  I think it's funny when authors complain about adaptations of their books in 2026. Certainly you have to know by *now* how Hollywood works....

  "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" Huh? Did we need to know what Gollum was up to between The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings? This definitely falls into "Movies answering questions about characters no one asked." #Movies
