Yeah, I heard they were re-releasing all the LOTR movies, but I didn't hear they were extended! Maybe i'll go see them all in the same day for my birthday!:fuzgrin: Fantastic!

oddguy 08-24-2003 03:00 PM

I do imagine that butts are going to be very sore!

GrigtheSlig 08-24-2003 03:09 PM

December 17, my friend.:fuzwink:

Quote thread had me thinking......what's your favorite quote from the Lord of the Rings movies you've seen so far?

FOTR: Aragorn: I swore to protect you.

Frodo: Can you protect me from yourself?

TTT: This is what Gandalf says when they try to take his staff before entering to see Wormtongue.

Gandlaf: Would you part an old man from his walking stick?

Gandalf is a clever one!:D

Silversnow 08-25-2003 05:40 PM

I think the first two movies were great, my favorite characters must be Gollum, Gimli and Treebeard. I've seen pictures from the battles in ROTK, and it looks fabulous... But I don't like that Sauron is going to fight in physical form, I thought it was impossible for him to get a physical form...?
And I was so diappointed the giant spider wasn't in the end of the two towers, now I'll have to wait until december to see her!!

MasterChief 08-25-2003 06:41 PM

well i love the fotr and ttt but i havent read the books yet, my dad is in love w/ em tho and he said the hobbit was the best, but ne way i havent heard much about the giant spider, but it sounds really cool, so if u guys got ne battle pics or ne thing else from RotK, plz post em :D

The Hobbit wasn't the best! They are all good, but my favorite book was TTT or ROTK. The Hobbit was really good though.

I can understand why they didn't have it in TTT. The Helm's Deep battle was only 1 chapter, and in the movie they had to streach it out so that it didn't look like a really small fight. I can't wait to see Shelob! And the part where Gandalf takes Saruman's staff! :fuzgrin: Tomorrow TTT comesout in America, so i'm exited! :fuzgrin:

Facsimile 08-26-2003 02:34 AM

I will hold my mouth shut about somebody that has just returned as I don't want to destroy this thread.

I read in the TV guide that Peter Jackson said that ROTK was going to have the biggest battle in the history of movies.

GrigtheSlig 08-26-2003 12:55 PM

IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIES! How can they do that? It's gonna be the wierdest thing to watch on the BIG screen! Has anyone purchased TTT yet? I wanna buy it so bad, but I don't have enough money! :crying:

P.S. Thanx for not distroying my thread, but now you have made me really curious about who you are talking about. Look what you've done!:fuzconf: :confused: Who are you talking about?

spike 247 08-26-2003 01:12 PM

I read all of the books ages ago, I had the all in one aswell. if i am right (so im wrong) there was a spider thingy in the two towers, but they cutit out of the film because half on return of the king is walking back to the shire.
TFOTR was awsome
TT was even better, what with that huge battle and the fact that you didn't spend half of the movie going through the plot and story like TFOTR. In TT you go straight into it...

Lord of the rings is a really good film. But does snybody know if they shall be maikng The Hobbit into a film?

Spike...

If you would have read the whole thread, you would have realized that the answers to most of your Q's are up there! No they didn't cut Shelob out completly, their gonna pu it in the next film! I was thinking about that, what if they did make The Hobbit into a movie! I mean, the guy they used for Bilbo could still play Bilbo, because he's supposed to be 50 when his adventures start! Gandalf could also be played by the same character, and then they'd have to find a bunch of people to play all the dwarves! I wonder if they'll do that?:fuzconf:

no, it isn't impossible. He has to gain more strength to regain physical form. If he gets the ring back, basically he can regian physical form and that's it......total chaos. If he does regian physical form in the movie, yeah, it won't be true to the book, but I'd like to see it anway (the visual will be awesome)

RotK is going to have major battle scenes. I really can't wait till December.

GrigtheSlig 08-26-2003 10:52 PM

EDIT: Spoiler! Sorry if you saw this!
Don't go down there if you haven't read the book!









In the book, I think it said that Sauron had a body right before Gollum fell in with the ring, right? I might be wrong though. I watched part of TTT at a friends house, and it's so good! I love it so much!

Facsimile 08-28-2003 03:25 AM

Edit your post to warn of spoilers, Grig. Unfortunately, someone else has already ruined that part for me.

And don't worry about what I said. If he acts like he used to, trust me, you will learn who it is.

GrigtheSlig 08-28-2003 03:38 AM

I hope nobody saw what I wrote! I'm sorry if I ruened it for anyone!
Ok,now I at least know it's a male! Ha! Is it MasterChief? Just a guess? Hey Facsimile, we used to fight all of the time, and we don't really fight anymore. So are we friends?

Facsimile 08-28-2003 03:59 AM

You and I debated. There was no harm done.

GrigtheSlig 08-28-2003 04:03 AM

OK, Friends then! I like having friends! Anyway, did you know that the LOTR is the second most book in the world! Wow!

oddguy 08-28-2003 04:05 AM

Second most read book in the world.....the Bible being the first. Amazing.


-oddguy:fuzcool:

GrigtheSlig 08-28-2003 02:56 PM

Yep, i'm glad that i'm not the only person in the world that knows that!

oddguy 08-30-2003 07:38 AM

GrigtheSlig 08-30-2003 12:55 PM

Nice pics! I recognise all of those from the book, so I guess they're hitting it closer to the book this time!

oddguy 08-30-2003 10:18 PM

I'm bored, so here I go. Here's a LOTR joke I made up:

What do you call a female dear with affro?

Fro-doe! Frodo! Hahahahahahaha!:lol:

Okay, I'm done. Go back to your lives.

Wait....I promised more photos. Here they are!:D

I love lord of the rings the only thing i was really diapointed about the ents they are described cooler looking in the book.

My preciousss. Gollum rocks

oddguy 08-30-2003 10:42 PM

I love Gollum! Actually, I like Smeagol......Gollum is evil. Gollum/Smeagol was portrayed perfectly in TTT, which I now own on dvd! I'm so happy!:fuzgrin:

I hate it when that (almost always) happens. Lets hope they show the current films back to back when ROTK hits Aussie shores :fuzsmile:

fleech 08-31-2003 03:57 AM

i bought the dvd the other day but picked up the full screen instead of the wide screen version - no big deal - i plan on getting the extended version when it comes out in november - so far i'm very pleased with the film adaptation of such a huge story - i re-read it a few months ago and was surprised at how much i'd forgotten or maybe just didn't understand when i read it the first time ( about 30 years ago ) - from what i hear the final installment will be amazing - and yes i'm sure there will be all-day back to back screenings after return of the king hits theatres this winter

Disgruntled Intern 08-31-2003 04:04 AM

I am quite looking forward to seeing Shelob, in Return of the King.

GrigtheSlig 08-31-2003 04:21 AM

I want to see how Shelob acyually looks! That will be so exiting! I can't wait to see ROTK! There's so much that i'm looking forward to! I'm gonna go watch the 19 min preview of it! :fuzgrin:

Oddfan 08-31-2003 11:27 AM

I own it on dvd and i plan on getting the extended version when it comes out. the whole gollum/smeagol thing is weird he's like a skitso in a way, gollum is him after the ring and smeagol is what he was like before the ring.
he still rocks though.

Disgruntled Intern 08-31-2003 02:05 PM

Shelob is being based on the new zealand native Black Tunnelweb spider.

GrigtheSlig 08-31-2003 05:49 PM

Really! Could you show a pic of one of those?

Fez 08-31-2003 05:49 PM

i never really like LOTR, but when i saw the two towers the other day, i cant wait fot the nest one. Coming out sometime in December right!?

GrigtheSlig 08-31-2003 06:00 PM

Yeah, that's cool that you like it now! Have you seen the first one? You should really read the books too! They are great! The third movie is coming out Dec, 17th i think!

Fez 08-31-2003 06:26 PM

i saw the first one, i didnt like it which was what put me off the series.

oddguy 08-31-2003 06:40 PM

I love both of the movies!:fuzgrin: I just watched something on TTT dvd, and Elijah Wood said that ROTK is better than the first two combined!:eek: I can't wait to see it!

-oddguy:fuzcool:

GrigtheSlig 08-31-2003 09:55 PM

I really hope that ROTK wins best Motion Picture! All the other ones were nominated, but didn't win. I want ROTK to win this one! I'd be so proud!:fuzgrin:

oddguy 09-01-2003 01:44 AM

The academy seems to always have their noses in the air and pick artsy films. I really want ROTK to win, but the Academy is a kinda unfair when it comes to giving awards to really good movies. This is funny, I haven't seen ROTK yet and I allready want it to win awards!:


-oddguy:fuzcool:

Facsimile 09-01-2003 02:35 AM

Wow. We have native spiders?
