HoonDing Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I don't recall Legolas and his waifu appearing in the book. 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Hurlshort Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 How are they going to do a 3rd Hobbit if we are already seeing the Dragon?
ShadySands Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 it probably ends right around there and if it's anything like Return of the King then we will also get 30 minutes of different endings 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Blarghagh Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Mild spoiler warning. The dragon is not the end of the book either, there's a some pretty large scale stuff coming up that in fact ties a lot of the so far seemingly random encounters together. Edited June 12, 2013 by TrueNeutral
Hurlshort Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 It has been about 20 years since I've read it, so that is probably true.
Rosbjerg Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Death at a Funeral.. God I love Alan Tudyk's performance in this.. His character gets some killer drugs by accident at the start and through the whole movie he is just.. out there! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9oEk1UuRC78#t=314s Fortune favors the bald.
Gorgon Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Mild spoiler warning. The dragon is not the end of the book either, there's a some pretty large scale stuff coming up that in fact ties a lot of the so far seemingly random encounters together I wouldn't call it large scale stuff in the book, after the dragon is killed. Maybe large scale as it affects the realm, but not the story arc. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Blarghagh Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I'm more talking large scale as the amount of people involved. It's not called the Battle of the Five Armies for nothing.
Raithe Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 While everyone's psyching up for Superman.. I'm pondering when I'll be able to get a chance at catching Much Ado About Nothing.. http://youtu.be/AAMsDP_DMHE http://youtu.be/4Bvva_cplAs innerspace - Much Ado About Nothing "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
HoonDing Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 What's Kenneth Branagh doing nowadays? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

sorophx Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 yeah I'd much rather have Ben Affleck Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Walsingham Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 *Spartan fanboi stuff* I simply can't get over the sheer lunacy of suggesting the Spartans should be held up as heroes of freedom and justice. It's complete nonsense. They had the morals of a hungry wolfpack! "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

It's complete nonsense. They had the morals of a hungry wolfpack! But they did have a lot of good "female equality" as well as being utter bastards to their helot slaves.. They considered a woman dying in childbirth to be the equivalent of a man dying in battle... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Oerwinde Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I couldn't tell if that was a prequel or a sequel The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Azure79 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Anyone see Man of Steel yet? I was really excited for it, but it was underwhelming. It felt like the pacing was all over the place, with the latter half being one long repetitive action sequence.
HoonDing Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Superman is the lamest DC superhero. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Volourn Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Man of Steel - 7.5/10 Good movie with lots awesomestuff and not so awesome stuff. I thought Lois Lane was awesome but Zod was played crappily. The out of ordeer flashbacks was dumb as it would have been better to see Clark growing up with his Earth parents in a linear time fashion. Beginning on Krypton was good stuff. Caville was solid but not spectacular in the role. The only question is since this is likely getting a sequel.. what do you do top top the literal earth destroying story of this one? This is a story that could have been saved for final film of a series/trilogy... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Giantevilhead Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) I found Man of Steel to be a mixed bag. I really liked the slower smaller character moments. In fact, they were my favorite parts of the film. The acting really made those scenes, especially in parts where the dialogue wasn't great. I was very impressed by the secondary characters. Colonel Hardy, General Swanwick, Perry White, Jor-El, the Kents, and Faora were all great. In fact, I really think they should have given Faora more scenes, her cold calculating attitude could have really complimented Zod's passion. I really liked Cavill as Superman. He's able to do a lot with not much dialogue. Amy Adams is great too but they made Lois too reckless, put her in situations that didn't make much sense, and didn't really utilize her too well. As for Michael Shannon's Zod, it was really hard for me not to compare him to Terence Stamp and it's not nearly as memorable as Terance Stamp's Zod. The action scenes, while being visually stunning, don't really serve the story too well. There was just way too much destruction in highly populated areas. The fact that they've tried to make this a more "realistic" or grounded film makes it even worse. It's not like in the animated shows where it's easy to assume that all the buildings are empty. It also really undercuts that last big moment with Superman and Zod. The romance between Superman and Lois was poorly developed in my opinion. It really didn't feel like they had enough interaction for much to develop. There are some plot problems and Zod's actions are questionable. Some of the editing was problematic too. The change between certain scenes are pretty jarring. Edited June 15, 2013 by Giantevilhead
LadyCrimson Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Oh, Michael Shannon is Zod? He can be a mixed bag actor wise. Good in some roles, not so good in others. I'm not really picturing him as Zod....didn't realize they were going to deal with Zod in this one right off the bat. And nobody beats Terance Stamp....nobody. “Things are as they are.

Blarghagh Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 How am I only watching Re-Animator for the first time right now? This is hilarious!
Volourn Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 "Amy Adams is great too but they made Lois too reckless, put her in situations that didn't make much sense," Lois is always reckless. I just like the fact they didn't make this Lois an 'ice princess' in this one. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
sorophx Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Amy Adams is awesome, that's all I have to say. my second favorite red head in Hollywood after Jessica Chastain (say what you will about Zero Dark Thirty, but she was brilliant in it) Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
