Cankles-McJeggings I’ve never seen a single Lord of the rings although read the books (made to at school). Also never seen Harry Potter which I file as the same kind of fantasy shite for kids.

I agree. Adults being into this shite can fucking do one.

Although I did watch Harry Potter on a BA flight recently, because 1) There was fuck all left to watch that I hadn’t already seen and 2) Just to spite the fucking cunts who are cancelling JK Rowling for allegedly being ‘transphobic’.

      Went to the cinema to see the first Lord of the rings and fell asleep within half an hour. It’s a load of old tripe the same as potter.

        Hursty Er, I also massively slag off the Marvel Universe, I like it about as much as you like FUD and FIAT Hursty

            bosstrabs Lol, good to hear your hate is consistently applied across the board

              Great call Hurst. Dave fucking loves Ironman, and is never taken to task for it.

                Dave’s Super-Power is that he can make you instantly retch by shoehorning useless food-provenance facts into every conversation.

                Dave’s plant pot sense is tingling all over.

                Dubman Went to the cinema to see the first Lord of the rings and fell asleep within half an hour.

                Same here Dubbers, although for different reasons entirely as I quite like the film as it happens but I was at the end of a massive 3 day festive bender.

                Still remember the painful jolts into consciousness at the loud bits.

                    I got woken up by mates on numerous times due
                    my snoring. Was it like 3 hrs long as well.

                      I’ve watched the first three episodes and have given up. It was disjointed and boring with a terrible script.

                      I’ve read most of Tolkiens books and feel the story (such that it is) has no gravitas.

                      Not surprising as Tolkien left little to adapt from the Second Age. So that means you’ve got shitty film script writers (one did Jurassic Park 5, I think!) trying emulate a literary master, with stories they’ve made up. They don’t have a hope in matching Tolkien, as they didn’t invent anything.

                      Truly they are standing on the shoulders of a giant and it shows.

                      Also Galadriel is nothing like anything I’ve read in the books. Peter Jackson’s one is faithful. Amazon’s one is a joke - but she does look the part.

                      I just wish they’d stop now and make no more of this dross!

                      All they can try and make, is a story out of a few appendices, at the end of Lord of the Rings - some of it is really good, like the war between the dwarves and orcs. But it’s only about four pages, so not much in there to adapt.

                      So they’ll have to pad any story out with their own crap, like we’re seeing and it’s just not Tolkien.

                      If Tolkien didn’t write a story it says there wasn’t one to write.

                      Rant over, back to the music 🙂

                        Hursty Yet there is a thread dedicated to the Marvel fantasy tripe on here and that gets a pass?

                        There’s lots of different tripe safely contained in the one thread with that Marvel crap - this is tripe with its very own thread - things could really get out of hand on here if we aren’t careful and it starts with this load ol’ bollocks

                            Peter Spadang will be challenging Nas for that coveted final spot in the Power Rankings top 75 with that post.

                              Along_the_Wire More than enough joyless cunts on here to keep things contained G, don’t you worry 👍🏻
