Eets Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 I've not read them, but apparently the first one starts off verrry slow and boring...
Sherack Nhar Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Tolkien includes plenty of descriptions in his books. You have to be able to handle that. It's not like a Star Wars novel where the action sometimes picks up right from the start. The first few chapters or LOTR are solely describing Hobbits and their way of life. Tolkien really wanted us to understand how unlikely they were as a race to save Middle Earth. Although some people find it slow, it really is crucial to the story. I'm glad the extended cut of the movie restores the description of the Hobbits at the beginning. It's much more fitting and true to the book.
darthfergie Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Originally posted by Tie Guy I have, but they were so boring i quit after about half of the first book. I just couldn't take any more bordem. And i normally love to read. Awwww. You didn't even get to any of the really kewl parts!
Jatt13 Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 ok, this is sorta a spoiler, but not a big one so iw on't bother to use spoiler tags. I think they should make Sam bigger. After all doesn't he have his big scene at the end of this movie? they moved the fight with shelob to the RotK.
Young David Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 Originally posted by Jatt13 ok, this is sorta a spoiler, but not a big one so iw on't bother to use spoiler tags. Sam is not supposed to be big. He's Frodo's handmaiden () troughout the trilogy and will star in RotK ... but not before that.
ckcsaber Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 Originally posted by Jatt13 they moved the fight with shelob to the RotK. Hmmm. Well I guess his part in the poster is fine...........for now. In RoTK I expect a big ass picture of Sam:D

Silenthunter Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 Yay! I was right! Here is the (really) final version of TTT theatrical poster!
Taos Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 I think I like that poster better then the one Rhett showed us......this one looks different. The other one looks a little too much like a SW poster....IMO anyways. Hell, they're both good and the movie will be awesome!!
Sherack Nhar Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 Much better. Although maybe Saruman is given a bit too much importance (it's only a half of the book after all), it's still much more fitting.
darthfergie Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 hmmm...The one up at the movie theatre was the first one. They don't have that one...maybe they'll replace it...but I doubt it...they have a monopoly over our city because their only competition died out a year or so ago...
Boba Rhett Posted December 2, 2002 Author Posted December 2, 2002 Sweet! Thanks for the link. Gimli is so cool. Less than three weeks now.... I can barely contain myself!
Darth Homer Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 ok, let's take stock here...over 30 posts and 200 views (I'll give you benefit of the doubt and say over 150 when you looked) in this thread and you ask "Who cares?", Ackbar? Are you trying to incite a flame war? It occurs to me that there are at least 15 different people here who DO care. I don't mean to be harsh, here, but it occurs to me that almost everything you post is "I think this is stupid" or "Who would waste their time with that?"...you wouldn't happen to be Trolling, would you? I'm surprised you gone this long without getting seriously talked to at the least. At other forums I know, you'd be banned by now. One more time, I'm gonna tell you this, Ackbar...If you don't like a thread, don't post in it. It's a simple concept and it's the last time I'll tell you it. I admit that I'm not terribly excited about a poster. I'm gonna go see the movie, but rarely do I care what the latest poster is. Yet, I haven't posted here until now...wonder why...
Boba Rhett Posted December 2, 2002 Author Posted December 2, 2002 ^^ What Homer said. ^^ What do you mean that there's been millions of these?
Tyrion Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 Originally posted by NL_Ackbar WOW Rhett A poster! who cares? This is coming from the guy who copy and pastes other stuff and tries to get the credit for himself? Anyways..the first poster wasnt right,but the third post was really great,shows that a evil power is menacing..

Boba Rhett Posted December 2, 2002 Author Posted December 2, 2002 Cut out the insults, Ackbar. When you copy info from a site it's best that you put a link to the site at the bottom. Nobody has shown a poster in an effort to try and get people to think that they were the artist.

Tie Guy Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 Originally posted by NL_Ackbar i understand what you mean but what does it matter? Tell that to a college professor. Anyways, just to attempt to stay a little on topic, i hate the new poster, and i like the first two better. I mean, what the heck is wrong with the guy's hair? Its just ugly. It would have been cooler if it had shown his face or something, but that just looks awful. OH, and BTW, i knew the good parts were coming, but i got to the point where i didn't think i could read another page of any it, so I quit and went back to SW books.
Silenthunter Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 All right, one more thing. A review! It's from Lights Out Entertainment. http://www.lightsoutentertainment.com/movies/reviews.php?filmID=2&reviewID=31
Young David Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Yeah, I read that one yesterday ... It's soaked with spoilers ... some I don't like. The movie stop earlier than the book stops. Some great chapters like The voice of Saruman, The Palantír and Shelobs Lair are missing. Frodo does some freaky things in Gondor and Aragorn rides a warg almost to his death ... The changed too much, it's not superman you know.
Boba Rhett Posted December 3, 2002 Author Posted December 3, 2002 Bah. TTT is going to kick ass and take names.
