Yea I like the SS

I'm kinda like the movie. You always want the bad guy to win, but you know they won't but it's fun to watch em blow up in the process!

Pyro · 12-17-2002, 11:04 PM

At first, when I saw the previews for LOTR, I said "What the hell is this shit". Ignored the craze, moved on with life. Then I bought the DVD because I wanted to have a DVD collection that suits all my friends, whenever they come over, I have a movie to please them. So I watched LOTR with my g/f, didn't expect to be amazed by it. Needless to say, I WAS amazed. I once bashed it, and once I've seen it, I've become a total fan to the epic novel. LOTR Action Figures now sit on my desk at work (Gimli and Uruk Hai), and there have been many times I've visited Borders or Barne's & Nobles and visited teh LOTR area, and ind myself wanting half of everything on it. I've never liked reading though, and I find myself tempted to pick up all 3 books and read them. No, I'm not gay, I don't have elf, dwarve, hobbit, or orc fetish, I don't dress up as and role-play the movie, and I don't quote anything from the movie. I just liked watching it, and in my free time, like to THINK about a different kind of world. It's very artistic and creative, some punks don't appreciate that. They find art in food and thats about it. If you don't like something, ignore it and shut up and let other people enjoy it!

I saw the Two Towers at 12:01 this morning and I must say, it was excellent. I loved the first one, and this one beats it hands down. There are soo many cool effetcs in it, and with the exception to 2 parts of the movie, they stayed pretty true to the book, so I am rather pleased. I really can't wait to see the third one now (although I'll see this one at least 3 more times in the theaters)

Wow, only 3?

Pyro · 12-18-2002, 11:52 PM

they cut out the last 5 chapters of the Two Towers...I think The Two Towers is the longest and Return of the King the shortest...so those chapters probably will be the start of the third movie.

You know Butters, maybe your friends have changed for the better. Your fascination with blowing up Nazis and violence is a little over the top. Put yourself in the place of a normal everyday soldier pushed into going to war by politicians and I think you would change your mind pretty fucking quickly about blowing the fucking crap outta someone. It's not pretty, and it certainly is not fucking cool. The sooner you kids grow up and realise war aint no fucking game the better.

I would choose LOTR over an action/war flick anyday. Tolkiens story is a classic, no over the top violence and blood shed, classic good against evil storyline set in a fantastical world, and it's a damn sight more interesting then seeing regurgitated America vs Nazi's movies over and over again, although Band of Brothers was an outstanding achievement, and is, IMO, the best war movie/series to ever be shown. Not because of the violence and the setting, but because of the human factor portrayed in it, by showing that war is a horrible thing and can destroy mentally the strongest of us or on the flipside make us stronger.

I agree....If you watch SPR, BoB, or any other film as such for the point of watching Germans, or anyone for that matter, getting blown up...Then you are totally missing the point....You are also somewhat of a sick person, IMO.

SPR & BoB, are both ANTI-War films....They were made to show people the reality of war, the disgusting truth of it all....They weren't made to excite anyone about death and sadness.....That's just crazy.

I think people confuse, valour and brotherhood for somekind of promotion of death, violence and war....The only reason films promote the whole gallantry thing, is to demonstrate the human character under such pressure as war, and how some people can selflessly give their lives for people close to them....It's not always about Good over evil, beacuse the fact is, not all Germans had the same political beliefs of those running the government at the time...That's just an immature and plain ignorant belief.

I used to watch SPR soooooo much. I loved the action and Speilberg's directing....Is that healthy? hehe

I saw THE TWO TOWERS today and although it was very good, it did NOT
have the extra ingredient the first had. I preferred THE FELLOWSHIP OF
THE RING because it had more memorable scenes :-)

The "dream" scene is amazing; that I must admit. biggrin:
