Uhtred, son of Uhtred. That is, until he’s broken by loss in the final seasons.

I posted about this before, but this scene (which appears in both the movie and the book) encapsulates why the screen adaptation of John Carter was so fundamentally different from how he’s portrayed in the book.

Movie John Carter is a broken soldier haunted by the family he couldn’t save. He fights from a place of hopeless sorrow, uncaring that he’s throwing his life away because in his heart he’s already dead. He takes no joy in battle, he simply wants to die.

Book John Carter is a proud Virginian captain, a veteran of the Civil War who is unburdened by guilt and shame. He throws himself against impossible odds out of a sense of duty to protect Dejah Thoris, and because he revels in combat, a hard fight against a worthy adversary capable of testing his martial prowess.

This is significant because modern Hollywood (and more broadly the culture in general) seems only capable of producing the former, not almost never the latter.

I wonder why that is?

I’d leave everything to Rachel Weiss, too.

Daniel Craig's daughter won't receive a large inheritance from her dad, as he finds inheritances "distasteful" and does not "want to leave great sums to the next generation." He told Insider, "My philosophy is to get rid of it or give it away before you go."

This really needs that comma.

I thought this was an evolution of the original phrase “face card that never declines”.

[Alan Cole @AlanMCole]

Like I said, they just use “face card” to mean “face!”

My replies were like “no, the card is an integral part of the idiom, evoking credit cards or playing cards.”

This was gaslighting. They just say “face card” when they mean “face!”

@tracewoodgrains Where is Ja?

@UsingLyft Flo Jo is closer to him than he is to Bolt.

Technically, Anthony Hopkins has played Black/African at least twice. Othello and The Human Stain.

@selentelechia Maybe a bit faster. Couch to 5k programs are set for nine weeks. The calm, resilience, and extra capacity should come before that's finished.

My dream poor financial investment would be restoring an art deco theater and dedicating it to play restored silent films all day. Admission costs a quarter and the only hope to make a profit is through one concession stand that serves a $25 cocktail called "The Buster"

Apple, who some believe helped accelerate this trend toward silver and white, has much to answer for.

If I was dictator, all privately owned vehicles would have to be a chromatic color, preferably not a neutral. Commercial vehicles would be stuck with the achromatic shades.
