Priscilla has gotten a tiny bit thicker again. Good for her, there was a period there where she seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight?

If the theory is true that this is their version of Benjen Blackwood, that kid is going to be a bad-ass when he grows up.

House of the Dragon (2022)
There are theories about who this kid might be and whether or not he will return after the time jump. (Most popular theory being that he is their version of young Benjen Blackwood). Favorite scene of the episode. @Cult Icon Apparently Alicent is a much more interesting character once she is played by Olivia Cooke. Several reviewers who have seen more episodes have mentioned this. I agree that the young actress who is currently portraying that character is a bit light-weight and not very interesting.

Thanks! Fantastic shoot. Girl has really been underused by Guess considering how perfect she is for their brand.

Probably has more to do with matching the dub to the lips moving. "Eighty-five" is much shorter than "quatre-vingt-cinq". They probably struggled to match the lip movements up properly to the dub. So they used "soixante-cinq" instead.

I was in my first year of university when Phantom Menace was released. I too was looking forward to it. And let down with the actual film, unfortunately.

Not sure how you even enforce such a thing, unless you have cameras all over the place.

I never interpreted this as "mercy" from the Predator. He is a hunter who likes to go up against dangerous prey. But I think he did not kill her because she was pregnant, the same way a human hunter might spare a pregnant doe.

House of the Dragon (2022)
I have rewatched some classic GoT scenes on YT earlier this week and it really lays bare my problems with House of the Dragon. They are just utterly without charm and fun. Like just say Arya and the Hound's walkabout through the Seven Kingdoms. There is nothing like that in House and it's also not clear where it could come from, with the characters we have currently been introduced to.

Predator II was rather poorly received by critics. I thought it was okay at the time, but not nearly as good as the original film. Anyway, they changed Galadriel's backstory to fit her into their narrative. I can see Tolkien purists hating that. What I cannot get is them accusing her of being a Mary Sue when she is canonically like top three or top four most powerful character in the original trilogy. You cannot at the same time insist that Tolkien's vision is respected and then complain that Galadriel is too powerful or skilled. On the subject of changes being made from Tolkien, if the Stranger who landed with the Harfoots is either meant to be Gandalf or one of the Blue Wizards, then that would mean they are messing majorly with the time line there too.

Leonardo DiCaprio (GENERAL DISCUSSION)
Huh, Kristen doesn't really seem to defend Leo. She's not attacking him either. She mostly seems to argue against the notion that women lose their value over the age of 25.

So who else is in that clique? I think Scarlett Leithold too? And Lily Easton?

Is she pals with the Herbert sisters?

He cannot be Gandalf according to the time line. It's too early for Gandalf's appearance. But they have changed a lot already. So it's possible.

The main issue I have with Rings is that so many of the story lines leave me indifferent. I really only care about Galadriel's story and to a slightly lesser degree Arondir and Bronwyn. The rest are pretty underwhelming up to this point. Unless the revelation of the Stranger's identity makes the Harfoots story a lot more interesting.

House of the Dragon (2022)
I don't really like it so far. I hope it improves. I loved the original show (until the final season and a half kind of ruined it a bit). So far House of the Dragon hasn't gotten close to even average Game of Thrones episodes for me. Let alone some of the better/best ones.

I like Rings better than House of the Dragon so far. House of the Dragon is like the most boring version of Game of Thrones. Imagine Game of Thrones but none of the fun/funny characters are there. So no Tyrion, Bronn, Pod, Jaime, Tormund, ... And then make it another ten percent more boring. The cast is also pretty forgettable, other than Paddy Considine (who does do a good job playing Viserys). I don't get how this could have happened. GRRM is closely involved and he does have a sense of humor. Certainly his main book series is a lot funnier than this stuff. I don't think casual fantasy fans (like those Game of Thrones attracted in droves) are going to keep on watching such a serious and dour affair. Not that I think Rings is a perfect show. It's also pretty flawed, but two episodes in it has kept my attention more than House of the Dragon.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
It is canon that Galadriel single-handedly tears down Dol Guldur. Yet she is being called a Mary Sue for defeating a troll. They have changed he character from the books though, but not in terms of power level. Galadriel should be busy founding her own kingdom at this point in the time line (roughly speaking), not still chasing Sauron. But I guess they did this because they really wanted to have her as a character on the show.
