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.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

What.
WHAT.
That is not "And the ashes blew towards us on the salt wind from the sea", miss me with this.

FWIW, I've really disliked Max De Winter.

Oh, I don't think "liking" him comes into it; for me, it's the feeling of inescapable creeping dread I'm there for.
The reviewer for the Seattle Times says "If you weren't able to travel this year and need some pretty scenery, this has some? Otherwise watch the Hitchcock version again."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Ew. What a travesty.
I mean, the enterprise was suspect from casting on. There was a BBC version from a few decades ago that was less lush than the Hitchcock but was cast to perfection, with Charles Dance as Maxim, Emilia Fox as 2nd Mrs. de Winter, and the late great Diana Rigg as Mrs. Danvers.

Diana Rigg was just about perfect as Mrs. Danvers. I think I disliked - almost loathed Max, who was supposed to be romantic - was that he married Rebecca to achieve the perfect hostess/mistress for Manderly and then, when she was just that, despised her for being just that. After her death, he then married this naive young thing - in the book she never had a name - who adored him but was not up to being what he'd married Rebecca for.
