And read the first two Potter books ages ago (first due to school), and not worth reading more then that for me. Too generic in picking tons of stuff from that genre and simplifying it to the extreme.
It's getting interesting from the third book.

Survive the first two what? Chapters? I'm already on like chapter 8.
See the quote above :D

The trilogy as a whole is one of my most favorite movies but yes, the first one was by far the best. The Eowyn character ruined the third one IMO especially when she managed to kill the witch-king of Angmar so easily, and then in the end, I saw her standing beside Faramir just like Persian movies in which every woman finds a husband in the end :lol:
Have you read the books? That's pretty much how it happens. Except when her shield shatters her arm is trashed and her and Merry both almost die and have to be saved by Aragorn. Which I think "happens" in the movie, but isn't really put out there. There is a lot in the books that was unable to be put to screen.

heres a couple of quotes about the god of old testament.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? – Epicurus

Man created God in his image: intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent. – Anon

Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a God superior to themselves. Most Gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child. - Robert A. Heinlein

And heres George Carlin the ten commandments.

Don't forget: homosexual. If god created man in his image, and some men are homosexual, I guess that's because god has the same taste, no?

How is this hijacking? We are talking about a book and critics of said book. If the villain was called John instead of God would that be ok? I can refer to God as John from now on if that would make you happy, although im not sure why im trying to pander to you.

Posts were moved from the Movies thread so it looked weird.

maybe because you like me :p

on a serious note, you can lawyer up and tippy toe around the rules, we can all see the undertones of this convo, its also no surprise that only you too are talking about it. My advice dont take snake's baits, he's here just for shock value, i think you have a lot more to offer.

you're making me blush :shifty:

If its really an issue i wont talk about it, but the book is a work of fiction and i was discussing the book, that peopple believe is another issue that i didnt want to get into in this thread.
