The Hobbit was very much a personal tale about one Hobbit's journey and how he learns about himself in the process, which immediately makes it more relatable. There's a reason the bulk of Tolkien-style fantasy literature is seen as exclusively for nerds, and it's that most people just don't find that sort of thing entertaining. Lord of the Rings, like much of the copycat literature that followed, was focused on world-building and complexity of plot to the detriment of its characterization, and that makes for dry reading. I might have to give Fellowship another chance soon.Īnonymous 11/12/23(Fri)00:06 No. That said, sixth grade was seven years ago. I feel no shame in enjoying a children's book more than one of the blandest things I've ever read. Yea Hobbit is a bit easier since its the story of one dude that gets way in over his head during a trip.heh Dude way in over his head. That's because Tolkien wrote it for children.īunker !OFOzVPOG0g 11/12/22(Thu)23:33 No. >Already finding it much easier to get into than Fellowship of the Ring Already finding it much easier to get into than Fellowship of the Ring, which I started in sixth grade, got sixy pages in, put down, and never touched again.ĭr. 30931īorrowed a copy of the book from a friend because I haven't actually read it before. I heard Sean read the script for Indy 4 and rejected it.Īww c'mon, why did they have to kill him off after 3? I mean, it wouldn't have hurt AT ALL to have him attend his grandson's wedding. I've heard that many of the celebs that get roped into doing this crap only get to see clips that are done with a higher budget and never know that the thing is actually a low budget POS till its too late. But I'm not quite understanding why these two would ever be alone together.īunker !OFOzVPOG0g 11/12/22(Thu)15:53 No. WTF was with the looks shared between Galadriel and Gandalf? I get and understand the LotR framing they are using to tell The Hobbit. I didn't realize how much singing took place! But hearing Thorin and company sing in the trailer, I became ten different kinds of excited. onths ago I finally read and finished The Hobbit.
#LOTR TWO TOWERS 3.03 BOOK TO SCRIPT MOVIE#
God was that really the last movie he's been in? I mean, really? We can't even count that cameo image of him in Indy 4, which is still bad.įile 132453883897.jpg - (77.81KB, 593x296, billi_cover.jpg )Īctually his last "appearence" is Sir Billi.
We can't let his last role be Alan Quartermaine in that shitty LXG movie, we can't!ĭandyman 11/12/21(Wed)22:53 No. Srsly, wtf! The man was in Zardoz! ZARDOZ! How is the comprehensibility of a film an impediment to him? Sean Connery was offered and rejected a role, AGAIN, cause he "does not understand".įile 132453467164.jpg - (71.84KB, 475x471, snowwhite.jpg ) I'm so excited for this and I didn't even like The Lord of the Rings. 30909 >Benedict Cumberbatch voices Smaug and the Necromancer End of shooting that day he just lights up and camps out in whatever hillock he finds himself in. Well Grey is more adventitious and action while White is.subdued. I think Ian McKellen prefers playing Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White.īunker !OFOzVPOG0g 11/12/21(Wed)21:17 No.
