Local theater is showing the extended editions for the next three weeks. Went and saw Fellowship on Sunday...twas glorious. Can't wait for Two Towers this Sunday, it's by far my favorite of the trilogy and the best extended edition of the three as well.
Son just finished reading the series. We watched Fellowship two weeks ago, Two Towers last week, and will watch ROTK on Saturday. It’s so great getting to see him experience this the first time. he got mad about no Bombadil (I didn’t prep him for any changes)
Dude. Could you imagine growing up with a dunedain as your father? F’n Strider see’s one bent blade of grass and perfectly comprehends every second of a battle that happened yesterday.
So obviously there was the “fighting” Uruk-hai, but we’re there other Uruks? Like, Saruman gets hungry, does he have “cooking” Uruk-hai? He runs into some middle Earth tax issues, does he have “accounting” Uruk-hai? These questions keep me up at night.
Gandalf the Grey, fought the Balrog of Moria and was reborn the White (no racist) to attain that title from Saruman. The original OP. Then how does he seal that deal? Whistles and here comes Shadowfax, Lord of all horses. What a Fucking flex.
One received his hereditary sword from the Elvish forges of lord Elrond, the blade forged from the shards of Nasri, the blade that was shattered but cut the finger of Sauron. The blade that rallied the Men of the Mountain, that won the battle of Minas Tirith, that rallied the people’s of Middle Earth. The other, pulled a knife out of a dirt patch because some drunk chick in a pond said it’d be cool.
Was really bored at the start of quarantine I watched a bunch of bad movies I hadn't seen in a long time. There were some bad movies in there like Batman v. Superman and Justice League. Battle of the Five Armies was by the far the worst of anything I watched. What a terrible a movie.
Kind of bitched out and got pissed that Elrond saves Helm’s Deep, but bring that elvin bitch on my fam...
TMB, why is it that this thread can lie dormant for months, but suddenly find life when I am blitzed on Tequila? Huh? Tell me why , TMB.
Lol. Elrond’s elves could legit shoot arrows like an AR-15 per Elf. Instead they send the Elven black ops to HD to fight off Saruman. Just keep it to the kids/geriatrics of the novels.
I was hoping this got bumped because of some news about the amazon show. I hope we still get it on time next year.
I’m doing my best, because of our shared Husk heritage, to make things as amicable between a RSLer and a SuKCer as I can. In this spirit of missed MLS cameraderie I have now switched to Wild Turkey Rare Breed. We should now be good.
Now I know where dirt spends his drunken evenings if it’s not in the Marvel thread. Also, sign me up for a full 24 hours of Colbert doing a dirtball-meets-Drunk History retelling of LOTR lore.
