    The Wild Robot, The King of Kings, The Life Of Chuck, The Long Walk, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants. Five completely diverse films, unified solely by the word “the” (and me). 2025 was quite THE year. #HappyNewYear

    LOTR: THE RETURN OF THE KING was released 21 years ago today. The final film in Peter Jackson's epic trilogy, and among the most successful movies ever made, a day may come when the story of how it was made fails to entertain. But it is not this day… 1/47
