11.16.12 | List is good albums. Watching The Two Towers right now, fucking epic |
demigod!
11.16.12 | it looks pretty good but im not a huge LOTR fan
also the cash grab that is making it three movies really puts a dampener on things |
menawati
11.16.12 | martin freeman was a great pick for Bilbo he's got really good comic timing |
demigod!
11.16.12 | agree mena i loved him in the office |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | I guess but The Hobbit is the shortest of all the books and it has way less action. Also agree about freeman, he's awesome |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | i don't even like lotr
having said that, it looks nice, i guess? |
demigod!
11.16.12 | yeah that's what I'm thinking. The book isn't even that long, they could easily make it one movie. Just a classic Hollywood cash grab. Not saying it won't be good, but there is no good reason to expand it to be a trilogy, other than money. |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | dude they only made one animated version and it was a fucking classic |
demigod!
11.16.12 | i need to see that |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | I don't think anyone who has seen lotr doesn't like it. Return of the King is a masterpiece in my opinion, 10/10. Really cool it was in my lifetime. |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | I watched the animated Hobbit about 100 times between the ages of 5-10 and it changed my life lol
i haven't seen it since like 1995 so I'm not sure how it holds up really... |
demigod!
11.16.12 | i've only seen the first two, and havent seen two since i was 11 or 12 |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "I don't think anyone who has seen lotr doesn't like it."
i don't like any of them. i don't hate them but i'd definitely never watch them again |
demigod!
11.16.12 | hate to be that guy, but..
Star Wars > LOTR |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "Star Wars > LOTR"
easily |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | I don't see how I could argue either of the two is better |
Emim
11.16.12 | "Star Wars > LOTR"
bulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll shitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
i mean really?
anyways, I would much rather they made it in three parts than try and cram it all into one movie |
BassDemon333
11.16.12 | Yeah this Hobbit trilogy is going to rule |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "i mean really?"
yes really |
oltnabrick
11.16.12 | "Pretty pissed they're doing this in 3 parts but it's going to be awesome."
nooooooo stop it. They are doing it right. |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | Radagast?! Holy shit I didn't know he was in The Hobbit, he's in FOTR |
Atari
11.16.12 | can't wait |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | Gotcha it's been so long. Is Christopher Lee not playing Saruman? He was fantastic |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | wait a second there are like a lot of people out there who think LotR is better than Star Wars? |
GringoSuave89
11.16.12 | "There's only one Return, and it ain't Of The King, it's Of The Jedi"
never could get into LotR, it always felt long-winded and mostly filler. Might give it another go now that I'm older... |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "wait a second there are like a lot of people out there who think LotR is better than Star Wars?"
apparently a lot of crazies |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | lol in terms of movies, it's not really close
obviously not counting any SW movies made after 1983... |
BassDemon333
11.16.12 | Yeah Lee is confirmed to play Saruman |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "obviously not counting any SW movies made after 1983..."
well that goes without saying |
Emim
11.16.12 | I would honestly rather watch one of the LOTR movies than the original 3 Star Wars |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | kids these days |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | disagree so so hard
i'll never watch lotr
i'll watch star wars when i'm an oldie |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | i literally went to a star wars themed wedding not a month ago |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "well you also prefer jrpgs to wrpgs so your opinion is invalid"
it's a fact, not an opinion |
Emim
11.16.12 | Not to mention the books take a massive shit on the entire star wars universe |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | yeh |
oltnabrick
11.16.12 | I like how they already have some sort of pre-order for the Hobbit on Amazon. |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | well the books are certainly a different story |
Inveigh
11.16.12 | like that pun bitches, didn't even do that on purpose |
Trebor.
11.16.12 | Why are you comparing Star Wars to LOTR my word get a hobby |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | nice inveigh |
Emim
11.16.12 | "Why are you comparing Star Wars to LOTR my word get a hobby"
because optimus prime would totally kick voltron's ass |
Polyethylene
11.16.12 | Star Wars isn't nearly as good. Pumped as for The Hobbit |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | sw, empire, and jedi are perfect movies |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | The trailer was pretty awesome. Oh well star wars' legacy is about to get another ravishing by disney-run lucasfilm meanwhile lord of the rings and Tolkien will only be getting more praise |
Emim
11.16.12 | minus the terrible acting |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | But yes the original trilogy is fantastic, Jedi is my favorite and a masterpiece in my opinion |
bloc
11.16.12 | The Faggot |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "minus the terrible acting"
lol |
Emim
11.16.12 | The Blochead |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | Does anybody know any actors besides Mark Hamil and Harrison Ford? |
Polyethylene
11.16.12 | Jedi isn't a perfect movie, it's flawed by erratic pacing (the first hour is way too slow) and far too many furry creatures. |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Alec Guiness, Peter Cushing... |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | jedi rules hard |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | Fuck that the intro of Jedi is fantastic with its buildup to Luke kicking ass. So much secrecy it's great. Not to mention the battle on Endor. Good call on James Earl Jones totally forgot him. I just don't remember seeing those actors in anything else but I guess that isn't my generation like the lotr movies are |
newjunkaesthetic93
11.16.12 | Star Wars is so lame. It's hilarious that people like it as much as they do. |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "Star Wars is so lame. It's hilarious that people like it as much as they do."
You are dumb. |
Curse.
11.16.12 | Jedi is far from a fucking masterpiece. GOD DAMN EWOKS. Empire is the only perfect Star Wars movie |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "Jedi is far from a fucking masterpiece. GOD DAMN EWOKS. Empire is the only perfect Star Wars movie"
nope, all three of the ot rule |
Hyperion1001
11.16.12 | the star wars series was a generic sci fi action space opera that only gets regarded as highly as it does because of its original success and nostalgia
i really like the original three, but to say any of them are "perfect films" is kind of asinine |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "i really like the original three, but to say any of them are "perfect films" is kind of asinine"
my ass is a 9 |
Satellite
11.16.12 | jedi would've been way better if lucas didn't re-write the script to make it as commercially viable as possible |
someguest
11.16.12 | Three parts? Ugh. |
klap
11.16.12 | "generic sci fi action space opera" yeah only pretty much invented the genre film-wise |
Emim
11.16.12 | that's why it's so generic, klap |
MO
11.16.12 | I love star wars (original 3), but story wise, lotr destroys it so hard its no competition |
Rowan5215
11.16.12 | Yeah Star Wars is just bullshit with horrible acting (except Christopher Lee, Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson who are all given crappy parts) and too much action that overrules any attempt to tell the storyline. LOTR is so, so much better. The Hobbit is gonna rule. |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | "Generic sci fi space opera" yeah because there were so many of those. Nostalgia is definitely not the only reason to watch Star Wars. There isn't one good argument on here about the original trilogy not being amazing |
Curse.
11.16.12 | "Yeah Star Wars is just bullshit with horrible acting (except Christopher Lee, Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson who are all given crappy parts) and too much action that overrules any attempt to tell the storyline."
I don't think you have ever seen the real Star Wars |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | I hope he knows those aren't the only Star Wars movies... |
klap
11.16.12 | if star wars is considered generic than lord of the rings is just as "generic" omg generic fantasy quest |
someguest
11.16.12 | Both series need more cussing and nudity!
Yeah! |
Rowan5215
11.16.12 | Yeah I've seen all six Star Wars movies. A New Hope was kinda bearable but that's about it. |
Polyethylene
11.16.12 | I think the original trilogy is great, and still love Phantom Menace for the nostalgia, but it has nothing on Tolkien's universe. The Hobbit looks fantastic. |
Strider
11.16.12 | They better be good. Cause 3 bad films for one small book, that would probably destroy Jackson's career |
Mad.
11.16.12 | You really think it's a Hollywood cash grab? You people don't know Peter Jackson... |
Strider
11.16.12 | Nah don't think it's a cash grab. but I hardly see how you can do this in 3 movies. |
Polyethylene
11.16.12 | There's a massive amount of short stories and post-Hobbit material that is going to make up the third film. I'll be interested to see how he pulls that off, but I'm glad he's doing it (he'd probably never get another chance to try and no other director would do it justice). |
Strider
11.16.12 | Oh, didn't know it was going to be that. Sounds interesting then |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "Yeah I've seen all six Star Wars movies. A New Hope was kinda bearable but that's about it."
You're an idiot. |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | I don't think its a cash grab I just don't wanna wait three years to finish this installment, I have faith in Jackson though. Your taste in movies is flawed if you think A New Hope was bearable at best |
bakkermaarten007
11.16.12 | """Well look on the bright side, if they do it 3 parts, what are the chances that they'll screw up and leave something important out?"
ask Green Day...""
Laughed so hard =P |
Strider
11.16.12 | That |
Strider
11.16.12 | You mean sell Tolkien's work off to Disney?
I don't think I want the Hobbit to turn into another Pirates of the Caribbean 4 |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | "movie is gonna blow"
true true |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | Did you see the trailer? It looks as epic as Lord of the Rings. By turning it into 3 movies you can tell he took his time and wanted to make it as stunning as possible. It probably won't top Return of the King but saying it will blow? You're stupid. |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | Half of the production crew from lotr is returning and New Line is the company heading it. How the hell could it possibly blow? |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | It's not fair to take the travesty that was the prequels and assume The Hobbit is going to be to Lotr what the prequels were to the original trilogy. I think Jackson knows better, plus Lucas was like infatuated with CGI and special effects that came in the 30 years since the original trilogy and he completely blew it. Lotr was only made 10 years ago, I trust that with the same crew behind it, The Hobbit will take most if its elements from that |
JackSparrow
11.16.12 | So you're just not interested. Doesn't mean it'll suck. I think Tolkien's world is fascinating and Jackson & Co did a good job with it before so I feel they will do it justice this time around. |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | i think it'll be bad
but then again, i don't even like the good ones |
ViralOblivion
11.16.12 | I'm excited to see it it's just a shame Warner Bros wants to do three parts just to make more money andcas no one cares that you don't care about the hobbit |
ViralOblivion
11.16.12 | Am I supposed to be offended? You're such a fucking idiot |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | yeah prometheus was terrible |
ViralOblivion
11.16.12 | Did that last night after a bottle cabo wabo and xanex to my dome still a wee bit drunk too :D |
Crymsonblaze
11.16.12 | i had a bottle of yako wacko and a little dot to top it off |
Timmons
11.16.12 | prometheus was such a let down, agreed. the visuals and acting were great, but if only the story was better and more thoughtful than it was made out to be. it could have been so much more. |
ViralOblivion
11.16.12 | I've done worse |
