occasion the resentment) of an author, who finds, increasingly as he proceeds, his work treated as it would seem carelessly in general, in places recklessly, and with no evident signs of any appreciation of what it is all about...." "The canons of narrative in any medium cannot be wholly different; and the failure of poor films is often precisely in exaggeration, and in the intrusion of unwarranted matter owing to not perceiving where the core of the original lies" "I do earnestly hope that in the assignment of actual speeches to the characters they will be represented as I have presented them: in style and sentiment. I should resent perversion of the characters" J.R.R. Tolkien

This is so typical B&B. The show is watchable, even interesting for a little while, and then, in the space of just a few episodes (sometimes even less) it becomes an unwatchable mess.... Brad Bell is so creatively exhausted it's ridiculous. There were opportunities readily available for something new on the show, but he just goes back to the endless Brooke/Ridge/Taylor mess (and everything that goes with it) that was old 25 years ago.

So is Lawrence Saint-Victor leaving too or will Carter and Quinn break up so soon?

R.I.P. I will always love "The NeverEnding Story"

O sweet Jesus, this is going to be much, much worse than I could ever imagine. This was supposed to be an official part of Amazon's marketing to entice viewers to see their show....but they had to unlist it on Youtube, because they were getting slaughtered in the comments. Something that is completely understandable. These are, according to Amazon, Tolkien "superfans" () that were invited to a private screening of a teaser trailer, and their reactions afterwards. This video should come with a warning label though. It made me want to wash my eyes with bleach.....

The more I read (and see) about this I become more and more convinced that it will be a disaster. It might look good, but storywise it will be a complete disaster....

^^ I know! To call it ridiculous would be an understatement!

Well.... I found this list and....wow, I don't know what to say....... The top ten episodes that defined Yorkshire's iconic Emmerdale as voted by you

Uh-oh...... Langya: New virus infects 35 people in eastern China
