Fuck this dude with a 12 ft log. Yeah, it's not a good movie, it's a great fucking movie.

Nah, the entire trilogy is boring AF.

Flat out, no.

I can understand not liking it. But "boring" isn't a good substitute for "it wasn't for me." It condenses a 1,000 page book into 12 (or 6 if you don't have the extended editions) movie/film. And the film is way more solid than the book, IMO.

fuck you too timu

[El Babua]

The movies are great, but never came close to matching what Tolkein-Sama expressed in his work.

[nudemacusers]

The books are great if you collected monster manuals for tabletop role playing games and created a geocities index (in the form of html tables with web ring links at the bottom) for crpgs you played when you were a kid.

[agrajag]

I only really like the first movie a lot. The other ones have decent moments, but a lot of Peter Jackson fuckery. The first one mostly sticks to the script with minimal Peter Jackson fuckery.

[nudemacusers]

Now look at me!

Why did she put a ping pong ball in her vagina???

Apparently it’s a stereotype that Asian women can shoot inserted ping pong balls out of their vaginas? Never heard of it myself.

I vaugely remember coming across it once in some raunchy comedy movie a long time ago.

I haven't read LOTR since I was a teenager and it bored me to death then. I've been really wanting to re-read them to gain a possibly new appreciation.

I don't like the way Tolkien can spend 5 pages explaining with utmost detail the shape and colors of a forest leaves. It was extremely boring to read and dropped it because of that aspect.

Yeah I fucking hated that too. ASOIAF > LOTR imo

But I read the LOTR books as a teen so maybe I just had less patience for it then. So I really wanna give it another shot. The Hobbit is REALLY good though. I have no idea what happened going from Hobbit (a brisk, fun read) to LOTR (the forward of The Princess Bride comes to mind).

I like LOTR but I actually agree, the Hobbit is a book I can pick up and flip through and start reading a random page, and end up engaged and find myself actually reading it.  The other books are real slow.  Fellowship is probably the best one but when you get to Lothlorien your eyes glaze over with the aforementioned leaf descriptions.  Two Towers Frodo and Sam sections are the worst and slowest part of all of them.  Tolkien's like "ok I spent half a book on the decent adventures of these cool people, now I have to give equal time to a couple schlubs walking through grey badlands."

How about you go fuck yourself, comrade?

Well, that's it. We've reached peak irony.

Another one for "worst expression used on GAFERA in 2017" I guess.

CIA should set something up and brief Trump. See if that information is passed on to the Russians.

We live in such a weird time that the Russians are giving orders and ultimatums to the Americans. Truly Putin's lapdog.

State Department should reply: "Let us know when you're going to have one and we'll consider abiding that."

 

If Putin was smart (and he is), he'd manufacture his own "illegitimate" loss and then say it was our IC that caused it.

That's the question. People act like elections aren't a thing in Russia but he is elected and does get the popular vote. Putin is extremely popular so it isn't even really suspicious.

You’re absolutely right. There’s some people disconnected from reality in this thread.

Neogaf was good for games when a lot of insiders would post. Even as recent as a year or two ago you could regularly discuss Titanfall with the Respawn guys. Even they bounced.

There will never be another gaf like place for a very very long time.

You can talk directly with devs on twitter these days. The time of forums is over.

Don't do it, bb.  The books are boring as fuck.  What's great is really great, but in between that is a lot of boring shit and motherfucking Tom Bombadil.  And God, those fucking songs.  THOSE FUCKING SONGS.  The movies are better than the book for LOTR.  The book is better than the movies for The Hobbit.

So many bad opinions in this thread

You would think at a certain point you would have a little self-awareness and realize how often you parrot all the buzzwords, and look for another way to word it just to stop repeating yourself so often and sounding like a moron.

toxic
yikes
disgusting
not a good look
bad faith
disingenuous
cheeseburger shark
whataboutism

Codewords for "You're an asshole and I know more than you"

What's funny is that you think they would know that using such language only makes the opposition dig into their heels. It's not persuasive. It's mostly shaming language, which only engenders a hardening of positions. You would think these idiots would understand basic psychology.

They'll tell you they're not trying to persuade or change anyone though.  Anyone who believes or behaves in a disgusting way isn't worth the time of day, nobody's going to sit down and try to educate a racist.  Or alternatively, everybody else is 4chan trolls who already know better who are just trying to waste their time talking in circles.

[Momo]

I think they do know. this isnt about having a conversation or persuading others, it's always been about making opposition go away/shut up.

[Assimilate]

assimilate you are such a dumb bastard whose alt are you?

LOTR is boring. Just like the Hobbit was complete shit. There's no difference between the two. The reason LOTR didn't cause people to go into comas and come out of the theater yawning is because it was new. Fantasy hadn't been a big hit at the theaters for almost a decade and the LOTR books were so popular that people really wanted them to succeed.

It's like Star Wars. The fanboy hype is too large for it to outright fail. Years later though the LOTR trilogy isn't received as well because they're simply not that good.

[nudemacusers]

Imagine cracking this open after watching the excellent movies, eager to pore over the supposed great source material in the illustrative detail only good writing can provide:

"Well, so they say," said the Gaffer. "You see: Mr. Drogo, he married poor Miss Primula Brandybuck. She was our Mr. Bilbo's first cousin on the mother's side (her mother being the youngest of the Old Took's daughters); and Mr. Drogo was his second cousin. So Mr. Frodo is his first and second cousin, once removed either way, as the saying is, if you follow me. And Mr. Drogo was staying at Brandy Hall with his father-in-law, old Master Gorbadoc, as he often did after his marriage (him being partial to his vittles, and old Gorbadoc keeping a mighty generous table); and he went out boating on the Brandywine River; and he and his wife were drownded, and poor Mr. Frodo only a child and all."

In the beginning Eru, the One, who in the Elvish tongue is named Ilúvatar, made the Ainur of his thought; and they made a great Music before him. In this Music the World was begun; for Ilúvatar made visible the song of the Ainur, and they beheld it as a light in the darkness. And many among them became enamoured of its beauty, and of its history which they saw beginning and unfolding as in a vision. Therefore Ilúvatar gave to their vision Being, and set it amid the Void, and the Secret Fire was sent to burn at the heart of the World; and it was called Eä.

Then those of the Ainur who desired it arose and entered into the World at the beginning of Time; and it was their task to achieve it, and by their labours to fulfil the vision which they had seen. Long they laboured in the regions of Eä, which are vast beyond the thought of Elves and Men, until in the time appointed was made Arda, the Kingdom of Earth. Then they put on the raiment of Earth and descended into it, and dwelt therein.

The real reason they cut out Tom Bombadil was the part where he tells all the hobbits to run around outside in the nude for a while and then they do it for some reason.
