Plots were rushed, special effects sucked, and each failed to fully or properly portray all of the moral dilemmas that the books offer.

Let's spill the T
In fashion, all eyes are on the T-shirt. It's a tool for micro-activism, a status symbol, a literal sign of the times, a technical marvel. How did something so casual get so woke?
