I have profound autism. I am a deeply autistic man. Every month I get a money check from the government because I can't work and spasmodically squeak out the ages and heights of fictional characters in public. I wandered a block away from my house today and am now lost. Theoretically I could use my phone's internet to find home but I don't like to browse away from Something Awful. Please help.

Smaug pretty cool. Billy Connelly pretty cool. Too many overly dramatic drawn out death scenes. Popcorn was properly greasy with fake butter flavoured topping lube. 7/10

isn't gandalf like a demi-god along with other wizards that chose to live among the mortals to help them out, and then he goes out like Jesus Christ in the LotR books. I remember reading Tolkein's mythology, and while unique in a lot of ways from other creation mythos, is not very memorable or interesting.

I remember reading Tolkein's mythology, and while unique in a lot of ways from other creation mythos, is not very memorable or interesting. He is essentially an angel. He clothes himself in human skin and I think it's somewhat uncertain if he adopts human mannerisms naturally or picks them up to make his job to integrate easier. But he can't ever die, when he dies (as in the Balrog fight) he basically goes back to Heaven, and in that instance he was basically sent back down again immediately to take Saruman's place.

Gandalf, who's real name is Mithrandir, is one of the five Istari---lesser divinities (basically angels) sent by the Valar, who are the principal divinities that dwell in Valinor---the undying lands of the west---along with many lesser divinities called Maiar. Valinor isn't another continent analogous to the Americas as is often thought, but is literally a dimension that exists "beyond the horizon" e.g, out in space. We can't see this extra landscape in our time (the Fourth Age) because the Valar sealed it away after the departure of the Elves. I hate myself and I want to die. Saruman the White (real name Curinir) was originally the leader, most powerful and wisest of the Istari. He came to believe, between the events of The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, that The Valar's defeat was inevitable and the earth would fall to the dominion of whoever held the Ring of Power. After Gandalf the Grey died at Moria, the Valar reincarnated him with Saruman's old title and powers, hence Saruman's complete helplessness when confronted after the Battle of Helm's Deep.

For the original LoTR films they did use midgets for the far away shots. Hell, the whole height difference trickery was the best practical effect from the lord of the ring films.

My wife fell asleep during the 2nd movie in theaters and I wanted to but I felt bad for wanting to fall asleep for something I paid for. I won't see the third because all of this could have been done in 2 movies.

It could easily be done in one movie IMO, it's not a long convoluted story with different plot lines like Lord of the Rings.

There's always that one guys who's a friend of a friend who won't shut up about sports- The second he's left the door at work he has on a flat brimmed baseball hat with a team logo and any convo turn into him angrily listing numbers from a database with last names attached. DONOVAN HAD A DOUBLE TRIPPLE AND MCNAIR DID 5 WONKIES AND THIS A PLAYOFF SEASON, 12 KEVIN FUPPLE BOGIES? PUT YOUR BALLS IN TEH HOLE Ok great yeah I saw the 30 second highlight reel already thanks

Orlando bloom is visibly upset and disgusted by the elf captain's allusions to sex with the opposite sex, this was in the 2nd movie I think nobility in the lotr universe are explicitly wiser and smarter and stronger than the plebs, and legolas is a prince, so it's a safe bet he knows what's up straight sex is bad, is what's up Anyway all the good parts of the first two and probably third movie as well could be condensed to 30 seconds of smaug capering around while Gandalf groans and leans his head in his hands

Harime Nui posted:Humans basically don't got kings no more except for Rohan and Gondor, they mostly live in crappy towns with loose government like Bree or Esgaroth b/c the Witch King hosed up the main human kingdom a few centuries back, the last surviving nobles became the rangers who trained Aragorn when he wasn't slumming around Elrond's house macking on his daughter The Witch King didn't gently caress them up; he flat out conquered them and had a nice empire. After he took out the last of the Northern kingdoms, Price Earnur of Gondor managed to use Elves to drive him out of the North. The good Gondorians and Elves then left the area in ruins, while going home to congratulate themselves on a job well done. Once Earnur was crowned, the Witch King and Nazguls seized the city of Minas Ithil, renamed it Minas Morgul, and started issuing challenges to Earnur to come settle things mano a mano. This went on for years, until finally Earnur decided he had to answer, rode off with some men, and was never heard from again. Once he was gone, the 'Watchful Peace' began. Earnur was gay, and had no kids, which is why stewards are in control of Gondor when Aragorn shows up. Clearly Earnur was the problem, and not the Witch King.
