IMMA GOH CRAZEE
no (http://nooooooooooooooo.com/)
LOL
Mine is a my immortal reference actually...
Gandalf = best book/movie character ever.
"Fly, you fools!"
I disagree slightly.
Although that is the greatest line ever uttered while hanging off a giant underground bridge after fighting a fire/darkness creature.
I thought only me and Pyrgus hated The Lord of the Rings.

I take it you didn't read all of my immortal?
Tom
Bombadil Satan is
Voldemort Volxemort Voldemint The Barke Lord Darth Valer What's his name's real name.
I couldn't finish reading it. My brain was melted by chapter 10 or so.
Oh it gets to epic lulz in the second half.
Her ristz wrists have been cut so much that she can no long type or think legibly and the entire story just devolves into pure entertainment.
I would read the books if I wasn't so completely bored by the Peter Jackson trilogy that I'm completely turned off to reading the same thing, which would waste far more time.
Not everyone likes to hear how much you dislike things other people enjoy all the time, Whocares. ._.
my immortal is a Harry Potter fic BTW.

Before, actually. They ran like hell first, Gandalf stalled the Balrog, the Balrog pulled him down, Gandalf uttered the most epic line ever, fell, and
then he epically fought the Balrog while falling down into an underground lake and back up to the mountain peak where he died and was reborn because he's the Jesus of
MidgardMiddle Earth.

Indeed. Please, if you know everyone likes something you don't like, if only because it has
special effects, then keep it to yourself; it only irritates us.

Fix'd.

Wow, and you say you like great movies... :P
Whocares' definition of a "great" movie:
If nobody's heard of it, it's not popular, it has no special effects, or it was directed by Stanley Kubrick, or a combination of these, it's a great movie.
There is a time and a place for such discussion, but it is not now. If you would like to continue this conversation, please do so via PM or another medium.
This path never ends well.
I'll just end it quickly Gandalf:

A.I. Artificial Intelligence has been heard of, it is popular, it has special effects, and was not directed by Stanley Kubrick. It's also not even ten years old, was directed by Steven Spielberg, and it is American. Yet it is a great movie.
I just realized I faied on my fix'd... and whocares, that's not ending it quickly. That's having the last wurdd. f=
I disproved him, so of course I ended it.
Sigh. You try my patience.
How can you try patience? Patience isn't even a verb. :P
It's a new drug.
Talk to your doctor about it today.
I need patience.
I would be mad at you guys if I didn't love you all too much.
I would like to point out the fact that I do not HATE LOTR... I just don't love it.
That is all.
I don't hate it either, I just don't think it has anything going for it outside of the effects. Anything at all.

The story.
Or the moral of the story...
It wasn't made just for the effects, y'know.

The acting is stiff. The characters are stereotypes and uninteresting. It's too long. It's one note. It's nothing more than an endless series of battle scenes. It's amazingly pretentious and self-important. It's a filmed video game. The storytelling and direction are unimaginative. It's paper thin. And not since Ben-Hur has any movie (well, technically three) created such entirely new standards for cinematic dullness.
Also, what moral?
Damn it, I had a good, lengthy post typed up, and the computer somehow erased it all.
Basically, Whocares, you're being hypercritical again, and it's pissing me off. Just because you didn't like doesn't mean it doens't have a moral to the story; it has several, my favorite being that there are people, places, and ideas worth fighting for, even if it means sacrificing your own life to protect them. "It's too long" is a rather shallow reason, especially when the people who actually do like the movies don't mind sitting through all of it. Oh, yes, every second of the film had a fight in it; the battle scenes were well paced out, and there weren't nearly enough for it to seem like every scene was a battle scene. How is it pretentious and self-important? Those are terms you use to critique a documentary, not a fantasy epic. Okay, just about any movie that has action in it gets a video game based off of it, including your precious The Godfather, so "it's a filmed video game" is a rather lame excuse. Get the special extended editions of the movie and watch the making of documentaries; Jackson and the rest of the crew put a hell of a lot of work into retelling the trilogy as a movie while keeping as faithful to Tolkien's original work as they could, and calling it unimaginative is an insult to them. Of course it's paper thin; you don't like it! And why? Because essentially, it all boils down to you being a fan of directors and movies from a previous generation. That generation is past, and I think it's about damn time you stop holding up newer movies to them. Every new director/author/artist/whatever brings changes with them, and there's no point complaining that they're nothing like the former directors/authors/artists/whatevers. If you can't accept change, then you have no right to criticize anything.
There, there, HnS. *Pats head* It's okay. :P
But...HnS does have a point, Whocares.
The acting isn't "stiff." In fact, they all did very good acting, putting a lot of emotion into their characters, and acting the way they did in the books (does that make sense?). Elijah Wood does an exceptionally good job at putting the emotions needed into acting.
Yes, there were a lot of battle scenes, but there was an equal amount of non-battle scenes, also. There HAVE to be battle scenes, because it's a war. War has a lot of fighting and stuff, in case you didn't get that from some of your "good" movies.
Did you even watch all of it? Did you even read the books? I, myself, have only read teh first two so far, and they have been very, very good. A little hard to read and understand, but I'm sure that'll get easier when I get older. In my opinion, since I grew up with the movies that's what I've come to know and love.
There are some people in the world who don't like it, but that's their problem because it's the best story (to me) in the whole world.
Uhh...that probably didn't really make any sense. o...O HnS said basically all of what needed to be said. XD
I am disappointed.
