And all this time, I thought the Trilogy was an entertaining group of books. I guess we find what we're looking for.

What? Star Wars isn't "just a movie"?!?!

I doubt very much that the Old Professor would appreciate being co-opted by the Left.

But isn't the Lord of the Rings trilogy an example of globalism? It is Western mass entertainment exported to the world.

Well, Tolkien was an agrarian anarcho-monarchist, so maybe my paleolibertarian pals have a case. They have a better argument here than they do with the "Star Wars" films, the politics of which are muddled at best.

Just don't say Star Trek isn't reflective of reality or they'll cut your tribbles off.
