Fake conservative ‘comedian’ who has severe TDS is announced to a project no one asked for about utter nonsense involving things which never appeared in any of Tolkien’s works…


Why must a project be requested by anyone? Ars gratia artis, right?

Dude is ostensibly a huge fan, so this is his passion project.

Might it include his politics? Maybe...probably, he's not the sole writer. But the impetus, the reason for making this isn't solely political, which was your assertion. Thus, leading me to believe, accurately, that your brain is cooked.

What do you want me to do? Ramble on and on about how much this is not a Tolkien story, it’s nothing but a cash grab, & what a piece of shite Stephen Colbert is?


Pointless.

Please, somebody, convince the Tolkien Estate to allow HBO to make a faithful adaptation of the Silmarillion as a series. They would knock it out of the park and it would be a beauty to behold.

Doesn't matter if I want it or not, that's what you'll do.

I mean, it's not great, but worse than Rings of Power?

It could come with a complementary gunshot wound to my shoulder and I still think it'll be better than that.

Whatever woke subtleties exist in RoP would be amplified a million fold with Colbert writing a LOTR film.

I dont think Colbert will make it political.
I have seen no evidence to suggest he won't

His entire being is wrapped in partisan hackery.

Don’t forget about War of the Rohirrim.



Awful.

frick him

Fired comedy writer known for writing TV comedy crap and has zero MOVIE writing experience gets green lit to work with Peter Jackson on a garbage story that's supposed include stuff that wasn't in the movies and some made up journey never penned by Tolkien himself?

This is 1000% Hollywood's diss because of their deranged idea that Colbert was 'fired' for some imaginary free speech reasons which were never at all the issue. They think this'll be a dig at conservatives and Trump, which is 90 % of what drives current day projects.
