Amph One Thread To Rule Them All: The Rings of Power + The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings Trilogies

Not what I meant

 

Wrong, Crem.

It ends AT THE GATES OF HELL!

 

It ends when I say it ends

 

I plan to do a LotR/Hobbit version of Robin Hood trailer after Snow White.

 

Is there a list of all the added scenes to AUJ's EE? I'm wondering if I should buy the EE or not.

 

Here's hoping Armenian takes his girlfriend to the movie again so I can hit on her again in this thread.

That was one of the most fun thread derails I've ever experienced.

 

EE of AUJ is awesome

 

Can't wait to watch this with my cousins.

 

Why can't Bilbo get any romance?

 

He's a crazy old Hobbit.

 

No that's only in the OT...er....I mean....LOTR trilogy.

 

Badass this is

 

it's really not worth buying. biggest highlight is the new scene where Elrond spots nude CGI dwarves bathing in his fountain or the really awful three minute goblin king number.

jk, there's some interesting stuff like a 30 second clip of Old Took's Midsummer's Eve party with toddler Bilbo harassing Gandalf, an expanded dialogue scene with Gandalf and Elrond foreshadowing Thorin's fate. actually, that's honestly all i can think of that really adds much. the new bits with Bilbo/Elrond and Narsil would've been great if placed before the moon runes sequence. as handled now, they really throw off the pacing in a film that already has substantial pacing issues.

 

You get a awesome song sung by Bofur

 

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_hobbit_the_desolation_of_smaug/ Rottentomatoes seems to be the only site that hates the hobbit desolation of smaug!

 

RT is a joke anyways

 

Debate about rotten tomatoes ratings is always incredibly stimulating.

 

"Is your review 'fresh' or 'rotten'?"

"Well, I kind of liked the movie, but it had some flaws..."

"Fresh or rotten?"

"I like my reviews to be nuanced--"

"FRESH OR ROTTEN?!"

"Uh, fresh."

"GREAT THIS MOVIE'S TOMATOMETERWINTERSPLINTER IS 90% THAT MEANS IT'S AMAZING"

 

God Elrond, can't you do anything right? You glare at Isildur instead of forcing him to get rid of the ring, and thereby doom the world of men. You glare at Bofur instead of forcing him to get down off the table, and thereby doom your dinner party.

Goddammit, Elrond.

A nice read about Smaug, his legacy, etc

 

The only goblin king musical numbers I find acceptable involve David Bowie throwing a baby.

 

That was a good read.

 

Wait the extended has the full goblin king song? I was really disappointed at the lack of it in the original

 

Yes.
