In Reply to: Re: 11 Oscars to LoTR! [clean sweep] posted by Dmitry on March 01, 2004 at 12:38:27:
My wife and I, and EVERYONE we know in the area who saw RoTK were thrilled; those who had read the Tolkien trilogy were even more impressed having felt that Peter Jackson came very close to recreating Tolkien's literary ending without sacrificing necessary film pacing. BTW, in case you never read the trilogy, the final book is somewhat anti-climactic in the manner of the film. Had Peter Jackson omitted those sequences fans of the books would have been outraged. Some folks apparently have difficulty with the lengthy conclusion after the One Ring is cast into the fires of Mount Doom, and I respect that, but speaking for myself and those of us who enjoyed this series it wound down very nicely.Our opinions are apparently 180 degrees opposite in respect to RoTK.

There's NO WAY a "sober" middle-aged person would go on a LOTR crusade otherwise.
I regretted wasting my magic herb on the experience.

They'll go well with LOTR III.
Then again, any movie will...just ask Auph.:)
I figured that the only way you guys could get through some of the boring Grey Poupon foreign-foo you rave on about was through prolonged herbal consumption. Now I'm back to square one and in need of a new theory! ;^)AuPh
No sense of wonder; no imagination; no fun. Tsk, tsk, ...too bad. BTW, I'm not on a "crusade" for LoTR or anything else (i.e., except perhaps changing Administrations next November, but that's for another Board). OTOH, if I had to choose between sobriety and your mind-set, well, as a clever lyricist once put it: I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than to have a prefrontal lobotomy! ;^)AuPh
Well actually for having one, you must first start with a brain......These kind of things can not happen to you....Avec tout mon amour...

Words . For the love of them.
Paleeze. Every time LOTR gets metioned you pop up like a teenage pimple.
Also, please do not mention your politics in this forum.
As far as politics are concerned, that was only mentioned in passing; you KNEW that of course, so puhleeeeeze, GET A GRIP (i.e., on reality, rather than your ....!).> > > "Every time LOTR gets mentioned you pop up like a teenage pimple." < < <
Have you looked in the mirror recently? ;^)
No offense, but if you don't like reading my entirely appropriate responses to the outrageous LoTR basher posts, then either a) don't open my replies, or better yet, b) don't POST the kind of ripostes that elicit some remark that hurts your feelings!
Regards,

I must say that your propensity to unfunny humor is equaled only by your taste in films, which is just as well.So, gather your cartoon characters, grab some hobbit bread and go on living in your little county fair-quality world.
But please, please don't ever try to assemble a joke I might stumble upon!
I almost felt ashamed reading your last post, and I've read some lame stuff here and elsewhere.
...who rudely insult other's tastes in films and then get upset when it's thrown back at them.> > > "But please, please don't ever try to assemble a joke I might stumble upon!" < < <
And likewise, please try to learn the difference between sarcasm and jokes. Both apply humor, but the target(s) of the former will understandably be less amused with the results.

I think that the " better episode " was in fact number two, a little long in the two third, but more enjoyable if I may say so.
