You don't want to get me started on LoTR. If you haven't seen Peter Jackson's cinematic treatment of Tolkein's trilogy then you don't really have an informed opinion, now do you? Most folks I know appreciate LoTR; they're NOT children! Most are well educated and would take umbrage to your remark. These films are highly respected as an artistic achievement and a faithful adaptation of modern literary classics. If it isn't your taste, that's fine, but if you haven't seen the films than how can you form an educated opinion; that's shoddy reseach, my good magistrate.As for patrick's inane comment below, we know the kind of Grey Poupon foo he & Victrola (his master's voice) get their rocks off watching, but they shouldn't get their jollies by putting down other folks tastes in films with references to cretinism and the like. I doubt patrick even knows what the word cretin means unless he has a thyroid condition, which is entirely possible of course. Do you really want to be sucked into a marriage of inconvenience with these two without an prenuptual agreement? ;^)
Easily the most ridiculous film of the decade.
substitute kaka for crap and apply to LOTR- and I strongly agree with the sentiment.
I have no problem with people calling something crap. It's Garvin who does.
I guess I'm not up on the internal feuds that are going on. I like the statement at face value. People have opinions, and I do myself. Sarcastic or not, I like the statement as it was written.
I have no problem with someone calling something "crap." Only with those people who cannot tell us why something is "crap", and then when another explains why it is not "crap", the brilliant rejoinder that it is "crap." Give me analysis, not conclusions. Shed the light on your inability to do more than simply shout conclusions.
Tragically, your uninformed opinion provides almost all of the olive-brown parrot foo deposited here and the threads don't scroll fast enough to sweep it all under the virtual carpet. The pretentiousness of your praise for so much foreign "soap opera" cinema while denouncing a well crafted epic like the LoTR trilogy (i.e., a series of films which lifts the human spirit and challenges the imagination of the viewer), smacks of chutzpah worthy of immediate dismissal and ridicule. Why don't you tell us how great Tvarsky's Solar-plexis (Solaris) is again? You know, the one with the seemingly endless tunnel sequence that had Sominex contemplating a lawsuit! Or better yet, you and patrick can pop another cork on some Vichy water and wax poetic about some Grey Poupon French romantic snoozer that few, if any, give a rat's patootie about. Yeah, that's the ticket!
The same tune with so many variations ad nauseatum ...Try to explore other alternatives of thinking and writing, once we have read one of your missives we read them all.
You are boring.
;^)> > > "The same tune with so many variations ad nauseatum[sic] ..." < < <
Yeah, ...maybe ...just maybe you're beginning to get a clue, but if that is the case then you should inform your tag-team mate, Mr. V-chip-on-his-shoulder, ASAP. You see, there's no reason to vary one's comments when all we see is the same tired coprolitic sh*t from you guys! Don't kid yourself, you and Victor are the ad nauseum champs here.
> > > "You are boring." < < <
Ah, since you're speaking subjectively, quite possibly, but my topical posts aren't directed to just one or two people. BTW, objectivity isn't something we've come to expect from either you or Victor, so I'll rely on a wider consensus if you don't mind.
LoTR is a magnificent series of films; they're classics, PERIOD. If you don't like 'em for whatever reason(s), that's fine, but trashing works of artistic merit with ridiculous comments about cretinism personally insults everyone who appreciates Peter Jackson's epic achievement. I'll politely add that you & Victor should try to get over yourselves and learn to respect the tastes of others, especially if you want folks to give the works you feel passionately about a second thought.
And I new you would not missed it! Kaka....Hein? You are so predictible!
But in a way you are fascinating the way you turn things around.
And the pervers way you tend to isolate people is Faschistoid.
Every one is entitle to have fun with debile films.
You too.
Particulary you.
Something must be lost in translation. My Webster's New World Broken-English Dictionary has no listing for "debile." At first, I thought maybe this is a pun, but naw, that requires cleverness. So, patrick, would you care to elaborate?
You can always ask me, I'll help you... even if you don't deserve it.Yes, LOTR is a horrible dreck. It was irritating in the extreme. But you may keep polishing that turd.
Victor, questions which beg to be asked:
(1) Which LOTR was "horrible dreck and irritating?"
A) If Part I was horrible dreck, then was Part II and III horrible dreck and irritating?B) If so, then why would you watch Part II and Part III knowing they were likely to be horrible dreck and irritating?
C) If not, then why comment on films you never saw?
D) If you you did not see all three films, then at what point in the film(s) you did see did you realize that it (they) was (were) horroble dreck and irritating?
E) If you realized that, let's say, based on your superior movie watching skills, that it (they) was (were) horrible dreck within 10 minutes, why would you continue to subject yourself to horrible dreck for more than another 2 1/2 hours, plus sequels, particularly when there are so many Masterpiece Theaters to be watched.
;^)BTW, I don't require a Russian interpretor to explain the ins and outs of over-the-top ramblings from Frenchman living in Germany. Multi-culturalism only goes so far, dude. :o)
Patrick will.For the mind weak. But I wonder that you could not translate it.
Oh yes of course!
Apparently you're taking cleverness classes; good for you! But FYI, de only bile I see on this forum are posts contributed by you and Victor pushing Grey Poupon Euro-films like crack cocaine while dissing popular films and their viewers without just cause.
A rude debile.
;^)

In this case (nt) stands for "nice try" as your trap apparently caught you instead, having been baited for weasel. ;^)Now how about addressing my speculation in my earlier post (i.e., in regard to cretinism, "One can only surmise what apparently did this to you.")? If you can't bring yourself to do that, then how about answering the question I posed in the subject line of this post!
BTW, next time, don't try asking questions to which you already know the answers (i.e., Have you bought the trilogy on DVD?) as a set-up for personal innuendo and more bashing of Director Jackson's wonderful epic.
Seen? Should I say no? No you want me to say yes as you know I have saw it, but it was out of curiousity and because I had free tickets. Happy?
Yes every one is some time a cretin. Some more some less.
Guess?
If that is the case, and by your own admission it DOES appear to be the case, then you are basing your narrow-minded viewpoint on incomplete impressions of Jackson's LoTR trilogy. You're kind of like folks over here who go around griping about the government, but rarely vote!
