I presumed ONE THING: that you are aware that the overwhelming amount of complaints are not about the amount of melanin a character's skin contains. Perhaps it isn't a secret about "the stormfront crowd" (who are they? Some bad guys from another show?) but I for one, have no idea what you are talking about. You seem to have some intricate knowledge of "white supremacist cesspools", so I'll make another assumption here; that you spend an overwhelming amount of time online totally absorbed by whatever political sand is currently in your panties. I did not dismiss "the contingent of widespread butthurt among the heavily populated online white supremacist cesspools as merely select "handful" of huwyte soopreemeecysts". That is YOUR assumption. I made fun of a seemingly false narrative, that is all. You made no attempt to address any actual issue that I posted, but resorted to some sort of deflection, making assumptions about my knowledge of things, of which I have no knowledge. Talk about "bad faith" argumentation... In Valinor, a blessed realm, heavenly and free of evil, "The Rings of Power" shows us bullying and fistfights. In lore, Elves who look seven, are in their mid-twenties, they have very mature minds and are walking, talking, singing and dancing by their first year. The portrayal of Elven culture is beyond terrible. This show has little to no respect for Tolkein's work. I'm positive that you know that narrative is a deflection of the real complaints of fans of Tolkein's work. I'd honestly be surprised if you could find a handful of genuinely racist complaints about casting, if even that many. Overwhelmingly the complaints are of the appalling writing, wooden acting, barely existent story, poor costumes, and pathetic portrayal of elven culture, most particularly the character of Galadriel, who IS woefully miscast. While there WERE many complaints of actress Sophia Nomvete's ridiculous (and utterly wrong) claims whenever interviewed prior to the show's broadcast, her character and performance in the show is one of the more well-received ones. If there really were gangs of huwyte soopreemeecysts stalking fantasy shows, don't you think HotD reviews would be seeing the same treatment you claim is happening? As it is, YOUR attempt to continue a ludicrous narrative to support a weak show in order to protect the shallow and broken dream of a pampered billionaire, only comes across as an ever more desperate projection of a truly racist leftist. Corrupted Replace the word "democracy" with the word "agenda", and it all makes a lot more sense. Remember, this is the party that is "redefining" words... Thank you for the welcome. I've visited this site a lot, almost from the day the IMDB boards were taken down. I should have joined sooner. I hope you find that linked site useful, I've checked it quite a few times over the last handful of years. Hi, I find this site can be handy for comparing running times of theatrical versus special versions, (as well as specifying the scene differences); https://www.movie-censorship.com I've linked directly to the "Bad Lieutenant" page (though it does contain some NSFW scene screencaps), here: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=5700924 Yes, that seems like the correct time for the uncut version (officially 1:36:16, I think).
