The analogy you failed to catch because of your own lack of understanding should not impact people who read a book for enjoyment and for a new out take on life.Originally posted by: Buck Armstrong
I'm more turned off by the rumor of two movies for this one book. Sorry, I loved the Hobbit, but large chunks of it are boring and unnecessary.
For example, I was glad they left the whole Tom Bombadil foolishness out of FOTR. When Tolkien's books are good, they're the absolute best, but when they're bad...they're mind-numbingly tedious. I don't need to know every single freakin' word of every song the midgets sang on their journey...now hurry up and show the elves, and will somebody PLEASE fight something?!
I( per
I signed it, although I doubt it will do any good. I thought the movies were portrayed in a good style, though certainly not some parts were how I would have done it. Being an armor and weapons enthusiast and a researcher and adviser to many mods weapons and warfare, I wish Weta had made more chain mail and less of that cheesy elven armor and that stupid clunk Uruk Hai Armor and more chain chain chain as Tolkien had it. And curved eleven blades is cheesy and ripped off from countless fantasy crap books, who in their deluded minds somehow started thinking that Elves with Samaria swords was the way to go. Absolute bull ****** and posh
And if you think I'm being a detailest, go ahead and sue me.
Detailest, perhaps not.
Somebody that doesn't understand what a movie adaptation is, then yes.
:laugh:
My condescending attitude?? You may want to look up the definition to "irony."
Just as a starter hint, If you tell people that they didn't "get it" in regards to certain things and that you somehow have a deeper understanding of it, then you may be condescending.
