there's a really good movie in the hobbit trilogy. i liked the first one a lot. the second one was mostly good. the third one was not very good.

i thought the first one felt like padding: the movie, i can't imagine how much worse the rest were

the second one was definitely worse, and the third was oh-my-god-why-is-it-still-going-jesus

I hated the first but honestly I didn't really like the LOTR movies either. Peter Jackson's King Kong was a million times worse though.

Sagebrush posted:it is explicitly explained in the tales of the bounty hunters anthology that the sarlacc, which is sentient, absorbs you into its intestinal wall and merges your circulatory and nervous systems with its own. this allows it to keep you alive for hundreds of years, throughout which it communicates with you. you are not strictly digested, as the sarlacc considers conscious beings too valuable to simply consume as food. instead you are gradually absorbed into the sarlacc's consciousness, joining thousands of other minds from eons ago. i read this book and remember exactly 0 things from it

all the hobbit movies are heavily padded, by the end they’re mostly fanfic

fart simpson posted:i read this book and remember exactly 0 things from it oh man i remember all of em ig-88 takes over a droid factory and makes many copies of himself and gets installed into the death star computer core, then exploded zuckuss and 4-LOM just hang out and do nothing and talk to each other; zuckuss is probably force sensitive and the droid doesn't understand it; eventually they join the rebellion because zuckuss needs a healthcare plan bossk is only hunting han solo because he eats wookiees and wants to eat the most famous wookiee in the galaxy, but he gets foiled by a different wookiee and his plucky human ladyfriend dengar is a big loser who keeps getting owned by everyone, culminating with boba fett tying him up and leaving him in the desert, but he is also force sensitive and contacts his girlfriend like luke calling leia and she saves him

all the story beats in the hobbit are off because it was designed for 2 movies and then stretched into 3 so they had to make it work somehow

My hobbit story is from when one of my wife's office mates in grad school invited us over to watch the first to prep for release of the second, and as a LotR fan it sounded like a good time, and I fell asleep on her couch for most of it. I just remember being in and out of sleep for the action scenes that ran way too long and lacked any dramatic weight. Never gonna watch the rest based on that experience.

the problem with the hobbit is too many dwarves. 5 or 6 of them literally don't do anything. the one with the axe in his head, what does he add to the story? do you even remember his name?

lol there's a Jemsin book on the Kindle cheap deal today https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07T4SW594 Lets take a look at the low-score reviews quote:Broadly to be a good character in this novel you must be more than one of: LGBTQ++; ethnic minority; female; foreign; left-wing. In general the following are bad or very bad: NYPD and other authority figures; white people; men; people or boroughs voting Republican (adios Staten Island!); Exceedingly mad.
