For some reason, Stephen Colbert has taken a break from tanking late
night talk shows to trash Lord of the Rings instead, in one of the most baffling moves Hollywood has pulled in years.

It could be worse. They could have hired Philip Pullman.

He makes fun of Trump. He's mentioned the Epstein files too. I don't know why more people watch him than Fox News.

There's always Piers Morgan, one of the most disliked "journalists" in
the UK, and was alos a judge on both Britain's Got Talent and
American's Got Talent, even though he doesn't have a single grain of
talent himself. ;-)

I've quoted your .sig because soooo many of the comments don't really
address the proposed "movie" so much as appear to be anti-Colbert, anti-liberal screeds.

I too think yet another movie to add to the franchise is probably a waste
of time, and certainly doesn't help Professor Tolkien's legacy. But if
a number of you are bashing the movie solely because someone involved has politics you don't agree with, maybe you're in the wrong newsgroup.

I'd suggest alt.fan.ad-hominem.

Whoosh

Thanks ever so for making me defend Ubi. The implication is that he got
the job due to Hollywood connections and promoting the right politics,
not for having a successful record of adapting novels into movie
screenplays. And no matter how much political shitposting he does, it
doesn't prevent you from pay8ing for a movie ticket and seeing this in
theater when it opens since you are determined to prove that politics
won't make this unentertaining.

You may despise Ubi but at least he figured out how to use a .sig
delimiter. Can you figure it out too?

The idea that a /sig/ produces an implied meaning into a post is
insane.
It does, however, tell us something about the author.
And what it says about the author is that he is incapable of
separating political and non-political topics. >>----------------------------------------------------------------- >>ohh@panix.com ...Hey! Is this the "cancel culture" I keep

This, however, is a valid criticism, under the circumstances.
(I confirmed that Agent, at least, will nor recognize it as a sig and
omit it from a response.)
