Some movies, I think, present ideas of the world that just don't help people with their lives. They just present things that are fleeting or stupid.

Pundits are always blaming TV for making people stupid, movies for desensitizing the world to violence, and rock music for making kids take drugs and kill themselves.

There is no 'normal,' because everybody is being twisted by the same sources simultaneously.

I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again.
J. R. R. Tolkien

Blake Jenner
