At this moment, I almost regret not having seen any of those flicks. Of course, I'd lose that sense of entitlement to push your head in a toilet, nerdlinger, so it's, at best, a push.Wolter wrote:He actually bears a striking resemblance to some of the more cringing orcs from the Lord of the Rings movies.Dr. Medulla wrote:

They're worth seeing, with a caveat that they aren't perfect. Still, considering how badly he could have fucked them up, the level of quality is reasonably stunning.Dr. Medulla wrote:At this moment, I almost regret not having seen any of those flicks.

It's about as good an adaptation of the books as I can imagine while still keeping it, you know, entertaining.Wolter wrote:They're worth seeing, with a caveat that they aren't perfect. Still, considering how badly he could have fucked them up, the level of quality is reasonably stunning.
I think the franchise is a case where the sum is more than the parts, actually.

I doubt I'll ever see them. The subject matter just doesn't interest me. I've never liked fantasy. For the same reason that I can't imagine I'll ever see Brokeback Mountain—don't like romances, don't like westerns, so there's not much there for me.Wolter wrote:They're worth seeing, with a caveat that they aren't perfect.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
Flipped on the television for a few minutes while I was cleaning the kitchen and caught CNN running a segment which played as a love-letter to Arizona ranchers who support the new Immigration law. The entire segment was full of unfounded speculation with no attempt by CNN to question or correct any of the "facts" being presented, and CNN lovingly framing the entire debate in terms of What's The Best Way To Keep The Illegals Out of Our Country?
Then they led into a segment on how great school uniforms are and how well they affect children's behaviour and I turned the television off in disgust.
