Minority Mindset

The Lord of the Rings films are a fantastic example of how great world-building and well-developed characters can combine to create an unforgettable story. Many modern fantasy movies focus too much on either impressive settings or interesting characters, but rarely succeed at both. What makes the Lord of the Rings trilogy so powerful is how much we invest in the relationships, the significance of the choices made, and how satisfying the story’s big moments feel. Each film in the trilogy contains scenes that are standouts in the fantasy genre, and Peter Jackson’s adaptation is full of memorable moments that truly set it apart.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – the pizza-loving, wisecracking heroes known for fighting crime – are still incredibly popular. Paramount Pictures, which owns the rights to the franchise, is actively developing new movies based on the many compelling storylines from the comic books.

Now that Billy Bob Thornton is starring in season two of Landman, many new viewers are probably curious about his other work. He’s been acting for over 40 years, appearing in a wide variety of movies and TV shows.

Similar to Apple TV+’s popular show Ted Lasso, Shrinking isn’t a typical comedy. A key storyline that continues into season 3 focuses on therapist Paul Rhodes (played by Ford) and his struggle with Parkinson’s disease, a condition that affects the brain and causes movement problems.

Popular shows like Cheers, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Newhart first aired, making stars out of their actors. The TV landscape was filled with brightly colored scenes and dramatic, ‘very special’ episodes, resulting in some undeniably cheesy programs. While not necessarily bad, these shows were definitely a little silly.
