Movies Lord of the Rings
TNT just did a marathon today. Can't believe how old these movies are. Also how hard they are to get through in one sitting and I'm pretty sure these aren't even the extended versions.

Hi-lights

-Gimli is the comic relief
-Orcs are gross
-Nearly everything that happens combat-wise can be translated into WoW or DnD rules.

...

...

...What?!?!?

I mean seriously, Lord of the Rings is the one and only series where, no matter how many times I've watched it, I could pop in the three Extended Editions in a single day, watch them all, and thoroughly enjoy them.

The thought of presuming that 1: these movies are somehow old (Casablanca is old. The Wizard of Oz is old. These are not old) and the thought that 2: these movies are hard to get through are both completely foreign concepts to me. Are you sure your head's on straight?

(I was also actually disappointed at Gimli's severely reduced role in the movies, though I guess by Return of the King I finally accepted it and enjoyed the performance. I just think, especially with John Rhys-Davies as the actor, Gimli could've had so much more depth. I still think LOTR is the best damn movie trilogy ever, though, even considering its flaws, and absolutely nothing is going to come anywhere close anytime soon.)

...I thought one was supposed to point out how much they both stole from Tolkien.




Also every now and then, when I am on one of my numerous campaigns against sleep, marathoning the extended version DVDs is quite fun.

To be honest I never liked them that much. Just boring people doing boring things interspersed by some ok fight scenes. Also they long as fuck

You never read the books then I take it? They make the films look like they're on fast forward!

I think I was actually able to read them up to like halfway into Return of the King and then I was all "Hey look something less boring it's a rock."

I assumed that link would go to the scene where the whole army shouts "DEAAAAATH" and scares the crap out of three times that many orcs. If chills were people, I'd be China when I watch that. Every time.

Although I find every part worth watching. Actually I'm going to do that right now. Thanks, thread!

I read the books and they are worse except for Tom Bombadil who is amazingly awesome. Man he could have saved those films.

Edit: Like Tom knows he is in a shitty story and he's like "Fuck that, I'm just going to rock my own shit". Then he just kind of pisses around for 3 chapters just mocking dudes and messing stuff up.
