Shadowstrider Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Frodo, the character, is about as believable as Oscar the Grouch... perhaps less so. ESPECIALLY in RotK. If you felt some sort of connection to Frodo, I weep for the future. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> P.S. I am 99.9999999% certain that when Atreides said "that part was gay" he meant "that part was lame/stupid/boring." Not literally, gay. Not that I care, either way.

LadyCrimson Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I must agree with Shadowstrider...again. lol Tho Frodo in the books was much better...the movies tho...badly done imo. “Things are as they are.

Blarghagh Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Frodo was indeed far better in the book. Not nearly as whiny or weak. Movie Frodo did nothing but get stabbed and trampled and helped by his friends. Book Frodo was smart and did a lot of things on his own strength.

Lucius Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I don't read stuff like that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You know, maybe you could, on a certain day and in a certain state of mind, try expanding your literary horizons or some other, equally pointless, deed of mental self-gratification. ... So no gay space warriors then? That's so gay of you Baley. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.

mkreku Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 What the hell.. Reading about you nerds going on and on about the LotR movies just made me realize one thing: I think I got something in my eye at the last scene in the last movie myself! When they're standing at the docks and the little gang is about to split up.. Gaah, now I hate myself!! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

LadyCrimson Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 It had good battle scenes. I loved the short cgi bit with the wedge of the goodly army driving into the vast oogy army. “Things are as they are.

Baley Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 ... So no gay space warriors then? That's so gay of you Baley. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unfortunately I'm not overly familiar with SF literature. Burroughs, I think, has some elements in The Nova Trilogy, but it's experimental prose and I doubt that's your thing. Have you read any Genet?

Surreptishus Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yeah so in short, I haven't cried since I was a child. What launch said about the crying and men's emotional retardation - I don't agree. Women cry more than men becuase they are crazy and use it for manipulation. Most men are too honourable to stoop to that kind of emotional blackmail.

I learnt that at uni and from personal experience. It's a sad truth, so accept it. Crying is a form of release and is a good thing if it is required for the said purpose.

It's a proven fact that due to men's cranial structure they are substantially retarded emotionally speaking. It's also a proven fact that men's expanded cranial capacity gives them increased intelligence and sometimes even telekinetic abilities. Also, everyone knows that if they teach it at uni, it must be true, and will always be as it's the case with the undeniable truth derived from phrenology and craniometry."

Checkpoint Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I often find myself trying to cry, but it's almost as though someone were watching and I can't go. Ironically you easily start to cry when you're talking about what's bothering you with someone close, but that's also when you try to hold your tears back. When my grandmother died last summer I didn't cry, because it was so expected due to her illness. I did, however, cry at the funeral which felt really good afterwards since I felt that I wanted to cry but didn't think I'd actually do it. ^Yes, that is a good observation, Checkpoint. /God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) Well, if you talk about your problems first then you can probably avoid it bottling up. I've tried both, I prefer just having a few talks with someone. (though family and parents in particular hardly fit this role imo) Edited June 19, 2006 by Lucius DENMARK!
