You've probably noticed that a lot of right-wing ghouls love The Lord of the Rings: Giorgia Meloni, Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance, many such cases. In my latest essay, I set out to put neofascist affinity for Tolkien in religious and historical context - and to show why the far right gets Tolkien wrong.

Serkis making comments similar to what that POS Muskrat said on Twitter ain't convincing me it's just general ignorance. Especially, when he's been part of two movies this year backed by Angel Studios.
I'm in the hospital again, waiting on more surgery. Missing work and income, still have to pay the plumbers and my regular bills. Help if you can #MutualAid ko-fi.com/ofgodsandgam...

Sabretooth and Wolverine are just a more toxic & bloodier version of Char & Amuro.
And the award for Creepiest Dragon of the Day goes to... Glaurung (1981) by the late, great Roger Garland. If you're old enough you'll remember this one from the cover of the 1982 Unfinished Tales paperback by Unwin. A truly weird and icky Great Worm emerges from a sphincter-like gate #Tolkien 😱
Robin Hood movies binge is over, now I’m binging wine movies apparently, all bc I decided to watch James Hong’s The Vineyard
Letterboxd@letterboxd.social · 4w agoHappy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🦸
Finally got around to watching the second episode of season 2 of X-Men ‘97 yesterday & I definitely got goosebumps & teared up a little with that X-Force opening.
To my knowledge, Tolkien never says why the Dwarves call themselves ‘Khazad’. However, we do know that Adûnaic was strongly influenced by Khuzdul. Given this, Adûnaic’s word for ‘7’ being ‘Hazad’, & the significance of 7 for Dwarves, we can conclude they use it bc they’re ‘the people of the seven’.
Who is the Elves’ favorite film director? (I wish BlueSky had a ‘Mark as Spoiler’ function so maybe I’ll do it in katakana so y’all can just hit ‘Translate.’)
Mid-year review of films watched. At 556, which has me on track to hit the goal of 1000 films in 2026. Obviously, the lowest week of viewings i had was during WestMoot. Need to get a few more extra ones to make up for when I’m at SDCC & a family reunion & can’t watch anything.
I'm now offering color character portraits (waist-up) in this style! ⭐️$100USD each ✨️+$85 for one additional character Request here: ko-fi.com/c/b6ae22d79d #commissions #kofi

Happy 100th Birthday to Mel Brooks! Definitely responsible for shaping my sense of humor early on, even predating The Simpsons for me thanks to my dad showing my siblings & I his movies at such a young age. Grateful I got to see him live back in 2018. Long live the king!
RIP 美輪明宏/Miwa Akihiro. A queer icon of Japanese cinema & culture. You may know them best as the voice of Moro in Princess Mononoke or the WotW in Howl’s but is most famous for the titular Black Lizard in Kinji Fukasaku’s adaptation of the Mishima penned play based on an Edogawa Rampo story.
