This week's spoilers from Fellowship of Fans finally gave us some about Arondir!!! :D They also revealed the name of Nia Towle's new character too.

We finally got spoilers about Arondir and confirming he's in the 2 episode battle, which many are saying will be the final 2 episodes of season 2 (7 & 8). FOF is also saying he and Elrond are fighting together against Adar, Sauron, and their army. Will be great to finally see Arondir and Elrond interact too.

Then Nia Towle's character's name is Estrid and she is a human like that set photo of her and Maxim Baldry confirmed. Arondir will also be a part of Isildur and Estrid's storyline as well in the first half of season 2. There's still speculation too that Estrid might end up being Isildur's wife who was never named in the books.

The Musgroves, Persuasion (2022)

[nathalieskinoblog]

[buffyfan145]

There's a big spoiler now on various social media now as we've gotten an actual set pic from "Rings of Power" s2 of Maxim Baldry's Isildur and of Nia Towle's character. I'm going to post behind a cut but be careful if you don't want to know/see.

The picture is of Isildur and Nia's character out in the wilderness of Middle Earth. He's dressed very similar to Aragorn and Frodo and she looks to be a woman and possibly the one who finds Isildur and helps him and/or part of the Southlanders like Bronwyn since her ears appear to be more human like. A lot are speculating she could end up being Isildur's future wife, which I would love as that fits so many of my ships not just on this show but in general. LOL Plus I like the idea of them falling in love in Middle Earth and then going back to Numenor. I've been wondering about Isildur's story and nice to get an actual pic.

Isildur spoiler photo drops, everyone (rightly) loses their minds, and I'm hyper-fixated on his cloak fastening situation.

It's so cool. But is the cloak woven? Are those leather closures stitched in? Are the corners reinforced to hold the leather? Is that closing toggle integral to the cloak or completely separate? What if it works loose? Is there a spare?

(I also did a little squeal of joy - I'm not made of stone)

Commentary on “PERSUASION” (2022)

I just finished watching the latest version of Jane Austen’s 1817 novel, “Persuasion”.  And . . . well, below is my opinion on the film:

I just finished watching "Persuasion" recently.  I thought it turned out to be better than I had assumed it would be.  I certainly enjoyed it more than 2020's "Emma", which not only struck me as overrated, but not as tolerable as I had originally assumed.

 I had some problems with "Persuasion".  I didn't care how modern English managed to occasionally find its way into the movie's dialogue.  I wish Admiral and Mrs. Croft were utilized in the Bath sequences.  I found Richard E. Grant's performance to be a bit exaggerated.  I didn't care for Cosmo Jarvis' day growth beard or Dakota Johnson's hair.  Nor did I have to see Anne Elliot prepare to take a piss near some bush.

 The movie's uses of a narration and "breaking the fourth wall" did not bother me one bit.  In fact, these narrative devices were slightly used in the 2007 version with Sally Hawkins.  As for Anne Elliot's sense of humor, I was relieved that Dakota Johnson had handled it with such subtlety that she did not come off as a Jane Austen 2.0 like Frances O'Connor in 1999's "Mansfield Park".  I am relieved that the movie did not completely re-live Anne Elliot's "Run Through Bath" from the 2007 film.  And I'm grateful it did NOT make the mistake of having all Naval characters in this film wear uniforms, like the 1995 movie did.  Royal Navy officers DID NOT wear their uniforms, while off duty.

 Like I said, I still managed to enjoy this movie.  I enjoyed the performances, especially from Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis and Henry Golding.  I thought this version filmed Louisa Musgrove's accident at Lyme a hell of a lot better than any other version I have seen.  I'm not kidding on this one.  I was especially pleased that this film DID NOT portray the William Elliot character as an out-and-out villain.  I hate to say this, but I've always believed that Jane Austen's one big mistake was to portray Mr. Elliot as a villain.  I thought it was unnecessary.  I thought he was more effective as Frederick Wentworth's romantic rival, as this movie eventually proved.

 One last thing - there are three other versions of "Persuasion", not two.  Aside from the 1995 and 2007 movies, there is the 1971 BBC miniseries with Ann Firbank and recently deceased Bryan Marshall.  You should check that out.
