My friends wont let me live. Literally. Im being buggered out of existence simply because im a normal bloke who cant stand to see guys in makeup acting out weirdly fantastic roles completely unconnected with reality with a storyline that would appeal to a ten year old, fifteen tops.
You dont need to act well, because if the audience cant relate to you, ah well, thats because you’re a zingoid. You dont need to have a half decent story, because remember, you cant relate. How many days in your life involve talking to a big tree with lots of eyes?
Im sorry. I hate fantasy stories. I hate them because they’re excuses for ordinary writers to escape the bounds in genuine fiction that MAKE them ordinary writers.
And ofcourse, then theres people who ask me to watch it for the effects. Awesome. Im spending ten hours of my life thinking about how that mountain did look like a mountain. Effing look out the window will you?
I have not had teh time to see the movie yet, I was surprised at the people who had camped out to be the first ones to see it. As if the movie was going to go stale and you will not get the same damn story the next day.
This also reminds me of a sad sad day. the day that Star wars prequel part 1 came out. There were people who were camping out for days in front of the theatres. I called to see which show I could get the tickets for, and it turns out teh first show was at midnight, and there were shows at 12:01 which was sold out 12:02 which was sold out and 12:03 which i could get seats for. As I got to teh theater and saw many yodas, obi wabns and darth vaders in line, i wondered if they had not heard of ticketmaster, could nto buy their tickets on line, or was the 12:00 show giving away soem secrets to teh meaning of life that everyone who watches the movie afterwards is just not going to get.
ravage good observations. I am just about as tired of bandwagon fans of these movies as I am sick of teeny bopper girls saying hrititititk or brad pitt in their every other sentence.
Thank ye people. Im very glad for your support. rest assured I will not cave inspite of potentially having all three in dvd print.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's visit to the Star Wars premiere was hilarious. DL if possible.
Yes, another one here who doesn't understand the hype behind it.
I've tried watching Part 1 of LOTR cuz my friends were 'forcing' me to but after the first 20 mins I lose interest. :-/
SO I decided to give up .. Science Fiction/Fantasy movies are not my cuppa tea

thank you, shinoo. yes I highly doubt that the collective IQ of people who rave about golems and totem poles goes into double digits on a good day.
science fiction? nahi yar science fiction to achay loge dekhte hein :s
They're cult movies. Just like the Matrix, more hype than cheese.
I also read the books, they're pretty good and can be heralded as classics, but there was nothing too, too exceptional in them. Perhaps all hte ideas have already been ripped off and I read the ripped off ideas in the form of later publications.
Ahhhhhhhh finally someone came out to talk about the crappy LOTR and Harry Porters. Thank God I didn't see any of these, the trailors are enough to tell that its a "PG -17" shytt. I even refused to see on DVD which my friend offered to me.
Triumphs visit was hilarious! The best part is where he goes upto a pregnant lady and goes, 'you have a future jedi in there', she says 'yes' and then he goes 'well thats the closests hes gonna get to female genetalia ever'! LOL
