Tom Bombadill smoked the best weed. So much so that even Elrond knew he'd just sell the One Ring for more weed.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:The only good thing about the Hobbit movies was the Mirkwood elves being massive assholes and joking about how disgusting dwarves are. Oh and to be fair they fuckin nailed Smaug. The rest is garbage tho. There are a couple videos on youtube about the lengths Benedict Cumberbatch went to in his performance as Smaug and I rather liked them.

gently caress no, the whole point of the movie was to maintain an agrarian lifestyle in the face of looming industrialization. You don't need geothermal energy when you've got nice food and drink and pipeweed. (also it's Vancouver Island not New Zealand Island)

No extra / cut scenes confirming that the hobbits actually knocked up pile of elf chicks when they stayed in Rivendell.

Big Beef City posted:Elf women are driven absolutely WILD by hobbits and it drives other elves nuts. The behind the scenes cast stories and production for the Fellowship of the Ring was top notch. Like how John Rhys-Davies during the boat training for the first movie he claimed Orlando Bloom intentionally tipped their boat over the training just to make the miserable. The midget doubles used for long shots were really bossy and their main guy enjoy giving orders to Viggo Mortensen between shoots. The cast even made the joke during commentary track how they wanted a scene with elf chicks with noticeably large bellies waving and crying as the Hobbits leave Rivendell.

The Hobbit sucked since you could tell many of cast from ian mckellen didn't enjoy the experience and Peter Jackson took it over to save it from production hell. It was sort of like the bloat and cool special effects overlook like when George Lucas got the big budget to make the prequels. The audio commentary and behind the scenes was LoTR like all the stories of pranks or shoots that went really wrong. Also all the funny stories like how Sean Bean was terrified of flying/helicopters and for the mountain scenes would prefer to hike up to location shoots well dressed in his costume.

They should have just done one or two movies by Del Toro and given him the control to make it what he thought it should have been rather than stretch it to three and have Jackson come in and try to make it LOTR again. It could have been so good, but it died on the altar of capital :(

The movies for sure were NOT an improvement without him, don't get me wrong. I dunno. I don't personally LIKE a lot of his stuff. It still would have been better, probably so whatever

The Hobbit would've made a great movie. Make it 3+ hours long if you want, but any more than 1 movie and you're stuck filling the gently caress out of it with the crap we've seen.

Then Strider spoke, "Hush yourselves, we are hunted from every angle, and the 7:15 to Cos Cob is running quite late. We shant likely make it past New Rochelle before dusk, while the riders could take the B line any moment."

I like Sean Astin saying how that as he was the most experienced actor out of the hobbits, he decided that he was going to be the daddy of the group, take charge and look after them. And absolutely no-one else even acknowledging that they were aware that he was doing this.

Lotr has some of the best bad guy lines. The way Wormtongue delivers "Get out of my way" and Denethor does "Flee! Flee for your lives" are amazing and one day I hope to be in a nightclub fire one day so I have an excuse to say those things with the same level of drama.
