sk Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 but it was all slimey... doesn't that count for anything??? Quote
iain Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 I bet you can hear "the Wilhelm Scream" in that movie too, since it is featured in the previous ones and all the star wars movies, and indiana jones, and, etc, etc. The Wilhelm Scream Quote
bird Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 So would you call the stairs up to Shelob's lair Class 3 or 4? For one thing they were supposed to be the "secret stairs". It looked like the obvious gully to me. Quote

nonanon Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Things to do while watching LOTR* *(Return of the King) Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell is Harry Potter?" Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better." At some point during the movie, stand up and shout: "I must go! Middle Earth needs me!" and run and try to jump into the screen. After bouncing off, return quietly to your seat. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring." Point and laugh whenever someone dies. Ask the nearest ring-nut if he thinks Gandalf went to Hogwarts. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson." When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!" At the end, complain that Gollum was offensive to Ethiopians. -Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs. When Shelob appears, pinch the guy in front of you on the back of the neck. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style. -When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!" Ask people around you who they think is the next "Terminator" sent from the Middle Earth of the future to assassinate Frodo Baggins. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN FOREST, RUN!" Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?" Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie. -Start an Orc sing-a-long. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused. Remove the top off your drink, then proceed to light the straw on fire and tell people in the seats around you about a great battle that took place in your cup long ago. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!" -Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like. -Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California. When Sam holds Frodo's hand (or otherwise), start singing, "The Ambiguously Gay Duo!" When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let herself go!" (If this has been posted before, call my attorney.) Quote
griz Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 2 hours of crying, hairy footed midgets... boo hoo...boo hoo... boo hoo... Quote
griz Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 2 hours of watching wussified Hobbins from Dorkshire cry over every god damn thing... "Oh, my little bitch Mary... you're alive!"... followed by a hobbin lovefest in bed and more . The other 1 1/2 hours of mayhem,death and destruction was fun though... Quote
dryad Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 All you naysayers suck! I just saw the movie yesterday and I think anybody who didn't like it is a soulless sarcastic pseudo-hipster poser incapable of being impressed by anything, with icewater in his veins and a heart of coal. Quote
griz Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 Those little frickin' hobbins would make a great new cast for that show "Queer eye for the Straight Guy".... A clip from the hobbin lovefest: Quote
kitten Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 Those little frickin' hobbins would make a great new cast for that show "Queer eye for the Straight Guy".... A clip from the hobbin lovefest: Please spare me the grief. You may not enjoy the fuzzy footed friends of the fields, but the hottie pointy earred elvin kind is most likely something you'd take on Quote
Figger_Eight Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 No kidding - everything about the movie was great except for all the stupid Hobbit wooey wooey crying scenes. I was surprised they didn't just start kissing each other Quote
griz Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 (edited) I'm sure the excluded hobbin kissing scenes will be included on the DVD... mmmm... hot female elves.... Edited December 26, 2003 by griz Quote
Scott_J Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 No Saruman! No "Scouring of the Shire" I really liked all the previous showings, but I have to agree with Dru on this I was thoroughly disappointed with the ending. By the way has anyone seen the 2nd DVD extended version? I really like the alternate ending they have on the disc. Quote
rhino Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 what about the missing hobbit pillow fight...? Quote
kitten Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 I just witnessed all the crying and winning on the big screen last night. (I like butter on my popcorn ) I really enjoyed reading the books, but the screen play made those 'hobbins' look like pansies. I may have been tainted with your opinion before watching, but I was very sick of the tears by the end of the THREE hour movie. The effects were awsome, costumes beautiful, music was moving, but that damn Smeagle grossed me out. Quote
