MedigoScan 324 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Didn't have that problem myself, and I didnt dislike the movie as much as he clearly did But I do agree with him on other points (a few of which, like Dain just disappearing from the movie, will probably be cleared up by the EE)and of course, low tolerance for continuity errors and a penchant for nitpicking are his running jokes..it does make me wonder. What did Galadriel do again during her LOTR offscreen hours? (In the book that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnald 365 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 In general I have a very, very low threshold for shit like this. I'll decide what's wrong with a movie thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedigoScan 324 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Eh. Again, its their gimmick. If you take them seriously, you have already lost.edit: also they clearly stole the Wereworm negotiation joke from us!sue them I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 That guy comes across as a real arsehole to be honest. I think Colbert and Jackson understand these things, but their mediums (for lack of a better word) call for simplification and creative choices. And it's grossly unfair - nay, entirely wrong - to suggest Colbert's knowledge of Middle-earth is drawn from the films. Anyone with a brain would know this.He seems like the type you really wouldn't want to meet at parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
