> You guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley, you knew what to do with Adam Driver. But when it came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know fuck all. True, but also: they didn't really know what to do with Adam Driver, of Daisy Ridley, or #StarWars in general.

1) Nausicaa: one of the first (and still best) #anime movies I've ever seen. If only Miyazaki could fully put the manga on a screen. 2) The Boy and the Heron: a movie so good it convinced my dad to try anime. 3) The Wind Rises: the best movie I'll never rewatch.

Speaking of #Tolkien, actually reading old European epics gave me some new insights into his work. For example, kennings (metaphors) for kings are frequently based on their generocity, calling them "giver of rings", "spender of rings", or... That's right, "lord of rings".

For the #TolkienReadingDay I've finally read his essay "The Monsters and the Critics". In it JRRT defends Beowulf and its use of monsters, calling it an "heroic elegy", created by a scholar from pieces of now lost epics. Was he, perhaps, seeing himself in its autor, and talking about his own work?..
