ok, I'd forgotten about that one. Removing Tom Bombadil from the movies was a 100% ok change.

Maybe I should say, everything they added sucked. Here, have another 30 minutes of tree dialogue.

The most egregious script error was how they crammed a bunch of meanless drama into the 2nd movie, which left basically 2 movies worth of material to get crammed into Return of the King.

Fellowship is great. No qualifier needed. But the other two and your thoughts on King Kong, God did KK suck balls, are pretty close to mine

I agree wholeheartedly with the complaints about Treebeard and that is 100% on Jackson if memory serves.

He had some weird fascination with how boring he was (his words). One of those things where the artist foolishly locks in on something that no one can dissuade him of.

What are you referring to?

I haven't watched them in awhile but I really like how they developed Aragorn and Arwen's romance to mirror Beren and Luthien. If anything Aragorn isn't developed enough but that helped.

 

[eznark]

Gorgeous pass

 

[Kave_Man]

Jarvis Jones isn't impressing me this game.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Jesse Williams of Alabama will be a Patriot.

I like Rambo (mostly because of his name), but if McCourty is a full time safety now, together with Wilson and maybe Chung we might have enough for now.

Any good corners out there?

 

[Wes]

Is it the SEC game everyone is on about?

yes but you've missed all but the end

 

[Futurevoid]

Likely Faramir's taking of Frodo to Osgiliath. It's what most people bring up as the most unnecessary change in TTT.

That along with moving Shelob into movie three instead of it taking place in TTT.

I dont think theres a standout star CB this year.

I'll come clean. I only watch the final 2 mintues of football games.

 

[eznark]

Congratulations to Alabama on yet another National Championship.

I love when the championship games are so interesting. That was a great way to cap the season.

even the brownies? i do the same with CFB games I'm not too interested in fwiw

 

[Spectral Glider]

Georgia needs a decent return to have a serious shot.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Fair catch...and game over.

Yeah, I think Fellowship ends up being great anyway, mostly because they just cut stuff. And the first half of the book is very much world-building anyway (hobbits, barrow downs, Bombadil, etc), which could be cut without affecting the story at large.

Well, the Treebeard thing! The ents flooding Isengard had to be delayed for a triple-climax at the end of the movie, which meant the ents had to stall for time by talking very slowly.

The drama with Aragorn getting lost or falling off a cliff or whatever happened to him was forgettable and pointless. The Aragorn and Arwen stuff was boring, and largely redundant given some of what made it into RotK.

Frodo and Sam's sidetrip to Osgiliath came across as an effort to get more use out of that sweet set.

I'm sure there are more, but the net result was like an hour of additions that are largely unimportant to the plot. So they moved the cliffhanger ending of TT into RotK, and that movie ended up feeling rushed (at almost 3 and a half hours!) because you can only cut so much and still keep a coherent narrative.

 

[Slo]

Game over.

 

[eznark]

Great catch on that pick.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Lol, dude has a weave in his head.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

lol Georgia sucks

 

[Elfforkusu]

So I think I'm going to have to root for Notre Dame. It's just for this once. I will rationalize it as being out of respect for Curly Lambeau.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I bet you watch True Blood.

my wife does. I watch football.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Announcer's right, should've clocked it and collected themselves. Oh well. Now we've got college's awesome system where they play the title game 600 days from now.

 

[eznark]

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

if there is anyone I hate more than Buck it's this idiot motherfucker.

No.

Curly Lambeau had horrible taste in sports teams and that's the only way for you to think about it.

 

[squicken]

yep. said in CFB thread you can't expect kids to be situationally aware right there. clock it and tell them not to get tackled in field of play

 

[goldlion054]

Wisconsin because I want to hear the bitching from the SEC stans about such a terrible team making it into a BCS game.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

I'm dying

Same here. I find cfb mind numbingly boring and this is from someone who's had to watch Leftwich and Batch qb my team the last couple weeks.
