After having posted so much last year about how incredibly keen Fellowship of the Ring was, fairness requires I provide a link to 50 Reasons Lord of the Rings Sucks.
1. Fellowship of the Rings was shoved down our throats: I’ve heard some students are even forced to read some novelization of the movie in their literature classes. Ridiculous. Does Hollywood run our classrooms now?
2. Greed: Hollywood can’t make a movie these days without crapping out a sequel the next year to squeeze more money out of the sheep. Guess what; there’s ANOTHER LOTR movie coming this Christmas. Gee, I wonder what will bring Rocky out of retirement this time?
27. Homage or theft?: The “happy village of little people” idea was stolen from Willow.
47. Casting, III: Why couldn’t Bilbo have been played by Vin Diesel?
(via, indirectly, Randy)
How dare they rip off Willow! That movie was an untouchable masterpiece. (Well — it was untouchable, anyway.)
Hey! I liked that movie. Even if it was a bit … derivative at times.
“Angry dwarf character based on Al Pacino”! Pretty damned funny.
Willow? I liked Madmartigan. That was about it.
Via some other Randy? It’s new to me.
It’s off the pointlesswasteoftime.com page that you forwarded an URL for. Hence, “indirectly.”
I’m not familiar with Pointless Wastes of Time? Are they a satire site or something? I probably should know that before I make an idiot of myself pointing out that the person who wrote that obviously doesn’t know the movie comes from books written years ago. 🙂
Probably, yes. 🙂
It does indeed appear to be a humor/satire site (the “movie review” of The Two Towers, for example, is clearly satirical in intent, if kind of dull in execution).
the willow sucks.lotr rocks!!!!!!!! people who hate the movie are idiots and drug addicts.
