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:

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!

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!:

Wow. We have native spiders?

oddguy 09-01-2003 03:15 AM

Apparently you do.:fuzwink:

-oddguy:fuzcool:

fleech 09-01-2003 03:42 AM

according to steve irwin there are some pretty nasty little spiders down under; and they can be very naughty if you make 'em grumpy! . . .

GrigtheSlig 09-01-2003 04:39 AM

Sounds good to me! Shelob will be so cool looking! I want it to come out now! DARNIT!

:eek: that thing is big and i have a feeling shelob will be too!

oddguy 09-01-2003 04:37 PM

I am looking forward to see Shelob in action! I'm sure she doesn't look exactly like the black tunnelweb. Weta probably made it look scarier!:eek:

That's in Aussie. They do have some harsh ones.
The reason I was surprised about the spider is we don't really have any dangerous animals here.
