    🪦 Chuck Mangione, Jazz legend known for ‘Feels So Good,’ dies at 84.

    https://apnews.com/article/chuck-mangione-dies-a795d6fbc77cab5c8e85124dc3dffd1d This was another artist my grandfather liked. Though it was a sad time, I felt it was priceless sitting and listening to records with my grandfather.

    Video Game Legend of Zelda -- Master Sword

    Anyone get to this point? I'm not a video gamer, but someone said there seem to be references, particularly to the Master Sword sequence, in this recent music video, and wondered if the maker had played it himself: Of course, there's a whole lot more going on there, which I won't go into, but...

    Ridley Scott's 'Legend'

    Back in the 80s Legend was rotated quite heavily on cable but I never bothered to try to watch the whole thing. After 30+ years I've finally decided to watch it from start to finish. I have no memory of what I thought about it then but now I'm shocked at how bad it is. The visuals are good but...

    Who penned the tales aside from The Hobbit in Tolkien's world?

    So Tolkien always intended for his stories to have been written by characters in universe however as far as I know the Hobbit which in universe is named ''There and Back again by Bilbo Baggins'' is the only book who's in universe author we know, hench why there can be two versions of the...

When he was working on the sillmarillon...

    Arthurian legend and Christianity

    Hello Tolkien is critical of Arthurian legend, partly because it is British (as opposed to English - I think it might be Welsh), and also because, he says, it is too explicitly Christian: “For reasons which I will not elaborate, that seems to me fatal” (Letters 2006: 144). Given the...

    The Next Great Summer Blockbuster: The Legend of HOGZILLA!

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,275524,00.html My favorite part (obviously) is about the possiblity of film rights. Boy, do I love bad ideas for horror flicks . . . But, yeah, take a look at this picture. If I were 11 years old that thing would scare me witless. Apparently it weighs an...

    The legend and history of Dunharrow

    Another thing that one doesn't give too much thought to unless they delve into the history of ME. When Theoden and company ride to Dunharrow, it is explained like this: I don't have a copy of Sil here with me. Possibly the third race of man who might have migrated during the First Age when...
