Also even if your room isn't ready, many hotels are willing to hold your bags so you can leave and do something else unencumbered

[Kristen Mulrooney @missmulrooney]

Does everyone know you can go into a hotel before check-in time and say "I have a reservation today, is there any chance my room is ready?" and they will usually say sure?

“Napoleon” is really odd.

The jokes land. The battles are bangers. It’s not boring even though it’s long.

But beyond quibbling about “accuracy” this movie just gives you no sense that Bonaparte was a major figure in the history of Europe beyond fighting some battles.

If it were being published today, I'd guess someone would suggest retitling "The Silmarillion" to "the Lore of the Rings"

@soupkaty I've been reading a minimum of one chapter a day off Les Miserables since the year began, so definitely that. I'm almost to the end, I just got to the sewer description chapters!

@OddLetters @willowbl00 Which isn't to say "you should watch Hannibal", it's definitely v gory and A Lot! But in some ways its production was kinda wholesome, which is really nice in contrast to *gestures at prestige television in general*

[eric_honour @eric_honour]

@OddLetters @willowbl00 Hannibal's showrunner was very empathetic to the cast and crew. Definitely gory, but I feel better about watching it than, like, Kubrick or Hitchcock movies. Fuller (Hannibal showrunner) also committed to not portraying sexual violence on the show, which is pretty cool.
