Have I got a throbbing headache!

Ugh.....do you realize how too much of a good thing is when you watch something as brilliant as The Return of the King???? DO YOU? It\'s like too much cocaine. An overdose, one would say.

Anyway, sitting on my ass all day was not a good thing.

BTW....this is the greatest movie of all time! Peter Jackson just bitch slapped Kurosawa and is now his sammich maker. ROTK made Seven Samurais looked like Glitter.

It was so so...

Oh and I guess your thread Sammy wasn\'t good enough for GMan.. He had to create his own thread.

"Hey, look at me!! I went and saw it twice!!"

"Hey, I\'m the greatest!!!"

"Screw you guys and your thread you already have!! Look at me! My butt hurts!!"

Actually, this was gonna be a spoiler thread. But I was too tired last night to type it all up.

[sp]The extended DVD is gonna be one long ass movie. The breakin og Saruman\'s staff by Gandalf, the retaking of The Shire by the returning Hobbits and wasn\'t Legolas supposed to be on the ship heading West? The movie didn\'t deviate too much. [/sp]

I\'ve seen more than one - so can I compare?!?!

(currently owns four of them - planning on buying a couple other\'s including \' Ikru\' - the up and comin Criterion)

No doubt Akira was a brilliant and visionary director , but why must we bring him up EVERYTIME?

Yeah, let\'s employ some real live dragons, mm. Since I do know enough about yer boy Akira (which BTW...you need to stop kissing his dead ass), I can make a comparison. LOTR Rules all. Peter Jackson did a marvelous job. Tolkien was brilliant.

If anyone is a fanboy....it would be you, Mr. Kurosawa is Rolling in his Grave coz People Have a Different Taste Than mm.

And BTW, Bad Taste wasn\'t meant to be distributed to theaters. He did it mainly for his friends. Then he got the money to make the movie and it has had a cult following since.

You must be on drugs. The animated movie "The Hobbit" was more of a summary than an actual true translation of the book. The second animation was more of the same, only they used live action and just painted in the characters. The third, again, like the other two, skipped more than half of the stories.

I think this is one subject you need to stay out of since you probably haven\'t read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. If you did, then i can\'t see how you could compare the abridged cartoon version to the Peter Jackson movies can say the cartoon version was better.

Not ALWAYS true.

Gone With the Wind was a big budget movie and that was quite brilliant. LOTR Trilogy as well.

I think the magic that low budgets have is that if it flops, no one cries. If it\'s a success like Blaire Witch Project, everyone say HOLY COW! It\'s all about expectations. People expect big things from big budget movies and typically, they don\'t deliver. I can see your point there. But there are exceptions.

very, very few exceptions
