    I'm also disappointed about del Toro. Dude's Smaug would have been incredible looking.

    I remember reading that they're going to try to keep the designs Del Toro came up with while he was still attached

    Can't confirm that though

    Yes, the Silmirillion is a very bland read and can't be translated directly into a film. But damnit, there is some fucking amazing stuff set in there that you just have to fill in the blanks.

    I read the same thing. Dude had already done a lot of design and prep work for the movie in the time that the actual production was stalled.

    ALso, I'm trying to figure out where exactly they are going to end the first movie. I can't figure out what would make a good climax for the first movie, while still leaving enough material for an entire second film...

    I'm with Rank, I REALLY hope they don't fuck this up because it is pretty much the best book.

    But since the book is so good they might destroy it.

    Reread this a month or two back

    still don't understand how tolkein was able to create something so readable and also make the main trilogy.
    It's not amazingly dense, but boy does it get boring

    You mean the trilogy gets boring, right?

    To this day I have never been able to finish reading Return of the King.

    The Hobbit is awesome.

    I want a Dresden Files movie but The Author himself was part of production of the series and that first episode was the worst.

    yeah the trilogy starts to drag pretty bad, The Hobbit is the only book out of the LotR stuff I can stand to re-read

    Fuck the trilogy, I'll just watch the movies
    takes up 9 hours instead of the 40 it'd take me to read the books.

    This, ladies and gentlemen, was almost our Aragorn

    Somehow he looks short.

    He should have been a hobbit.

    Also He managed to be Uglier than Viggo.

    So maybe a Dwarf.

    I uhhh don't think so personally.

    I always thought, besides Ian Mckellen he was the best looker in the movie.

    All the women swoon over Bloom though.

    This won't come as any surprise, but I read all of [what was available at the time, Simiril-to-RTK] and also the entire Dune saga in one big rush during the 6th grade back in 87 or 88.

    edit: I've read them since, but yeah, early influence.

    They took babies to alien?

    Good movie though.

    One of my favorites.

    Shit man Ghostbusters and Back to the Future two of my favorite movies came out like 3 years before I was born.

    Shit the NES was out tow years to the day before I was born.

    I didn't get one untill like 1993 though.

    We had an atari for a bit but I dropped an orange popsicle in it.

    Sorry about the nostalgia but I found some old Weird Al discs.

    I jumped straight to LoTR after reading the fourth Harry Potter.

    I read the hobbit afterward and by seventh grade I was reading Silmarillion.

    Today I'm lucky to be able to read trash like Jim Butcher.
