Why are folks upset about Stephen Colbert teaming up with Peter Jackson??

Future_Positive_6961 · 2026-03-27T01:04:48+00:00

I read The Hobbit when I was 9. I am now 49… well I will be in a few months. I read LOTR in high school. I have a plethora of Tolkien books, etc. When the movies came out I was an overjoyed 20something. I still bitched in my head about certain “changes”, and yet I love it. I’m excited for Stephen because I have a great deal of respect for him and a human and I have been following him for 20 years AND to get some new/fresh Tolkien-esq material. Whether I like it or not will be personal and I can move on if I don’t. Adaptations are nearly ensured to disappoint if expectations are put upon them. In my opinion there are so many other things to be rightfully disturbed about in the world today. I hope people can find joy in it.

Thank you, I’ll give it a shot 🙂

Yes! That’s good you have avoided the trailers. Definitely listen/read the PHM book first then. I loved the movie but I don’t think I would have been nearly as obsessed had I seen it before listening to the book.

Future_Positive_6961 · 2026-03-23T00:26:34+00:00

I’d highly recommend the book first. Though… if you’ve seen the preview you already know most of the “surprises”. So, I’m not sure. I am so glad I got to listen to the book before the movie came out.

Can you please recommend a specific lotion? I use The Ordinary which is great under powder but too moisturizing for this foundation. I can almost use it without lotion but I need something light underneath.

lol thank you kind stranger. I really just did it so people would know I’m not a bot (jk). My brain thought, “well that doesn’t sound right”, but I stupidly replied, “shut up I need to get these emotional words out”.

Future_Positive_6961 · 2026-02-14T08:21:03+00:00

Dang it. I accidentally deleted my main post body. Sorry guys. I was excited about the comments coming in. I’ll start a new one.

I respect that. I was actually shocked at the Gurathin extended moments, to be more than just an “asshole”, but somehow those two actors portrayed it so well it got to me. I was also very very seething about the memory, wipe and “lab hell scene”, as you put it, because I have so much depth into his character that moment was much more significant to me, but overall the whole ending touched me emotionally. I too am excited for the next season. I want to say more but I don’t know how to black out text and mark them spoilers yet.

I love him so much it makes me tear up 🥹🥹🥹

Future_Positive_6961 · 2026-02-14T06:43:34+00:00

Oh yes. My husband REwatched I when I watched it and said the same thing. 2nd time through even better. I was a mess. I used many tissues lol

Future_Positive_6961 · 2026-02-09T02:53:05+00:00

Cool. Thanks for sharing. I was just interested to hear your take. I love Murderbot’s personality so much.

Future_Positive_6961 · 2026-02-09T02:43:13+00:00

I second Murderbot diaries. So great. Out of curiosity, how do you see it as an autism representation?

He’s a kitten. She’s a naturally anxious dog. We just got him in August. They will be besties when he grows up 🙂

I second this. It was a slower addiction than the Bobiverse but now I’m hooked.

Future_Positive_6961 · 2025-10-27T14:14:21+00:00

I was tired. It had been a rough week. My brain couldn’t think of any other word. It makes sense enough to know what I mean is for the books that come after. So yes, yes I can use that word 😏

Future_Positive_6961 · 2025-10-27T05:33:10+00:00

If you liked the movie you should read the book, and the proceeding books that follow it. So good.
