    Lord of the Rings: the short version



    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
    - 23rd Sacred Scroll, 6th verse

    i've seen loads of these lotr gifs popping up, some of them are excellent...
    "Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
    Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country.
    it works the same in every country."
    -Herman Goering, Hitler's Reichsmarschall, at the Nuremberg trials.

    That was great. It's impossible for me to look at Lord of the Rings without thinking of Clerks 2.

    I know ... LOTR is forever going to be 'tainted' by Clerks 2 now ... for me anyway ... though I still think the Rings films are epically good.

    That was pretty funny.

    I won all the extended editions of LOTR's and have never opened them up. I have no need for it. I just don't see or can find a reason to watch those films.

    Having just watched the "Short Version, I really see no need now.

    You've gotta watch them!

    I've got all the extended editions on DVD, an incredible collection of filmmaking.

    Bull****! Lord of the Rings is an excellent example of mediocre and dull filmmaking. There's nothing stellar about them! And ROTK ****ing sucks. It's below par. It's so cheesy, my balls hurt.

    I'd like to see you spend five years of your life making three epic movies in a row from an epic source novel working with ground-breaking computer technology as well as an army of dedicated individuals working in many varied and assorted crafts to bring one of the most intricately pieced together pieces of fiction there has ever been.

    The Lord of the Rings series and King Kong are nowhere near as good Bad Taste, Braindead and Heavenly Creatures. Jackson is a big fat sell out full stop.

    A sell out doesn't work their guts out and pay massive attention to detail, nor make content he's deeply passionate about.

    What's with all the Jackson playa-hatin'?

    Well you have a point. Peter did put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the movies. We need to give him credit for that. He loved the books and had a dream to make the book a movie(s).

    Because a bunch of billion dollar movies are nowhere near as good as his earlier efforts which only cost a few thousand, thats why.
