Just go all in on the fact that he clearly grows his own weed in there and make it a 40 minute Cheech & Chong routine

I could not even be allowed to enjoy the Hobbit with my eyes closed, considering Peter Jackson kept cutting away from Howard Shore's still quite amazing soundtrack. But as others said, there are good parts in there. 2 Films would have been more palatable. Edit: also seeing Movie 3 in a 3movie marathon was the second dumbest cinema Idea I ever had. (The first being to go to a a Jurassic World midnight Marathon) Sweevo posted:What this three hour long movie needs is for the action to stop dead so we can watch a dancing fairy man speak in rhyme for 40 minutes while adding absolutely nothing to the plot. To be fair, it didnt clash too much with the tone set out by the book thus far. To my 14year old dumb-rear end-self that is. DeafNote has a new favorite as of 15:26 on May 16, 2020 |

(The first being to go to a a Jurassic World midnight Marathon) I went to the college where Jack Horner, the inspiration for Alan Grant, taught paleontology. They held the Jurassic Park III premiere at a downtown theater in Bozeman, and a few of my friends who studied under Horner were invited. At the after party, one of them got into a conversation with a producer. Producer: So, how did you like it? Friend: Well...it was short. Producer: Yeah...it was definitely short.

Tom Bombadil has been a solved mystery since the 90's. He's the Witch King of Angmar. http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/theories/bombadil.htm

Tom Bombadil ís obviously an unknowable cosmic being that was already ancient when Morgoth was first created that will eventually rise and destroy the world once this insignificant business with rings is done.

Let's all take a moment to be grateful that if the LotR movies were filmed in 2 years later they would have probably tried to include Bombadil as a special DVD you had to buy separately or... *shudder* a web-exclusive short film.

In high school my friends and I marathoned all three of those in one shot and I have no idea how we made it through. We were all going a bit nuts by the end, especially since ROTK feels like it’s about to end for like 45 minutes even in the theatrical cut.

One thing that bothered me about the theatrical releases is they don't show how they dealt with Sarumon. For all we know, this incredibly dangerous evil wizard is still chilling in his tower by the end of the movies.

Hell, they managed to release a patch for Cats. I figure it won't be too long before they start putting paid DLC in movies. "Click here to buy the 'Luke doesn't die' alternate ending DLC for The Last Jedi!" If the DLC makes at least X million dollars, we'll make it canon!

Yeah this and the extended Helms Deep stuff are the only extended edition stuff I feel should have been included. I know HD is already pretty long but the extended one actually flows better.

Especially if you do it while still single, whoever ends up interested in going out with you already knows the weird niche thing you like and since they decided to go through with it anyway it seems a fair hope they'd be willing to participate.

He resigned out of nowhere once MeToo broke with his series being like #1 on Nickelodeon and Nick saying they just want to go in a different creative direction from the dude who made every non-Spongebob hit they had in the last 12 years and everyone thought that meant the dam was about to break and then the dam never broke and he just peacefully faded into obscurity.

If you look at the trailers, you will know that that isnt even true. And I feel I cannot agree with the notion that the theatrical editions are superior, even the scenes I know are superfluous I absolutely enjoy as additions. Meanwhile with the Hobbit trilogy, there were clearly some extended scenes that should have been in the regular version instead.

It's a shame I remember genuinely liking The Amanda Show. It was stupid, but you could tell a lot of the kid performers had chops and they weren't getting the chance to develop-- at the time I thought it was like Mad TV where their material always played under the level of their talent, but the actual truth seems to have been much much worse

I remember getting a few laughs from the Amanda Show too but it was mainly the other actors or a particularly laboured joke that wrapped back around to being funny like some of the reactions in the blockblister sketches. I particularly remember something from the actor who went on to play Lewbert in iCarly (I think) just because of how hard he threw himself into his overacting, like when it's like "We didn't think it was that bad... " "IT MADE MY EYES BLEE~D!"I also used to enjoy Jerry Trainor for a similar reason despite his characters often being whacky for whacky's sake.

That's what I mean, like sometimes you can just tell a performer/artist was given the wrong advice by the wrong person, or had the wrong instincts cultivated. Key and Peele practically had to unlearn some bad instincts they got from Mad TV when they got their Comedy Central show. There's a bit in a Donald Glover stand-up special-- the guy went to NYU and ended up doing work on 30 Rock while he was still a student, he was pegged very early for stardom--and told a story about how Tracy Morgan told him to just do a stand-up on penis jokes because it was easy and guaranteed to get a laugh. The "punchline" was that Glover did this, then met Chris Rock immediately after who was unimpressed with the material, which probably had a marked effect on how Glover's career would develop and go. My point being-- I really try to look beyond the instincts that some of those Disney and Nick show kid actors develop because it's clear they're being taught a form of comedy that really doesn't translate well to anything but an audience of children, even though yeah at best you could say that those shows are funny after they shoot way past their intended humor and hit a zen state of being so-dumb-its-funny-again.
