You didn't even enjoy some of it?? LOTR is worse than the "bad films" mentioned?

The only funny thing about it is this guy....Who is crusading...

Victor is apparently just being an arsehole or being himself, if you prefer. - Audiophilander 11:15:13 12/27/05 (11)
He seems to enjoy stirring things up by attacking movies that are hugely and/or critically successful, but mostly Mr. Khomenko knows that the LoTR trilogy is a favorite of mine and that I will rebuff his contrarian attacks on this series of films.
Victor has demonstrated time and again that he hates sophisticated fantasy films and loves to trash LoTR at every opportunity; my guess is that he doesn't have "fun" at movies where he's asked to suspend disbelief and allow his mind to journey into an imaginary realm. OTOH, he'll gladly spread grey poupon all over some lame-arsed Euro flick with his buddy patrick, then they'll proceed to lick it off together in threads that go on ad infinitum.
The bottom line: Victor apparently prefers pretentious Euro-films with boring characters still searching for the meaning of life while the end credits are rolling. He doesn't like LoTR because it's grand fun and an epic storytelling experience.

- Well, I've said very little about LoTR... - EBerlin 11:25:40 12/27/05 (2)
  ...and have not tried to bait anyone either, and I think the trilogy is pretty bad, too. The difference between Victor and I may be that I don't mind if others do like it! ;-)
  - Thank you, and I respect your informed opinion even though we differ on LoTR. (nt) - Audiophilander 12:11:21 12/27/05 (1)

      ...that in September I visited the site in India where the swords and armor and other weaponry is made for LoTR and other epics like Kingdom of Heaven. It's called Windlass Steelcrafts. http://www.windlass.com/
      To represent how perverse I am, although I wasn't sold on the generally well-reviewed LoTR, I liked the generally reviled Kingdom of Heaven a lot (which I watched while returning from India). I even thought Orlando Bloom was admirably understated in this film.
      There's simply no accounting for taste!

        ... by the fact that you're constantly in need of an assisted change! It doesn't matter to me whether it's diapers or Depends, your deposits tend to have the same distinct off-color aroma in either case, ...usually grey poop-on. But let's get one thing straight, petit homme: it ain't my job to clean up after your messes here or Outside; that responsibility falls on your buddy Victor's crusty shoulders, and hands. No need to fret though! He's a connoisseur of special "k" from both the Continent and incontinent as reflected in both of your film tastes. :o)

        (PS) Here's a bit of free advice, patrick: Next time don't try getting down and dirty with someone who's used to fighting in the trenches. ;^)

        My field of study did NOT include majoring in Proctology, but I'm sure that The Board has one on call for emergencies with Victor and patrick exposing that side of themselves so often. :o)
