... in which he portrayed one of the most powerful moments of grief / despair that I've ever seen in cinema. IMHO.

btw, not just "one of the Riders", King Theoden's nephew and heir.

Tsk tsk. I think a few scripture lessons are in order.

It was meant as a layman explanation, fans clearly wouldn't need any help here...

Peter Fucking Jackson needed some scripture lessons. These films are an abomination.

I know this is going to start a war, but here goes...

I can't tell you how happy I was that he skipped the entire first half of the first book, including Tom fuckin' Bombadil, because it was boring and tedious as shit to read.

No true fan would ever say that. I can understand choosing leaving some things out for time constraints, but that creates plot gaps. His attempts at restitching the plot were ludicrous.

Remember the barrows after they left Bombadil - that's where they get their weapons.

Clearly, EK was never a true fan, because no true fan would say such a thing.


I will burn his embassy.

Right behind you sir.

I invoke the 'No True Scotsman' fallacy, and shield myself with the armor of LOGIC! All your blows are as naught against the power of LOGIC!

Well yippee, today I saw my first 3D movie.

It reminded me of those old 3D cards we used to get on cereal packets.

This was 'punishment' for taking my flatmate to Les Mis - which she hated, having no prior knowledge of book or musical (whereas, me.... singing every word and crying like a girl from the opening scene).

I said she could pick the next pic.

I went in blind... no idea what I was going to see.

Lots of perfume ads... bad omen... gonna be a chick flick.

Review: Jack the Giant Slayer.

Not even heard about this movie before.

Excellent largely Brit cast (a semi-reunion of the Trainspotting ensemble) plus the immediately recognisable voice of Bill Nighy as the chief ogre.

Oddly, in a reversal of the Hollywood tradition, an American played the baddie.

All in all, a very enjoyable tongue-in-cheek romp-com ©.


My friend loved it and here's what I find remarkable... she had no prior inkling of the old fairy tale on which the film was based. Same with the Snow White movie recently.

I just can't get my head around that kinda thing.
