movies

I'm looking for well-written and in-depth writing about how Jackson's movies failed to represent the themes and the characters from the books. Searching the web hasn't been the very helpful. I've found some scholarly papers, but I'm sure I've read more accessible articles before, I just can't...

Just wanted to share the experience I personally had, and see if anybody felt something similar... I was introduced to LOTR through the movies (18yo when the first released) and then read the books a few years later. I have always been a reader, more into history books than anything else. And...

What do you think the title would be? My guess is, it will be called Matrix Reload Reality

Does Eowyn even get to have any lines in that book? I remember she being a mute in Two Towers book, until Return of the King book happened. Where she got more lines to say, and a falling in love with Aragorn, before he politely dismisses that affection. But in Two Towers. From my memory...

So my first reaction to this is. Why? I mean i know Peter Jackson sadly screwed up the Hobbit movies. Going from Acceptable to Lame. The only Hobbit visual medium i can recommend, is that 2003 video game released on PC and PS2/Gamecube/Xbox. Though consoles is said to be the best to...

I was doing a back and forth with an AI agent to help me put the thoughts together. How would I make a Silmarillion movie(s) in a way that 1) it would satisfy Tolkien's fans like myself (and especially the Tolkien Estate) but staying true to the real narrative. 2) it would be attractive to non...

Several problems - Alice is too adorable. I don't like that :( It distracts me from the plot - Its a cartoon. I prefer live action with weird stuff (Not the Tim Burton movie). But to me, Alice in Wonderland should feel like a crazy place that would look unreal in real life.. - The White Rabbit...

I know i might be reaching. But after reading Galatians 5:13-26 It got me thinking a bit? In the New Testament they call it Act of the Flesh (Sinful nature) and Fruits of the Spirit (Sinless nature) Now thanks to a video game called (Jade Cocoon intro) on PS1, it helped me understand these...

That's right, 22 years after seeing all three movies in a theatre on 'Trilogy Tuesday', Alqualisse and I are going to do it again on January 24th. The content of the movies and my well-documented issues I have with then aside, it's more of a 'life' thing for us... If it weren't for the making of...

Well. (sniff.) I don't see this has a thread of its own, though there's a lot of trivia everywhere scattered about. But as the Lord of the Rings has its own trivia thread, maybe this can have one? Anyway, I found it interesting Peter Jackson based his Rhosgobel Rabbits on the Flemish Giants...

I didnt realise its the same director who made "Eden of the east" which wasnt a good anime but it also was so massively insane that it did leave an impact on me. But basically, my opinion on movie. It was alright, didnt love it, but i had fun time seeing it on release in cinema. (Which judging...

It was... horrifying, disgusting and scary. But i am glad i saw it. I like "Saw" horror movies but they are more surface level morality of thankful for your life. This movie legit made me thankful for, just... stuff we might take for granted. But it was a good film. I feel its a movie you have...

Nintentndo-boss Shigeru Miyamoto has announced today on x that they found their actors for the roles of Princess Zelda and Link: Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth. So what do you think? Good Casting or did you have other actors in mind?

I've always found the movie depiction of Sauron a bit strange- I couldn't find anything in the books to support that design. The most I can think of is that Sauron was described as sort of a shadow of his former self after his defeat in the end of the Silmarillion, but as far as I know he was...

Link Rather amateurish article, judging by the author's frequent failure to use apostrophes, as in the paragraph above; odd for an MSN article, imho (way to promote literacy, msn). I don't how if I have an opinion about which movie is the most book-accurate but in case anyone is curious and...

Its called "The Room Returns". It might come out in 2025, which i hope. I love the original movie from 2003 due to how bad it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room_Returns! Here is one scene they tried to remake. And it almost sells it. But man the script is... not doing them any favors...

The proof is Rotten Tomatoes webpage. So basically. Critics hated "War of Rohirrim" movie but audiences accepted it (Now personally. I had some issues that this doesnt really feel 100% like Tolkien story, but more at best a loose story that has some elements of Tolkien stuff in it. If anything...

It’s Christmas season, along with other holidays. What movies are we watching? One of my favorite silly movies that I’ll be watching again this year is Santa Clause (1959)

I dont think or remember how they were described in the book. But looking up online they seem to resemble Africans. Whereas in movie, they changed them to look more middle eastern (Probably due to the message of anti war due to the aftermath of 9/11 at the time) But from a Europe centric view...

What the heck? I don't even know what to think. https://variety.com/2021/film/news/lord-of-the-rings-anime-the-war-of-the-rohirrim-new-line-cinema-warner-bros-animation-1234993740/
