Lord of the Rings: Weinstein Threatened to Hire Tarantino to Direct
I have never heard this, damn that Harvey Weinstein! We also could have had Mira Sorvino or Ashley Judd in the film if not for his orcish malevolence. And somehow he still gets his name front and centre in the credits. Tack on another 20 years to his sentence for this. This article is from 2018.

Heart of Darkness Brunchposting in 1897
"There is no morality, no knowledge and no hope; there is only the consciousness of ourselves which drives us about a world that... is always but a vain and floating appearance.... A moment, a twinkling of an eye and nothing remains — but a clot of mud, of cold mud, of dead mud cast into black space, rolling around an extinguished sun. Nothing. Neither thought, nor sound, nor soul. Nothing."
- Joseph Conrad's 1897 Instagram post
