What do ya think bout this? - Page 2

Dunadan · 12-23-2002, 10:39 AM

Well I laughed. Mostly nonsense, of course, but there are some points:

Quote:

Or even better, why didn't Gandalf's giant flying bird friend haul them into Mordor?

Often wondered that myself.

Quote:

The mutated muscular soldiers of Mordor turned out to be hilariously ineffective soldiers, a dozen of them held off by a single dying human.

Now, now. You can't blame LOTR for all fantasy and sci-fi movies ever made. Besides, nothing could ever rival the final episode of Blake's 7, where the Federation troops suddenly learn to shoot straight after 3 series of being unable to hit a barn door with a banjo. Or Star Wars, where there is invariably a Secret Weakness chamber containing the means to cause the entire Evil and Ugly Empire to explode with a tremendous noise.

Otherwise, this person needs to get a life. Ha ha, he got spammed with thousands of irate emails. Who's laughing now?Some great flames on that bulletin board he links to though.

cheers

COZ ITS BOROMIR!!!!!

i took it as a light hearted joke but that is to far

WallRocker · 12-23-2002, 02:21 PM

I guess everyone's entitlted to their own opinon, that's why we're all posting here

This guy obviously has no idea what's he's talking about. The "Goblin" idea being stolen from Warcraft?

Tolkiens books were written well before Warcraft came out. Boy, even though these people shouldn't make me mad, they still do.

Merlin · 12-23-2002, 10:00 PM

My gosh what was this guy thinking when he wrote that? I think his statement about Arwen having powers, and women should not be heroes,or whatever he was trying to get across, was horrid. I can tell a few things about this "person", already. He has no imagination whatsoever, he has never in his life read any of the books (I don't even think he knows that the movie was originated from a book that a man wrote before Willow , computer games and all the other charges he threw against New Line.) And he probably was not a very agreeable person in his youth. Oh, and Boromir and Aragorn are two different characters, Mr. It takes a sharp eye to see it but you'll notice one has red hair and the other has brown. He needs to hobble over to his computer and put it up his ***.

BeardofPants · 12-23-2002, 11:31 PM

You know, I think he was joking.

Merlin · 12-24-2002, 11:38 AM

And he may not have been. So there it lies.

Not quite sure if that means I am, or am not,
from Iceland

Elf.Freak · 01-02-2003, 01:51 PM

ok, i hated all of it, but i hated these the most:

Liv Tyler's character is seen easily defeating nine strong supernatural beings, even though she is clearly a woman.

~sexist or WHAT?!~

The character of Gollum in The Two Towers will be entirely computer animated, in a cheap effort to cash in on Jar Jar Binks Mania. Thank you, Peter Jackson. Thank you right to Hell.

~Gollum was BRILLIENT, much better that Jar Jar~

The Elves, clearly the most advanced and wise species, are also clearly gay.

~don't THINK so~

i hate that stuff!

Blackboar · 01-02-2003, 02:06 PM

Me too

Why does he think elves are gay anyway?

Yazad · 01-02-2003, 02:33 PM

Hee hee,

I can only assume that most of the people responding so vehemently to the very humorous list are also joking?

Iron McFist · 01-02-2003, 03:06 PM

Come on, people, this is clearly a joke and it's FUNNY AS HELL!

Shadowfax · 01-02-2003, 07:25 PM

Quite funny, once you get past the fact that this guy is so ignorant to have not read the book

yeah where did he get that idea from preciousss haldir haldir

LuthienTinuviel · 01-02-2003, 09:22 PM

haha that site is great!
oh wow. hold on, lemme clean up the tears.
Finders, keepers.

"So Bilbo, who we are supposed to identify with as a protagonist, finds a piece of someone else's jewelry and just keeps it for himself? That's funny, because I would expect a good man to submit it to the local Lost and Found so it could be claimed by its owner. It makes me wonder if he bought that hillside house or if he was just squatting.

Go-Go Gadget Arrow Sprouter.

Legolas shoots arrow after arrow at his enemies, and yet the number of arrows in his quiver never decreases. I guess elves have glands on their back that secrete arrows.

Watch out! He's going to explode!

The heroes are shown eating again and again, and yet no one ever goes to the bathroom throughout their entire quest. "

those are my favourite three.

ha! glands that secrete arrows !

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-03-2003, 03:01 AM

Yes, I've browsed the forums there a bit, and it was intended as a joke; the people there do claim to despise LotR (as a whole), but their reasons were a joke.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-03-2003, 03:03 AM

And about Gwaihir and horses: their plan was to quietly sneak in. Kind of hard to do on galloping steeds, or a humongous eagle...

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-03-2003, 03:05 AM

Sorry, but I just had to post this.

Upon digging through their topics, it turns out that they (almost) all actually loved it! I can't put a link to the topic (language), but it's on the third page in the movies and books board on their forums, entitled Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers.

Enjoy.

He probably DID read the books, which is how he contradicted quite a bit of it.

Elf.Freak · 01-16-2003, 03:00 PM

i still find that site like poision in my throat...

samwise of the shire · 01-16-2003, 03:41 PM

Oh boy...that guy needs some SERIOUS professional help in the form of a cast iron pot across the head. That was slaughter...Slander...he should be shot by one of those un modern elves

I'm not gonna waste any more breath...he was born a jerk...he'll die a jerk and only his unbiased dogma will mourn him.
Cheers,
