Boy howdy, do you have ME pegged incorrectly!No bible thumper here, bro. I am if anything, the exact opposite. How can anyone believe in any religeon? All religeons say basically the same things, including that they are the only way. Well, if they all say this, then they must all be wrong, right? It's only logical. Nope, no sky-pilot here, my man.
I used the 10 Commandments comparison as an example of just how dated the LOTR movies will be in 30 years as technology and movies change. As good as Gollum looks, in as little as 5 years from now, he's gonna look like The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Yes, Heston is an absolute stiff in 10C, and what, Viggo isn't in LOTR? Well, he's no Mark Hammil!
I read the first Ring book as a teenager. I thought it was a trifle. Pure fantasy with all the good and evil too spelled out and obvious. I saw the first 2 films and thought they took that obviousness and amplified it. The films take themselves too seriously. As pretentious as it gets, these movies pretend to have something important to say about humanity and the nature of good and evil, but it's all so simplistic, like it's written for children. Ultimately, the series is just boring. Is that substance enough?
However, those of us who appreciate this series are not interested in your blathering on about how childish you consider films based on Tolkien's works to be.
How's this: those of us who don't appreciate this series are not interested in your blathering on about how important you consider films based on Tolkien's works to be?
It goes both ways, AuPh.
