New Lord of the Rings Movie Breaks a Cardinal Tolkien Rule (& Is the Closest Thing to His Cancelled Story)

Merry, Pippin, and Sam went through a lot of difficult experiences during the original story – though not as much as Frodo – and they all found happiness in the end. They were sad to see Frodo leave, but they returned to the Shire as heroes after a dangerous adventure. Sam even married Rosie Cotton, a woman he’d always loved, and they had a family. The new story seems to follow these hobbits as they revisit places from their past journey. However, the movie appears to be ignoring some of the established rules of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world.

Bianca is one of the first bounties you can hunt related to Hernand. Like other bounties in the game, the map only gives you a general area – it doesn’t mark her exact location. This often leads players to search endlessly and think the quest is broken. However, Bianca is findable if you know where and when to look. Most guides agree that her bounty becomes available in Chapter 2 when bounty posters start showing up, and she can be found near the Church of Hernand and Hillside Manor.

Paramount+ Just Added a Hidden Horror Gem From the 2000s That Everyone Missed

The eco-horror film The Ruins, a hidden gem in the genre, became available on Paramount+ on March 1st and is well worth a watch.

They’re drawn to a secluded, uncharted Mayan temple and find themselves trapped by suspicious locals and terrifying, carnivorous vines. While the film didn’t achieve mainstream success or critical acclaim, and was often overlooked in ‘best of’ lists, it offers a truly original and frightening take on the creature feature.
