Well, Class or wha?

Class, I thought, Gollum was cool, and the big scrap at Helms Deep was pulling no punches
Well?

 

[george mcfly]

does it get to shelobs lair, or does it end before?

thats my favourite bit it the book

sorry im such a nerd....

 

[ronan yakuza]

It's OK, I'm a nerd too

Nah, it ends just before they head up the steps after they meet Faramir

 

[Morn]

Off t'see it tonight! Shouldbegood shouldbegood shouldbegood!

Sorry just a little short on sleep...

 

[Wilbert]

Really enjoyed it. Not as good as the first one. Gollum is amazingly well done. The whole talking tree thing was a bit of a waste of time but it was obviously in the book so they had to include it and it was well done.

I'd say its a Great Movie, seeing it soon.

Still, It'll be No Willow though.

Has anyone made a dwarf-only movie?

If not, why not?

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the closest I've ever scene. But dis is the Age of Computers. They have 'Digital Dwarfs' now, they don't need the real ones anymore. Apparently, the dwarf actors unions went mad when they found out Lord of the Rings would not be using any dwarves for hobbits, or eh ..dwarves.


So what we're probably gonna get now is the dwarf actors stooping really low for jobs and applying to the circus, or else to 'Dwarf Porn', which is an idea which will always makes me laugh milk thru my nose...

Dwarven Hoofs

A digital dwarf? Is that not just someone with stubby fingers?

Speaking of the gravitationally gifted, there was a story in some newspaper recently about a French dwarf who was challenging the legality of his country's ban on dwarf-throwing. It turned out he was a film stuntman and that the ban had severely limited his career opportunities.

Just as well car crashes and runaway trains aren't banned in France or he'd get no work at all.

Finally, I've just noticed that the PC usage "vertically challenged" implies some kind of struggle, which in turn implies that the short person in question might at some stage triumph in his struggle and thereby become a tall person. Thus, to say that someone is "vertically challenged" is highly patronising - a bit like calling a gay person sick, a historian old-fashioned or a liar stupid.

What about the term 'invalids' for people who are missing limbs? Isn't that kinda wrong too. I mean look at the word it's 'in' 'valid'. As in:"your credit is invalid here sir, you cannot purchase these items".
Can you imagine a barman, "sorry sir, it appears that you are invalid as a human. Only valid humans can drink here".

Ooooh so clever you are. Ask yourself that question in a couple of weeks when you can't afford to drink.

You've plenty of time now to root through the archives don't you?












You brought it on yourself boyo

 

[the66electric]

Fucking great. Saw the first one many times and am quite attached to it so it may take a few viewings to welcome TT to my bosom but with Gollum and Helms Deep inducing jaw-carpet interface, i was in Nirvana.

Get me a towel...

The bit when the orcs broke into Helm's Deep using mines - best movie explosion ever...?

"Willow" was very close to an all dwarf film, but an observation about Lord of the Rings......

It seems you can toss a dwarf!

 

[Anne OMalley]

Don't read this if you haven't seen the film

Eh? It wasn't made in France.

What about the various moderthn-day-life referdnces in the film? E.g. reference to Hobbits enjoying fish and chips? Or the skateboarding? Or the orcs with cockney accents?

What about those aryan elves? Are we sick of their camp ways and Enya-esque halos?

Is Gimli too much of a joke?

Aren't the scenes with horses nearly erotic?
