Return of the King Predictions - Page 4

***Valandil*** · 10-10-2003, 11:21 AM

Er... doesn't Lobelia Sackville-Baggins show up at the end of the book?

Maybe they could even manufacture something: Liv Tyler returns as Arwen, who comes back from Lorien to briefly visit her daddy in Imladris, just before Gandalf, Bilbo and Thorin & Co. arrive... but then she gets stuck babysitting 10-year-old Aragorn...

Cirdan · 10-10-2003, 11:33 AM

LOL! *remembers having a crush on the babysitter*

Lovely!

I predict this - come February 2004 - a mob of mooters will storm Jackson's home - led by the JerseyDevil and make Jackson write for every dollar the movie grosses....

"I will never again take a great novel and make a mockery of it by creating a dumbed down, hollywoodized action movie just to make a quick buck!"

"I will never again take a great novel and make a mockery of it by creating a dumbed down, hollywoodized action movie just to make a quick buck!"

"I will never again take a great novel and make a mockery of it by creating a dumbed down, hollywoodized action movie just to make a quick buck!"

"I will never again take a great novel and make a mockery of it by creating a dumbed down, hollywoodized action movie just to make a quick buck!"

ad nauseum (like the movie

)....

So who is with me?

Or - we could make him write out The Lord of the Rings novel by hand 20 times so he finally understands what being a TRUE fan of the books is REALLY like - not the psuedo fan he is.

BTW - who thinks that while Jackson writes all this he should wear the Arwen costume?

Makes a rather disgusting picture actually - but no worse than seeing Liv Tyler trying to play Arwen

or having to get through the butchered Flight to the Ford Scene

.

Elf Girl · 10-20-2003, 04:06 PM

Hmm... I'd go with all of them. Have him start with the LotR copying, so he understands what he's done by, I quote, 'taking a great novel and making a mockery of it by creating a dumbed down, hollywoodized action movie just to make a quick buck!'.

I'm with you, of course.

I like your idea. We'll have him write the book out 20 times - that way he KNOWS why the NOVEL is so great.

Then we'll have him write out the "I will never again take a great novel and make a mockery of it by creating a dumbed down, hollywoodized action movie just to make a quick buck!"

Make it sink in really well.

"Novel"?! Romantic Masterpiece, if you please!

Oh yeah, do I get to emblazon that on the side of his house with fluorescent pink spray paint? "I (Peter Jackson) will never again take a great novel and make a mockery of it by creating a dumbed down, hollywoodized action movie just to make a quick buck!"

You can be in charge of the pink spray paint sheeana.

Does anyone want to be in charge of giving him the forty lashes as he writes his punishment out?

Ooh, I like that idea

Yes, make him write the book first, he'll understand the magnitude of his sin.

Does the costume include wig and elven ears? *shudders at the thought*
I think he'll get the point

That is just WAAAY too funny, Valandil!

Cirdan · 10-20-2003, 11:38 PM

Can we dress Phillipa Boyens as a dwarf woman and then toss her?

Ugh. 'Dwarf woman' and 'tossing' just shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. ::sick::

I nominate Wayfarer...

That would be fair - you can be in charge of Phillipa Boyens.

She must realize that the dwarf tossing jokes were lame and had NO PLACE in a TRUE Lord of the Rings movie.

I was thinking of Wayfarer too. I'm waiting for him to come on - I know he'll have some suggestions.

So far we have....

JerseyDevil
Elf Girl
Sheeana
Elvengirl
Cirdan

I'm sure we'll get Khamul and Wayfarer too. But we'll see who else joins our expedition.

Elvengirl · 10-21-2003, 12:00 AM

We should make him personally act out every scene correctly that he had altered and then I say we throw him of the cliff like he did to Aragorn............does this sound too violent?

hectorberlioz · 10-21-2003, 12:15 AM

Lol. I agree there. Pushing aragorn off the cliff wasnt nice...after all "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" right?

cassiopeia · 10-21-2003, 12:18 AM

*waves hand* I'll join.

(Yes, I do like the movies, but some parts really annoy me.)
