I'm close to finishing the 19 and 1/2 hr audiobook for "Fellowship of the ring". Even though it is 15 1/2 hours longer than extended film the book covers a similar amount of story. The reason why it is so long is the great attention Tolkien makes for describing emotions, the environment, and lore. So far the LOTR is far superior to the Hobbit and a lot more artistically written than Game of Thrones book 1. Peter Jackson's film really enhances the text. The film itself deletes stuff, adds stuff, but maintains most of the key events. As a consequence, I can't see the Peter Jackson film ever being surpassed.

Between Mariupol and Donbass the Ukrainian marine corps has been decimated past the point of return. Weird that the Ukrainians are allowing indicators of their defeat appear in the media these past few weeks. I saw a PRAVDA war correspondent claim that the average Ukrainian combat unit is bled white: only 20% professional and 80% conscripts. I assume that these conscripts are from their reservist pool. In WW2 the German army was in this condition by September 1944. Azot Plant and Severodonesk fell to the Russians today.

The Skellige maps are a masterpiece in world design. I don't think any game has matched them since. They look like real world locations I visited along the sea and in parks, particularly near the US-Canadian border. Witcher 3 Interactive Map - Skellige (witcher3map.com) The structure of this area is different from White Orchard/Velen/Novigrad. It is far more exploratory has better visuals of nature. The key characters of the books are mostly absent except for Yennefer. A key difference is the Viking theme, pervasive throughout vs. the multi-cultural vibe on the continent. Except for minor characters like Crac, Bran, Mousesack, Hjalmar, the rest of Skellige world is a CDPR creation. These characters appear in the early books, which cover Ciri's childhood up to around age 12. The developers seemed to have really pulled out a ton of Viking stereotypes and inserted them into the game. Around the same time, the "Vikings" TV series was popular. Many observers believe that the Assassin's Creed franchise borrowed a lot from Skellige for their Viking game.

Not a Blog | George R.R. Martin (georgerrmartin.com) "There are four live-action successor shows in development at HBO. Word got out about three of them some time ago. TEN THOUSAND SHIPS, the Nymeria show, helmed by Amanda Segel. SEA SNAKE, aka NINE VOYAGES, with Bruno Heller. And the Dunk & Egg show, THE HEDGE KNIGHT or KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, with Steve Conrad writing. " He also continues that they are preparing for pilots, so it is likely that some of these shows will never be made.

I don't like how they made Billy Butcher so powerful and Homelander less dominant. In the comic he knows that Homelander can easily tear him limb from limb and doesn't engage. Billy butcher is more like an in-between superperson, he's better than most superheroes in hand to hand fighting but lacks superpowers. A big appeal of the comic was how insane and demi-god like Homelander was compared to the other superheroes. This framework was very important for the series. So it gave the "boys" an underdog/resistance fighter vibe. They had to hide from and outsmart this monster.
