LOTR metanoia

I watched this one mostly to see why he didn't like LOTR at first. I guess it makes sense from his perspective. I'd read the books several times before Jackson's films came out, and I expected to be disappointed, but he mostly got it right. The extended version of "The Return of the King" was a big improvement on the original release.

BigHominid's Test Central

Tasty Grammar is the general site—the front door, if you will. The Superficial is the free site. The Profound is the paid site, with in-depth content and an actual curriculum. The Creative is where you'll find essays, poems, and images. The Entertaining is where you'll find games and puzzles. Test Central isn't a Substack site, but it's where the in-depth quizzes, tests, answers, and explanations can be found. More Substacks to come as I develop new courses and keep adding features!
