ESPN 30/30 doc "Rand University". The very compelling story of Randy Moss. The guys that came out of that high school at that time were some of the best ever. Also the story of where I grew up.

30/30 docs are often great. Len bias one, the best that never was, you don't know Bo, the one about benji all great.

Hollywood, CA–At a press conference today outside his estate in Beverly Hills, acclaimed director Peter Jackson announced his plans to make a 72-film adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. “It was the next logical step after doing Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit,” Jackson said. “In Lord of the Rings, we took over a thousand pages of novel and adapted it to the big screen in three extremely long films. Then in The Hobbit, we took a children’s book a fraction the length of Lord of the Rings, and also made it into three extremely long films.”

Jackson then unfolded his plan for Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, which begins with a mythological account of the creation of Middle Earth and culminates in the great battles of the Elves during the First Age. “The first film in the series is set to come out in Summer 2016. Then, every two years from 2018 to 2160, the following installment will be released.

Returning to the original cinematic backgrounds of the Lord of the Rings movies, Jackson made an executive decision to save costs for shooting the outdoor scenes, and had his studio purchase the entire island of New Zealand. “In the long run it will cost us a lot less. Plus, now the citizens of New Zealand are the property of our studio, so we get free labor to build sets.”
Movie buffs and Tolkien nerds alike are ecstatic over the news, and Jackson, as usual, is enjoying the attention, teasing them about the contents of some of the 72 movies they can look forward to. “16 of the movies will be almost exclusively footage of the elven-folk doing various dances, and I don’t want to say much, but The Silmarillion: Part 49 is subtitled Gandalf Smokes his Pipe.””

LOTR sucks ass. Both the books and the movie. Idk how people like it so much

I never quite got the fascination, but then I think GoT is gay.

I saw that doc a few weeks ago. Pretty good. I loved that they caught the Sunday Night Football player introductions where he was on the 49ers and stated his college as "Rand University". But he's a complex story. He's not a complete victim at all, which the director made out.

I was particularly compelled by the Two Escobars, I thought they did a great recap of the Tonya Harding vs. Nancy Kerrigan affair, and Benji were excellent.

The fight in high school was definitely not his fault (other than him being there), pretty much a complete sham by the administration. Race issues were part of the reason Dupont ended up getting shut down and consolidated. But he didn't help himself out later with the parole violations and what-not. That area he's from has a lot of hillbilly racist fucks. My high school (30% black) always almost came to blows with his high school and some other from that end of the valley, during sporting events. Another high school near there is/was (not sure if this has changed) a Jeopardy question: which high school in america has never graduated a minority?

Wow what a mess.

The casting for the new Terminator movie looks very poor and it seems like a lot of pieces from the old movies are just being recycled.

 

[radekas]

The flipping bus scene is worse than the van scene from The Walking Dead.

 

[Stevie]

True i dont have high expectations for it but i will check it out non the less.

Stoneheart Asylum, based on an Edgar Allen Poe short story. I really enjoyed the movie. Good cast. A bit predictable, but that's probably because every story that you have seen before that is like this was influenced by Poe. Def worth a watch.

Judging by that little preview it'll be difficult to make this a PG, but there wasn't much real gore shown. Hopefully there is at least a director's cut.

I love how it censores his surname when I'm not logged on .

Anyway, a bad choice for such a great character imo. Phoenix would be better for sure but this guy doesn't do sequels and trequels and millionquels.

Well let's hope DC does better with Dr Fate, eventually.

That preview was made 4 years ago as a test footage. The movie that is currently being made won't be anything like that if they make it PG.
