I finished The Haunting of Bly Manor yesterday. It broke my heart a bit, in a good way.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I can see ways the nudity would make sense - say the orcs don't really wear full clothing. You'd need actors comfortable with nudity for that and an intimacy coordinator would be welcome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's what I want to do - be an "intimacy coordinator" for the movies.

What is even happening?
Intimacy coordinators are there to protect performers from sexual harassment in the workplace, in the form of being coerced into scenes, blocking etc. that make/s them feel uncomfortable or that violates their contract stipulations. The talent can discuss their needs with the coordinator who looks out for them on the set, so the actors don't have to make their every objection known to the director and their co-stars. Intimacy coordinators also can protect a production from accusations that actors were exploited. They're a good idea, when used correctly. From SAG-AFTRA: [link]
That's just not what I'm looking for in my Middle Earth media.
Yeah. That's where I am.

I can see it, and you're right about the coordinator's role. I don't think nudity brings anything to the story of Middle Earth.

I hadn't thought about orcs, but that could be an issue. Likewise if any giants, trolls, or other humanoid things that human-sized clothing wouldn't work for appear. Or maybe human/elven/dwarven prisoners of war or slaves who are stripped down. I guess it wouldn't have to be sexually-tinged nudity to need a watchdog on set.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Todd Stashwick bought our old house in North Hollywood. Very nice guy and family. I periodically check his insta, so I can see how the backyard is doing. They didn't change much. The green drapes in the living room? I hung those. The tile backsplash in the kitchen? I laid those tiles myself.

I just saw a post on Twitter, and any interest I had in the new adaptation of Rebecca has just died. The last lines of the adaptation:
"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderlay again. But this morning I woke up in our stuffly little room in Cairo Just another stop in our quest to find the perfect home. When I look in the mirror, I can see the woman I am now. And I know I have made the right decision. To save the one thing worth walking through the flames for. Love."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yeah, I'm out. There are too many things wrong with that sentence to count.

That added to the early reviews I've heard about Armie Hammer's performance equals Double Plus Do Not Want.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
