Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[JGlass]

Very long ending. I like a little mystery, you know?

Fair enough. I suppose they were just trying to be loyal to the books, but I see what you mean, I wouldn't have minded it ending when all the hobbits got back to the Shire.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Can't believe that poor fuck Bilbo has to live forever like that. Because that's what he has to do!

 

[JGlass]

Yeah man, he's pretty senile by the end of that movie. I just hope for his sake the elves have some magical stuff on that island... or wherever it is they go to... that helps restore memory.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Cruel fuck, that Elrond. But yeah, the first is really the only one I rate.

 

[Барбоса]

Two Towers was my favourite. The first one bored me

 

[Uncle Sam]

You would say that. We all know about your fetish for poorly realised CG trees. Come to think of it, it is an oddly specific fetish but hey, whatever, man. I ain't judging.

 

[Tastycles]

I've only seen the second one, but they're all shit.

 

[Барбоса]

The siege of Helm's Deep is well done, aside from the usual "Aragon/Gimli/Legolas take on 50 men singlehandedly" schtick.

Although the siege of Jerusalem in KOH is better

 

[JGlass]

I love all of them, but I generally consider the third to be my favorite. Everything in that movie is so well done, and I love the cavalry charge when the Knights of Rohan come to aid Gondor and they break through the Orc's pike line. Just awesome.

It's pretty hard to beat the Helms Deep siege scene though, it's simply amazing.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Wrestling Road Diaries, I suddenly really wanna watch it. Unfortunately, I can't find a copy anywhere. What good are you, internet?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Did Chris Jericho's DVD turn out to be any good? I was gonna buy it when it came out but apparently I completely forgot about it.

His book is actually pretty good, even if his overuse of ellipsis is rampant. Oh, and the cover looks like shit. I'll probably be buying his next one.

 

[Tastycles]

Ellipses are underrated...

 

[Uncle Sam]

The BAFTAs, just a bit shit really. For an audience full of potential award-winners, they really don't give a shit. And the professional actors on stage seem to have no idea how to deliver their lines. Oh, it's hard, isn't it?

 

[Барбоса]

The BAFTAs are entirely too British

 

[Uncle Sam]

I take offence to "British" being used as a synonym for "a bit shit", good sir.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Better than the Oscars. Not that I've ever watched the Oscars.

The Jericho DVD is meh.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Shame that. I'd buy a meh DVD for £12.99, but £17.99!? Bah!

James McAvoy, he's alright.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I prefer Fassbender.

 

[Барбоса]

I meant 'British' in the downplayed, withdrawn way

 

[Uncle Sam]

He'll be a good Magneto. I think he's playing Magneto. He must be playing Magneto.

Something something Best Supporting Actor: Geoffrey Rush. Another no-show.

 

[Барбоса]

After fighting the likes of Van Helsing, Gandalf, James Bond and Yoda, Sir Christopher Lee is finally starting to look his years.

One of my favourite actors.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Kings Speech=overrated as fuck. It was good but totally undeserving of the bulk of it's awards. It was painfully obvious where the show was going and I hated it.

 

[Tastycles]

British is an anagram of "bit shit". Well, "bir shit" actually, but not a million miles away.

 

[Uncle Sam]

1. The Fighter
2. Black Swan
3. The King's Speech
4. 127 Hours
5. True Grit

Shame.

 

[Coco]

I'm sorry, Samuel.

Also, I'm still too busy judging The Fighter on its typical looking trailer to be bothered with actually watching it. But I did see The Social Network and was very disappointed that I enjoyed it as much as I did.
