    If he died once, at the start of the first one, and it all ended there, I'd find it all a little more bearable.:D

    It wasn't until I was watching the series for the 100th time this weekend that it dawned on me just how many times Peregrin Took almost got everyone killed. He was a clumsy little hobbit he was.

    But, according to wiki, he was also the youngest. So to me that would explain everything. The movie makes it out to look as though he is just stupid by nature. I didn't read the books as one might be able to tell.

    Awesome. You definitely should read the books. Takes some time, but explain so much more than the movies.

    You'd love the book! So great. It is long, but flows so well. I can't imagine anyone who read it not loving the movies. Peter Jackson and everyone involved did a great job. Most everything was very close to how I imagined it when reading. That can't be said for most. :)

    i'm a regular sisyphus but with a pile of books instead of a rock :o lol i can't go into a bookstore, especially a used one, and not walk out with *something*, especially if i find a great bargain...i need to give it a home. what i need is to get another bookcase :o lol i need to sell/donate some books sometime to make room, it pains me to part with them though!

    that said, i'll have to borrow my sis' copies of the books to read :)

    I seriously loved the movies. Loved, loved, loved, loved, LOVED.
    Did you get that? I loved them ;)

    Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me, Gandalf.

    Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

    I like the books more than the movies, but the books got way too in detail about absolutely nothing while the movies didn't, no happy medium, haha.

    "Climbing Mordor, Frodo ran his hands through his hair. A single hair fell to the ground. Now, this had been one of those pesky hairs that he missed every cut, and it hadn't been cut since the first day of his harvest of cabbage back at the Shire. What a glorious day. There were these annoying birds chirping that day. Frodo remembered not being able to sleep. He remembered this dream where [insert two pages about a worthless dream that has nothing to do with the story]' Seriously, comon! :D

    The thing with books like LOTRs and Harry Potter and fantasies in general is that anything can happen. You're wondering things like 'lets see, who could possibly be the bad guy doing this?' Then suddenly the author just creates a new mystery character, haha.

    Anyone who hates the LOTR trilogy has got some serious issues. It's fantastic acting, fantastic filming, fantastic music, fantastic story. I mean seriously, if someone hates these movies and thinks they are boring...tell them they are idiots!

    I agree with what you said about the filming, music, and story. But they're still boring, I thought the acting sucked.

    Most of the acting sucked in that too. But at least it was only half as long. Mcnulty from the wire was terrible in it. The Action was good though.

    umm how many awards were won for acting? Let me see . . . . NONE.

    Like I said, the visuals, story, sets and all that shit was great. :)

    Heh, How could you not like Gimli? And Legolas? Fucking awesome

    And Gimli was played by that one guy in the Indiana Jones trilogy, Indies friend that would always help him out, he wore that silly hat

    Anyone who says that the acting in LOTR sucks needs to watch Sir Ian McKellen more closely. That man is one of the finest actors on the planet and Gandalf is one of his best characters!

    frodo is like luke skywalker... never the most interesting character in the trilogy. and let's face it whenever strider came on the scene who cared for the hobbits(or anyone else for that matter) anyway. :D
