    So going by your point of reference then, it was a great movie as it was right up there against it?

    No money really shouldn't come into it at all really... Yet there you are seemingly knee-jerking because of the money?

    You do realise you've backed up your basic insults of these films, with non-points or just more insults? I rest my case M'Lord...

    You're right. I completely forgot about the gay love story between Sam and Frodo

    No neil, it was another insult. Sorry to disappoint. The only reason the Academy voted it in was because of the knee jerk reaction to low ratings. Otherwise let us be honest that film didn't deserve squat other than sound and CG.

    They were blue and lived in the trees, smurfs lived in mushrooms which were just smaller trees. More to that analogy there ole bean. BTW, yes cheap dig at a cheap shit flick.

    Actually in this case yes especially when you own ex-wife owns you with a film that didn't even cost 3% of what AVATARD did.

    Nope, the movie just sucks. It is over rated, over produced and just overly boring.

    I once made a thread entitled "I Hate Hobbits", and Neil didn't get on me about it like this. DJ must have pissed him off.

    Anyway... Suspect, with the thought of two high budget films moving to Eastern Europe, the unions will not happen...

    You saw the first film, rather enjoyed it, but had a confusing dream about midgets later that night and hated the films ever since.

    Admit it!

    Hey some people enjoy a lot fo exercise... then there are those of us who watch a fat and skinny stoner doing the dumbest fucking shit alive because we find it funny and more entertaining than oh... I dunno... say, 9 hours of walking.
