Bronze Fonz posted: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. There's too much poo poo going on in the Hobbit to be 1 movie without either dropping a bunch of the good poo poo that the Hobbit is known for or compressing it so much that it'd wind up feeling rushed. But the temptation to turn 2 movies into a trilogy is too great obviously, so that shouldn't have been attempted either It would have made a good TV miniseries, maybe topping out at 6 episodes. It could literally just follow what happens in the book, spending an hour dealing with each major segment of the story and letting you get to know a few of the characters. Don't go nuts with the CGI budget like the Hobbit movies did, these things don't need to be blowing minds they're just a fun children's story

How do you visually differentiate between the dwarves without making some poo poo up? Except for Bombur. That fat sack of crap. The book is really hard on Bombur.

Balin is the "older brother". Dwalin is the bad boy. Nori is the heartthrob. Ori is the shy one. Gloin is the brooding one. Bofur is the quirky one. Bifur is the "crazy" one. Oin is the mysterious one. And Bombur is the fat one.

I think it's indictive that Dwarf society was so hosed up that Bombur was so drat fat but also so rich he had an army of dwarves wiping his rear end until his death

Loved the movies but they could've taken the Aragorn romance crap to save time for the scouring of the shire which is the best part of the books

They made the right choice. The netflix version has no excuse however and should do it.

Remember in the Hobbit when the sand worms from Dune shows up from under the mountains? Like, do they think mountains just kinda sit on the ground like big rocks that you can easily dig under? They could have just tunneled right into the city or whatever they were doing there.

I didn't remember Nydus Canals being in the book but I read it a long time ago, were they in the book or were they just added for the movie?

I just saw that the extended edition of The Return of the King is 4 and a half hours, that is just absurdly long. Does it have even more endings or something?

No but they don't have the receipt for him and so TWO managers get involved on if they'll actually take him back or not.

The Return of the King extended extras are an additional 90 minutes of Pippin singing. And it's worth it. Also the Rohan charge is done in strobe slowmo

I don't want to make a new thread every time I watch something I liked but the Shining sequel Doctor Sleep is not bad. It's not anywhere near the Kubrick one but well worth your two hours I think.

Dwarf women in their mature form, exist in a shape we would call 'giant pupae'. Making them difficult to transport and fairly useless on traditional questing adventures, but well suited to burrowing and rooting about in their mountain homes. Male dwarves, returning home, are often lovestruck by their excessive pheromone secretions, which smell of sand and gold, as well as their love songs, reminiscent of 'moaning and high pitched flatulence' per Nettothaddus The Wise

I think it was also the premiere of two towers extended edition. We saw it in a theater with beer, and smoked a j in the parking lot between movies, and it was incredible. I don’t think I have made it through an extended edition in one sitting since.
