Yeah, something tells me he messed up back there

 

[Fred]

Fred are you having a laugh or are you really serious with saying: "Fuck anything with fiction in it"?


You are bit behind hehe, but yeah he was cruuuuuuuuyzy in this movie

Fantasy you pedantic fuck

thank you, finally someone else saw it

Saw it a couple of days ago. It was

Its one of those movies I can now justify for liking Cage again, before one had to mention older movies. But now I'll just reference to this

I love Nic Cage, and i ain't ashamed to admit it

There's a difference between fiction and fantasy, Fred. Without fiction every movie would be a documentary.

Ok then i hate anything with fantasy in it, whatever you got my point.

 

[Elvin]

No Fred, just admit you had a major brain fart moment there

I couldnt watch more than 30 minutes of LOTR.The 1st part that is.So i didnt even bother trying to watch the other two.

Can this be counted as normal behavour?

I usually hate Sci-fi and fantasy as well, but LOTR was epic

The first one was absolutely fantastic, the second was good (the ghoolies put me off), and I thought Jackson screwed the pooch on the ending in the third.

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

Can't bring myself to watch movies with zombies, monsters or strange creatures in them. Fuck anything with fiction in it.

You can find excellent stuff among them. Watch Pan's Labyrinth and Big Fish if you haven't yet. Then watch E.T. as a mixture of Fantasy and Science-Fiction. You also can give Blade Runner a try.

I never thought I'd like super-heroic movies but then I loved Nolan's Batmans. Never restrict your taste to such generalizations or else you'd miss on many excellent movies. I'm not saying that everyone has to like those movies but I really have the feeling that some people tend to have their opinions about certain movies/books even before watching/reading them. These prejudgments aside, I bet you'll even be able to discover Harry Potter series' (the books) beauty

Speaking of Pan's Labyrinth, the soundtrack was probably one the bests I've heard recently.

Someone removed my original reply to the What are you currently reading thread. So here goes. That part you didn't like in the movie was in the book, but the movie left out a lot the was in the book. Both Merry and Eowyn get really hurt and Aragorn has to save them.

Then the meeting between her and Faramir is drawn out in the books as well. Give em a read.

Apparently he is but as a producer (I think?)

That's right. He's also co-writing the script, along with the rest of his LotR writing team and the new director, Del Torro (Pan's Labrynth, Hellboy, The Devil's Backbone, Blade, etc.).

So long as his effects studio is involved I'll check it out. Early rumor was a plan to do it as a 15 episode "mini-series".

Weta are closely involved, as are Del Torro's (also amazing) effects people. Whatever else, it's going to look amazing.

No, it'll be a film, probably in Christmas 2011. They're also planning another film for 2012, probably set in between The Hobbit and LotR.

 

[mikhail]

Well it's nothing special. The Dutch name is Nederland which just means "lowland". I don't know why it's plural in English.

If you say Nederlands in Dutch you're talking about the language.

Actually, "The Lowlands" is a fairly normal construction in English. You'll occasionally read rural English characters referring to "the moors" or "the fens" or whatever.

Cool. Mini series idea was neat, but nothing really beats the theater.

Yeah, I know. I didn't know why it had gone from singular to plural from one language to the other though, but jasper said it was a grammatical reason.

Oh so that's why I'm feeling so lost looking at the last page of this thread.

I read that on wikipedia just after watching the movie

I was waiting for a hell of a battle to be happened between the fellowship of the ring and the army of Angmar to be then following by a duel between Aragorn and the witch king of Angmar.

Then the meeting between her and Faramir is drawn out in the books as well. Give em a read.

Yea and that Eowyn finally realizes that her love for Aragorn was actually a kinda of hero-worship but in the movie we just see her beside Faramir. I really need to read the books.

There's a nice touch in the book, where the 'sword' Merry stabs the Witch-king with was particularly effective against him because it was a magical dagger which had been used by his enemies when the Witch-king was still a king in the north - just north of the barrow where the Hobbits got those swords. Distracted by that injury, he was open for Eowyn to kill him, though as you say, both stabs caused enormous injury to the stabbing parties too. Of course, the origin of the dagger was lost when Tom Bombadil was cut from the movie. Impossible to get everything into a movie (or even a trilogy of ridiculously long movies!), so it was inevitable that stuff like that was left out.

Like hell i will

No way at all anybody can talk me into watching something like that.

 

[king Ale]

Why?

 

[Dostoevsky]

It's a good movie.
