33 Lord of the Rings Memes That Were Forged in the Fires of Mount Doom (August 23, 2024)

When I was younger, my brother and I loved seeking out the oddest, most obscure, and downright bizarre films we could find. Our list included some wild black comedy horror films like "Man Bites Dog," "Basket Case," "Frankenhooker," and a peculiar film titled "Bad Taste" by a then-unknown director from New Zealand, Peter Jackson. This film was an eclectic mix of intense gore and pitch-black humor. It's astonishing to think that just a few years later, this same director would be handed the reins to one of the most ambitious projects in cinematic history: the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. And even more surprising is how flawlessly he executed it.

Years after watching those films, I still marvel at the diverse talent of directors like Jackson. It's a testament to the vast range of storytelling abilities that one can hold. From crafting dark comedic scenes to grandiose, epic tales of heroism, the journey of filmmakers can be as unpredictable and exhilarating as the stories they tell. Sometimes, it's these unexpected twists and turns in their careers that produce the most memorable cinematic masterpieces.

In case you don't know what this is about: A woman recently died at a Disney resort restaurant from an allergic reaction to the food, after being assured it was safe. When the husband sued, Disney's defense was that she signed a waiver when she joined Disney Plus, saying she forfeits any legal claims she has towards the company.
(Disney since dropped this line of defense)
