[Happydude]

its an amazing movie!

and im almost half-way through the first book...i stopped reading that much after i saw the movie...but ill start reading it again sometime in the near future...after exams probably.

[BlueFire]

You mean it didn't set the record three or four months ago when it got 300 posts?!?

Um...I can't wait for the next movie...although it's highly overrated at IMDB.

I am just about to start book 2 in 'Fellowship Of The Ring' I am at the point where Frodo is a idiot and puts on the ring and gets stabbed by the Black Horsemen then Strider jumps in with sticks that are on fire.

[Kitana85]

They're great... wonderful.. philisophial... and hey... obviously the writer can spel better than i can!

[Lord Germano]

Isnt the second book called the two towers????

[Drunk Hobbit]

It is. The Part 2 saga continues part refers to that 20 something page topic before this one...

[Angrist]

Hmmm... Could a mod perhaps change the name of the thread to 'The Lord of the Rings'?? Sounds a lot better :unsure:

I finally saw the trailer yesterday, but I wish I hadn't. Spoilers! :(
I've already read the book twice, but I want the movie to surprise me. :)

[Lord Germano]

ahhhhh, okeley dokeley.

Well, Ive read the first book, and Ive barly started the second. My attention span is to short to read this. Every sic months or so I come back and read some.

I saw the movie, and its right up there with the matrix in my sic-O-meter. One of, if not the favourite movie of mine.

[Blade Runner]

Wow, I posted this thread back in the GT's new server days. This was even before the movie came out? Maybe shortyly after. What were you doing reading threads this old? What was I thinking with that title:unsure:

[Lord Germano]

Well, I was just looking oround at the old threads, and this one looked cool, so I revived it!

[D-Man]

LOTR > All

I read the books last winter, and what can I say...

LOTR ownz all of you or something.

*runs away*

[Angrist]

Don't worry, if you like The Hobbit, we won't kill you. ;)

The movie is great, as I said in my other topic. :D Gonna see it again tonight. :D

[Angrist]

:rolleyes:

[Shiz]

i wish i live where you do....bastard! about 80-90 more pages till im done with HoME p1.........ahhhhhhhhh

[Angrist]

HoME is quite boring... as a novel.

Even UT can be boring sometimes... :sneaky:

[Shiz]

have u even read HoME? its not really novel......its ten books :)

[Angrist]

Yeah that's why I said that it's boring FOR A NOVEL. But it's not so... :) You should only read it if you're really interested in Tolkien.

But I haven't read it yet. Still working on UT. :D

But TTT will boost my reading rate for UT.

[Jason1]

I finished the Hobbit. Twas pretty good...Im starting on the Fellowship of the Ring now...*shurugs*

Tis very long...a lot longer than the hobbit.

[Doctor Zhivago]

Yeah, I read The Lord of the Rings stuff a few years back. It wasn't bad, I guess. I don't really like to read fantasy books. The movie was alright. It wasn't as incredible as everyone makes it out to be, but it was...nice. Overall, a pretty mediocre experience, though. Honestly it isn't even my favorite Peter Jackson film. Dead Alive was much better. Great mixture of comedy and extreme violence :) I don't know, maybe the reason I didn't like The Lord of the Rings movie much is because I don't like to watch fantasies, either. Except for The Wizard of Oz, of course.

[Shiz]

i dunno why it will boost your reading for UT lol :confused:

talks about entirely different things. only a few things related to LOTR. buuuuut what part are you on??

[Angrist]

The line of Elros.

With this Tolkien hype I feel like reading. :)

Some stupid kid said in a Dutch thread that the advance screening thingy was cancelled, but I guess it's just a bad joke. A very bad and sick one. :unsure:

[Shiz]

:(

[Angrist]

BLAST IT!!! NO JOKE!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

:baby:

[Shiz]

omg why is it cancelled?

[Angrist]

New Line Cinema decided that there will be no advance-screening-whatever-you-call-it-thingies.

Now I have to get tickets for tueseday night. But I'm afraid they're all sold out! :(

:mad2: :baby:

[Shiz]

jease that sucks, going from seeing it b4 anyone, to seeing it after everyone :D

[Angrist]

BTW do you have the extended edition?? Have you seen it?? It's really so much better! :D

[Shiz]

nope but im getting it SOON!

[Angrist]

I could have seen it by now... if they hadn't cancelled it. :unsure:

Oh well, I got 4 free tickets!! :D

1 for me, 1 for my bro, 1 for me and of course 1 for me. :D

[Shiz]

lol 3 times?wish i were there!

[Angrist]

Yeah just come over and I'll give you a free ticket! :D

Blast... I haven't reserved any tickets yet... dunno when I can see it! :(
