What a wonderful surprise to see @Passages_Pod’s original artwork appear on this cover. Beautiful.

Print is magical, and it never gets old to hold one of these in the papery flesh! @pauljpastor @MrsKatyCarl @ecarrington725 @DanielKWilliam4 @profjoegriffith @matthew_loftus @Digitalliturgy @MischaWillett @SJ_Murray and several others not on this ex-bird site!

Ok I made a blunder here. I was thinking of 'A New Shadow,' Tolkien's potential sequel to LOTR.

I didn't realize this was Colbert's project that covers the Barrow-wights and Tom Bombadil.

[Caleb Wait @calebwait]

Tolkien gave up writing this project because he said that a new evil, focused on a secret cult of men who are fanboys of Sauron, was too cynical and cast doubt on the victory and eucatastrophe of LOTR.

Picking up what Tolkien decidedly put down is quite a choice.

Peter Jackson says 'The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past' is in the scriptwriting stage ⚔️

The film takes place 14 years after 'The Return of the King'

@CorbinDallasDET Ahh you are right! I'm mistaken. I looked it up, I think it was going to be called a New Shadow.

@redeemed_zoomer Congrats, Richard!

Monstrous idiots and barbarians.

[Caleb Wait @calebwait]

I appreciate that the topics on Interesting Times are still interesting. But I’m still eager for Douthat to get his own podcast again.

This is subjective but … Name three PERFECT movies. No argument. No explanation. Just three flicks you think are perfect. Here's mine:

(1) Raiders of the Lost Ark
(2) The Empire Strikes Back
(3) The Sting (1973)

I’ve been reading these by @MichaelHorton_ on my train journeys recently, and maybe it’s just that I don’t have my ear to the ground anymore, but they are far too prescient & well-thought out for me to have taken 2 years to hear of them! Spread the word!

[Matthew Lee Anderson @mattleeanderson]

This is clearly the right choice and President Trump should be commended for making it.

[Bonnie Kristian @bonniekristian]

Really lovely review here—thanks so much, Jared. https://t.co/2bO0FoDsnY

[Jared @RevJaredJones]

Really grateful for @ModRef and @solamediaorg for publishing my review of @bonniekristian's "In Defense of Evangelicalism."

It is a wonderful book and you should all buy a copy! Read my review in the link below!

Moving the timeline of MN to a 1950s post-war England, does that mean that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will be in the 1990s?

[Narnia Movie @NarniaMovie]

A Universe Begins. See how Narnia was created in Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, a film by Greta Gerwig - only in theaters February 12.

[Caleb Wait @calebwait]

In the studio for some fun and special interviews tomorrow.

[Stephen Kent @StephenKentX]

I have a theory that Aslan will have a dual-tracked voice featuring tones of Ciaran Hinds and Meryl Streep woven together as a broader commentary on the divine masculine and feminine. Don't agree with it, but they're still keeping something about Aslan from us.

[Caleb Wait @calebwait]

Yes. I will add that good films have good stories. Doesn’t matter if it’s an action film or rom-com or drama.

Ever since the superhero blockbuster and legacy franchises (which I still enjoy) have become the most valued properties in film in the last 25 years, films have largely become occasions for spectacle and action sequences.

It makes sense, then, for many people to be drawn to AI “films.” Instead of them being variations on the theme of classic stories, they are variations on the theme of spectacle and action sequences and little else.

But AI films will be as ephemeral as the daily deluge of trending content.

They will be impressive to look at for a few seconds before you scroll past them and forget it entirely.

[Joel Berry @JoelWBerry]

This is really impressive, and made me realize something. Going forward, creating spectacle will be easy. The thing that will set movies apart will be the writing and characterization.

Now, without the need to pay millions and millions for effects shots, there will be more resources and attention given to the one remaining competitive advantage: great writing. We could see another golden age of storytelling once we get past all the slop.
