I thought you wrote a very informative post Novakart, whether or not Hindsight was trolling, at least I learned something Smile

I have a love/hate thing with LotR, on the one hand there's sexy men and epic tales (what's not to love!?), but on the other, I thought the endless battles were too much for my nerves. I esp. hated the second movie, war after war after war after war... Neutral Guess I have to agree with Novakart on that one.

I guess I'm a pacifist troll. I liked the first movie, with the nice, peaceful hobbits and the beautiful farmland. The second movie seems to be unending mayhem.


I'm gonna try to read the books though...someday.

I do wish people would stop "trolling" public forums. I just really don't understand the appeal. Most people come looking for real advice or just want to have a bit of a chat, why all the sarcasm, negativity and mean-spiritedness? Sad

And I third Novakart's last comment as well.

Thanks. I found myself clicking LOTR related links on YouTube for over an hour.

Remember this?

i liked the first movie. the second and third were jokes.

jackson is a terrible director who should have stuck with shitty low budget horror.

but this is brilliant

To really understand the LOTR trilogy, you really need to see this clip from Clerks 2;

I think Randal summed up the "trilogy" very well.

I remember when I saw this part of the movie at MMC (not the highest point in my existence), all the girls in the theater swooned when Orlando Bloom walked in- Rolling Eyes jeez!

OK, I finally finished The Two Towers. That was a long movie, 223 minutes. But at least the last 10 minutes are credits. I only watched the first five -- did I miss anything?

I do seem to have missed something, though. Why is it called "The Two Towers"?

because the story was divided into one which mostly focused on orthanc (sarumans tower) and another which was focused on barad-d�r (sauron's)

it makes more sense in the book - like all things
