I still wanna see Meet the Feebles, that film looks... strange.

and in a thread about Peter Jackson getting too much recognition for LotR compared to his earlier works, a debate exploding about LotR on the thread speaks in numbers, i could care less.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is the most over rated series of movies in the history of movies. They are average movies. End of story. If you disagree, you have blinders on.

Okay, my bad, semantic.

Also, I say easier to read books are better because I don't have to work to convey the meaning. There's a difference--classical music is just there. Reading books takes effort. If it takes too much effort to convey a meaning, why would you read it in the first place? Is it REALLY worth the time? To me, no.

Bill--shut up. No one wants to hear your opinion, as only 1 to 2 people agree with it. Especially since you can't seem to stop spouting it all over the place. Nobody cares. We like the LotR movies. Just because your 'artistic student' license says we shouldn't, doesn't mean we don't.

NONSENSE. Tolkien's work may be a rich and glorious melange of a mural of a montage of a mandala of a masterpeice of an epic and far above all other literature anywhere ever (except the Bible ) but its BEST PART is it is so dang easy to read. Thats why we all read it as young KIDS, when Dostoevsky or Henry V was still a bit too out there.

If anyone thinks its boring, well, thats a pity and their loss. But also their opinion, one thing you can never help is if you like something, you just do or you don't.

Personally I enjoyed 'the Frighteners' but it was far too formulaic to be anything great. (imho)

One thing I remember about PJ, after he made some early gross-out stuff, back in the mid-80's, I saw an interview with him and they asked him his influences. "Star Wars and Time Bandits" he replied, my most-seen movies. "Must keep an eye on this guy" I thought, and promptly forgot about him til LotR.

He's good, but all he did was put the most popular story in the English language on film. Who couldn't make a success out of that? Lets not get carried away.

You, sir, are history's greatest monster! :banned:

...do you like furries or really bad puppets generally drinking, shooting up, getting AIDS, and ****ing? If you answered yes to any of these questions then Meet the Feebles is for YOU!

sounds awesome
