Readers as attentive as mine will doubtless have observed already that I have for some time been trying to avoid writing about the first installment of Peter Jackson’s massive, three-part film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Of course there were lots of opportunities not to write about it with the rush of studio showcase movies and Oscar contenders that came out at the end of the year. But I confess that the real reason I was turning my attention elsewhere was that I had found the movie rather dull and was feeling obscurely guilty about the fact. So many people have written in asking for my take on it and obviously expecting a good one that I was reluctant to disappoint them. What can I say? I believe that it is morally and philosophically sound and teaches our children a good lesson about heroism and virtue and honor. Will that do?

Yankees righty Luis Severino placed on COVID-19 list
Yankee pitcher Luis Severino was placed on the COVID-19 injured list, the team announced on Thursday.
The Yankees expect to know more later on in the evening, manager Aaron Boone told reporters before their Thursday night matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays. He had only been placed on the COVID list, but had not officially tested positive for the virus when Boone addressed the media.
Severino began feeling sick on Wednesday night and had a fever and chills. The good news early on was that Severino’s rapid test did return a negative result.
Clarke Schmidt was scheduled to start in Severino’s place on Thursday and Ryan Weber was given the roster spot. Boone had let Schmidt know in the early afternoon on Thursday that he would be taking the mound.
“We started planning a little bit last night if Sevy wasn’t able to go,” Boone said. “(Schmidt) is ready to role, fired up and I just feel like he’s the right guy in getting things off for us tonight.”
Severino has taken the mound for 61 innings for the Yankees during their stellar 46–16 run that has seen the Bronx Bombers take a 9-game lead in the AL East into Thursday.
