I'm sorry, but it'll be a crime if LOTR:ROTK wins best movie

[GasX]

How many excessively drawn out scenes does it take to end a movie?

 

[RagingBITCH]

Majority of people don't feel the same way as you. Your opinion is pretty worthless to the Oscar board.

 

[GasX]

It might have my vote if the ended it right after the coronation. The rest of the movie was just the director's self-indulgence and should have been left on the editing room floor.

 

[BaboonGuy]

Might win if the voters have all read the books.

 

if the movie would have had a single ending scene, everyone would have bitched about confusion on "the rest of the story"

i also think the people who complain about the multiple ending scenes were the same folks in the theater who mistakingly clapped after each one thinking it was over.

You haven't read the books obviously, I feel no pity for you because you don't care enough to read them and understand. Peter Jackson followed the books pretty close and did a good job at it.

Yes, I read the books. Good for him for following them so closely. He didn't need to make every exchanged glance in the last 45 minutes of the movie 30 seconds long...

It would have been cool if those were the only times idiots clapped...

Example:

The Hobbits return to the shire and get the gruff "oh dear, here come those gay boys again" look. Then they go to the pub and individually share a meaningful glance. Then they all take a sip of beer and exchange a meaningful glance. Then Sam sees the fat chick at the bar and exchanges a meaningful glance with each of his mates. Then Sam leaves and the remaining hobbits exchange meaningful glances....

OK, enough with the meaningful glances, already...

And don't get me started on the massive homo-eroticism in the Frodo wakes up after saving the world scene...

mwilding, stfu before you dig yourself into a HUGE hole. the book was like that from what i understand!!!

[GasX]

A huge hole? What are you all going to dress up like hobbits and come to my house and give me a wedgie?

 

And don't get me started on the massive homo-eroticism in the Frodo wakes up after saving the world scene...

hobbits were tender loving characters with tightly knit companionship of family and friends
that message was relayed in the books, and in all three movies

heh

just out of curiosity, what movie do you think should win

 

[yllus]

I thought the movie sorta sucked, and I'm a fan, read and own the books, etc etc. It was just shoddy acting.

Seabiscuit Good acting, good plot, good editing and awesome storytelling...

Lost in Translation was fascinating but not truly "best movie" material. Bill Murray should get best actor if only to hear his speech... Master & Commander was good, but not THAT good. I didn't see Mystic River.

I haven't seen Seabiscuit or Lost in Translation(watching it tomorrow) I think ROTK is the best movie out of Master & Commander and Mystic River (didn't like that at all)

 

[Chiropteran]

I agree, LOTR:ROTK was terrible.

 

[Czesia]

LOTR ROTK was really well done, I thought. They actually had to leave parts out due to time constraints. It paralleled the book quite well and though long, if those scenes had been cut, it would have taken away from the story.

 

[SherEPunjab]

ROTK was the Best of the 3. Number 1 was second best, and #2 was third best.

i loved ROTK.
