    I admire Mary Poppins 1964 movie, but mainly for cynical reasons

    Because lets think about it. Someone who was a child in 1970s. Had to grow up watching this movie, listening to this song. And each day they would go to school having those jolly song numbers in their head going ARRRRGH! So its my theory to why emo era in 1990s happend, or goth period aswell...

    Pictures in LOTR movies you like to ask questions about

    I took this screenshot by accident, but the smoke kinda looks like image of Ringwraits, black riders.

    🧝Galadriel shoes in LOTR and Hobbit movies.

    We have topic about Arwen's shoes. So now it's time for a Galadriel. What kind of shoes does she wear in LOTR and Hobbit movies? I guess that some kind of sandals and boots. I found a picture of her boots, probably used in movies.

    Do you prefer 📔book Snape or movie Snape from Harry Potter

    Gonna have to say but. I think movie Snape is way better. I have never read Harry Potter books before. But from looking at some YouTube videos analyzing the differences, i like Movie Snape more. Because i get the impression he is a huge jerk in the books, whereas in the movie he is just way more...

    Were elements of Gollum inspired by Renfield in Dracula 1931?

    Now i have heard audiobooks "Some that JRR Tolkien did himself" and Gollum tends to sound very much like a limp froglike creature, like he is almost pathethic really with the vibe you get from Gollum. 14:14 But Gollum that is in Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies, sounds very alike to...

    Will Turin's confrontation with Ancalagon be portrayed in the movies?

    Will peter jackson or any other filmmaker show the andreth prophecy when the movies of the silmarillion are made after the rings of power are over? So they will make Turin fight in the war of wrath in the movie? and they will show the ancalagon that he has given his final death blow?

    Aragorn fighting Sauron "Deleted cut" in movie

    I can understand why they cut it. Since Sauron is technically dead physically, but this looks legit intense 2:46

    🧝Arwen in LOTR Two Towers movie

    Now i do wonder why she would be there? Maybe thats why they cut it out of the movie

    Is 💀Kill Bill a bad movie? Due to no original ideas

    I mean it just doesnt seem like it does anything new. Like it just feels like Bruce Lee with a woman in it. Thats it. It just looks so utterly boring.

    📔Book fans vs. Movie fans

    I know quite a few people who have seen the movies but never actually read Tolkien's books. Many of them tell me they liked the movies a lot, but they are still in no hurry to start on the books. So it appears that the movies have created a new kind of following: people who are familiar with the...

    Narnia: Anybody else find it odd with sibling Kings and Queens?

    Brothers and sisters becomes kings and queens? Since you know what the ehem typical role of King and Queen is to begin with. I love the books though, and the BBC tv series i saw growing up. But i always found that technically odd?

    Peter Jackson Produced the Dungeons & 🐲Dragons Movie

    I have been a fantasy nerd since I was five years old, and Dungeons & Dragons (the old kind, where you die and suck it up like a man) is the catalyst for that. Robert E. Howard came along for me in my teens and, between that and Nietzsche, I've never stopped being interested in ubermensch with...

    Do you think the Silmarillion movie series will fit into 7 movies?

    It is obvious that after the rings of power series is over, the silmarillion will be made into a movie series. Do you think the book of the silmarillion will fit into 7 movies? I think it will fit if it is like this; first movie: the creation of the ainur, the music of the eru, and the descent...

    Can the Ring's power be likened to themes in "Requiem for a Dream"?

    In sense of, addiction, escaping reality. Or at best taking shortcuts. And that itself is what corrupts people? Or maybe i am overthinking it. Though Requiem for a Dream, even for adults is pretty disturbing. Not a bad message but just to mention it. But i am curious to what you think?

    The Hobbit movies -- a revised viewpoint

    When the Lord of the Rings movies came out I felt the three were as close to perfection as possible, but when the three Hobbit movies came out I was disappointed. It's not that such a thin book was stretched out into three movies, which seems to be a common objection. I loved the added content...

    Has a movie ever scared you from certain bad habits?

    For me its "Requiem for a Dream 2000" movie. Basically i have decided to stop eating disorders, and start to live more for others. Ever since i was done watching it, because if you are too addicted or try to escape life. You would just end up badly, and that legit scared me. It was a...

    Will they make Turin fight in the ⚔️war of wrath?

    According to Andreth's prophecy, Turin is kept in the halls of Mandos for 50 years. Then he fights in the battle of wrath and kills the Ancalagon. Do you think they will include this scenario in the battle of wrath in the movie The Silmarillion? In the link below it is written that since Tolkien...

    Could The Beatles have ruined LOTR with a movie adaptation?

    I sorta think so. It would just be, essentially a Sound of Music LOTR. It would have been horrendous music is one thing. But i also heard J.R.R Tolkien never liked music such as Jive, Woogie Boogie or The Beatles. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-59387182 Say what you want about...

    Beauty and the Beast, your opinion on the movies?

    I actually for long time hated Beauty and the Beast. Because here is what i grew up watching, so i just assumed they all were terrible. - The impression i got is. Belle and Beast live together like an old angry married couple. And i was like? Why do people like this...
