    It would never work as one film.
  2. Bilbo
    I would bet the LotR soundtracks outsell HP and Matrix combined.

    I would think it’s a commercial decision. They obviously don’t feel there much more to be milked from the films that have been released but they are also probably unwilling to hand over the jewel (and let’s face it Middle-earth is probably the strongest franchise they have left) to a specialty label just in case. Maybe Doug’s book in 2024 for the 10 anniversary of the end of the trilogy?

    I think when they decided to make it a trilogy was the problem. If it has been conceived as a trilogy from the get go it would have been fine. There’s enough material there for three films. It’s just not as strongly thought out. The mess that was pre-production was the biggest issue.

    I knew.

    It’s been 84 years…

    I’ve definitely heard him say they were going to make it as a game with a third party studio but the negotiations broke down. I can’t remember where I read it but it was in the last week.

    The finest actors of all time couldn’t have salvaged those Harfoot scenes
  9. Bilbo
    Sorry. I’ve never heard of this Amazon thing.

    What Joel did was Feb wrong thing to do. I’d have done the same in his situation. I went in all guns blazing and killed everyone. Including the two nurses. FWIW, I always go for high honour in Red Dead Redemption 2. But TLOU sucked me in and I wanted to save Ellie at all costs and make sure nobody could stop me 🤷‍♂️

    A story about the forging of the rings of power would be great to see on screen. I think the North is the most likely though.
  12. Bilbo
    I feel the three episodes as a whole would have been stronger if the Coruscant scenes were spread throughout the episodes rather than one big block in episode 3.
  13. Bilbo
    Well it can’t be worse than Rings of Power anyway. Hopefully WB look at what specifically people disliked about that and make sure they avoid those obvious mistakes. There’a good stories they can tell. There’s the whole War in the North and Angmar and all that good stuff. It’ll have to be fleshed out but the only non-Tolkien version of M-e I can enjoy is Jackson’s version so hopefully it’ll align with that. and film the damn thing in New Zealand.

    Just hook it to my veins.

    It’s a pity Prime are doing it. All their fantasy shows have been CW levels of bad but with big budgets.
  16. Bilbo
    This thread is a hoot 😅 I assume op is someone’s alter ego on the wind up?

    Amazing they were able to get Tarentino to direct this week’s episode!

    I think it’s clear at this point that the Tolkien Estate just wanted the money and didn’t give a damn about what the show did. It’s about as closely related to the Tolkien’s work as your average game of D&D.
  20. Bilbo
    I love that cue and it definitely should get rid of any claims of that theme being a House Baratheon theme. Protector of the Realm theme makes sense.
  21. Bilbo
    Sounds like an absolute dumpster fire https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2022/10/14/the-rings-of-power-season-1-finale-review-a-dreadful-mess/?sh=271c9c2d5aef I feel sorry for anyone who wasted 8 hours of their lives watching this crap.
  22. Bilbo
    I’m in a group here in Ireland of Tolkien fans. We meet up once a month to have a drink and talk Tolkien and there’s obviously a WhatsApp group. Nobody in the group is still watching this show. Some didn’t bother others watched a couple of episodes out of morbid curiosity. Everyone thinks it’s daft. If you’d told me two years ago I’d prefer a GoT prequel to a new LotR show I’d have called you insane but here we are! HotD gets better and better every week and RoP sounds like a parody.

    Oh misty eye of the mountain below… 🤮
  24. Bilbo
    This is exactly what I was getting at

    It was more an attack on Amazon just aping the bones of the Jackson films. Fiona Apple is great. Don’t think her voice is quite as iconic as the three singers used in the OT but I’m not attacking her here. just Amazon following another part of the Jackson blueprint. Female singer over the end credits? Check.
