So I learned that about a year ago someone put on a jukebox musical adaptation of A Knight's Tale in Manchester. I guess it’s not that surprising given the original movie’s soundtrack.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like anyone is going to do a reproduction of it anytime soon. So for anyone else that has seen the musical or heard about it I have to ask: Is there a script for this show, with all the lines and songs?

If yes, where can I find it?

So from what I understand is that the more imaginative and creative a Green Lantern is the more powerful their constructs are. Hence the reason why Kyle Rayner, an artist, and John Stewart, an architect, are two of the most powerful GLs. Kyle's uses his artistic abilities to make his constructs more unpredictable and powerful, while John thinks out his constructs making them more solid and harder to break.

In any case, out of all of the Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West stories out thus far which characters would make good Green Lanterns based on their skills in creativity, ingenuity, innovation, and imagination, besides Aloy of course?

So from what I understand, one of my favorite shows on Jetfix, Get Ed was going to get a second season but it got cancelled due to executive meddling and the show creator's death.

Does anyone know what the second season was supposed to entail?

So I know that most cyberpunk stories are set in the US or Japan but while I was browsing the cartoons subreddit, I came across a [teaser trailer](https://www.reddit.com/r/cartoons/s/QW7YNuTgSn) for a new Argentine animated series called Electro Andes which appears to have quite a few cyberpunk vibes and aesthetics.

And it got me wondering, are there any cyberpunk stories set in Latin America?

While browsing the web, I learned that some countries like Peru, Thailand, South Korea, and the United States used food as a form of public and cultural diplomacy to foster relations with other countries, win hearts and minds, and foster knowledge about their country's cuisine. In Thailand's case they helped set up restaurants outside of their country through loans and training. And let us not forget that culinary diplomacy is also useful in winning over Heads of State through banquets and feasts. For example during the Napoleonic Wars, the Coalition used the services of Marie-Antoine Careme to prepare an elaborate feast for the Russian Tsar. And in the 1939, FDR served hot dogs to the King and Queen of England during their Royal visit to the USA.

And that got me thinking, are there any history books about culinary diplomacy?

Either ones about:

1. Cooks who have helped prepare important feasts and banquets (Ex: State Dinners) to help win over other heads of state.

2. Ones about countries encouraging entrepreneurs and cooks to go to other countries and open up restaurants that serve their country’s cuisine. For example in the post-WW2 era certain American foods like hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizzas quickly became popular in Japan. So maybe they could do a story about the US government encouraging people to open up restaurants that serve these foods in order to solidify relations with the new Japanese government.

So I saw the Last Action Hero and when I first watched it I was expecting it to be your typical action comedy flick that would poke a little fun at the genre every now and then. But then it got to the scene involving >!Jack's apartment and I was surprised that under the cool and cocky facade is a guy who is just lonely and tired of being a hero.!<

So I have to ask, are there any other stories that deconstruct the Action Hero Genre? More specifically are there any stories that show being Rambo, Indiana Jones, or James Bond isn't all that its cracked up to be? Honestly the one other movie I can think of is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, where we see Doctor Jones as a >!former shell of the great adventurer he used to be and the adventure-friendly world that he and Sallah used to live in is slowly fading away.!<

So I just learned that about two years ago someone put on a jukebox musical adaptation of A Knight's Tale in Manchester. I guess it’s not that surprising given its soundtrack.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like anyone is going to do a reproduction of it anytime soon. So for anyone else that has seen the musical or heard about it I have to ask: What was A Knight's Tale Musical like and how does it compare to the original film?

Especially in regards to Jocelyn who imo was one of the weakest characters in the movie. Because outside of being Will’s love interest and bringing his Father to his joust with Adhemar she doesn’t really add much to the plot. With that said did she get a bigger role in the musical to compensate for this?

So I know that the first King of Tonga George Taupau I converted to Methodism and united the Islands under his rule and his successor turned the country into a British protectorate to protect it from the British.

But what if he had converted to Mormonism instead of Methodism? How would the country develop socially and culturally?

Saw a post on r/Thor mentioning the two of them together and now that I think about it it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. For instance I could see them getting together if Wanda came to Asgard to learn Asgardian magic or in some cases learning how to control her own magic through Asgardian techniques.

That said do you think they could make it work for the long-term?

So I know the episode Power Grab is about the Cyclonian commanders, Ravess, Snipe, Reston and his raptors fighting each other for the throne while Cyclonis and the Dark Ace are gone.

But what if it was about the Talons getting fed up with their mistreatment, mutinying against Ravess and handing over Cyclonia to Captain Scabulous and his Murk Raiders? Who in fairness is a much better boss than the Dark Ace, Ravess, and Snipe. I’m not sure who the Raptors would side with but the story would culminate with the Murk Raiders and the rogue Cyclonian armada ambushing the Cyclonis, the Dark Ace and their squadron of Talons and the Dark Ace dueling Scabulous.

I know that for doylist reasons there is no plot point where V becomes the most wanted person in Night City. And yes Yorinobu wouldn’t want the one framed for eliminating Saburo to be captured. But Yorinobu is just one executive in a megacorp of hundreds if not thousands of employees. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine some of those employees wanting to capture or eliminate V in order to get ahead in the company.

And that’s just Arasaka. On the streets V is known as the one that eliminated the Emperor. For some the street cred for taking them down would be worth the risk. Anything else like credits would be a bonus.

So why isn’t V officially the most wanted man/woman in Night City?

A movie that I bought is no longer playable in my library. I can only play it in the downloaded section. If I remove it from the downloaded section will I lose access?

So seeing as it's Cars 20th Anniversary, I was wondering if there are any good period dramas about that iconic highway it features: Route 66?

In short I want to know if there are any movies that celebrate or pay tribute to America's most famous and historic road in US history. Preferably ones that reflect the sentimentality and nostalgia that slice of Americana represents.
