Chapter 4, 38: Doesn’t Everyone Love the Genealogical Chapters?

If I had some way of making everyone love the The Silmarillion, I could make a killing going long on the New Zealand dollar.

....I am having trouble not making fun.

Book 4, 37 Girl Talk

John Carter, Warlord of Mars, etc, etc.

Here is the "epic fight scene." Nice work, actually. I just question the need to give John Carter Civil War-PTSD. And to make him a dirt-poor homesteader. And the decision to make this stinker of a movie in the first place. I do think Lynn Collins and Taylor Kitsch put in a credible performance, especially given that they were apparently locked in a concentration camp for the duration. (A concentration camp with a great gym, but I'm not sure that makes it any better.)

Unfortunately, the poor box office means that we're probably not going to see Battleship II.
