    If you start the Fellowship of the Ring (extended edition) at 11:43 PM, dude that’s so late. Do you know how long that movie is? You’re gonna be up way past your bedtime

    You'd think they'd want to discuss how it won as many awards as The Matrix, ET, Fellowship of the Ring, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Parasite... How it has the most wins of any Vampire movie ever... How its success further cements that Coogler's deal could be Hollywood's future. But alas. It's Black.

    watching Fellowship of the Ring and it’s crazy how dated this movie is now. the whole script is just them reading reddit memes from 20 years ago. “one does not simply walk into mordor,” “and my ax,” etc. Internet culture references never age well!

    Any movie over 3 hours long is a holiday season movie. Andrei Rublev, Seven Samurai, The Godfather, Jeanne Dielman, Fellowship of the Ring. Maybe go watch The Brutalist. Whatever. Sit down and enrich your life. You've probably got nothing going on today anyway.

    We are very sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. Chase memorably played Samara in The Ring back in 2002, and also appeared in Donnie Darko. She voiced Lilo in the animated movie Lilo & Stitch, and later starred in the TV series Big Love.

    THE RING is one of the scariest horror movie premises for me because, while I can convince myself I wouldn’t go into the creepy house or the dark basement, there is absolutely no way I could resist watching the forbidden VHS tape.

    Sick day so I watched Fellowship of the Ring with the kids. God, what a beautifully made thing. Particularly in the first hour, as compared to current Hollywood mainstream stuff, it’s SO acting led. All the stuff leading up to the hobbits leaving the shire is amazing film. A heavy eeriness over it.

    Movie recommendation for tonight, Ring. No, not The Ring, but the original 1998 Japanese, Ring. It is in my opinion one of the best horror movies ever made, the absolute dread that this movie conjures is suffocating. Bonus for having Hiroyuki Sanada who I always love to see.
