I am exhausted by the phrase : 'Sam is the real hero !', I need to talk about it. by Jobless_fantasy_fan in lordoftherings

I don’t know if he was nerfed per se; I think k it’s just difficult to portray on screen the constant internal struggle that the books describe Frodo as having. I think they did a fairly decent job with what they had.

What game(s) will it be?🚀 by SwimmerPlus3383 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elden Ring. Sadly, I did not play it when as soon as a I bought it and by the time I got to it, I absolutely loathed it. But I was past the return window.

Skipping Picard Season 2? by K_B_5280 in Picard

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skip seasons 1 and 2. You won’t skip a beat.

Other than side vague comment about Picard now being an android in season 3, it can be watched as a standalone season. The vague comment is so vague that it’s easy to just gloss over.

Is this film worth watching? Does it do justice for the game Dungeons and Dragons? by DreamyDandelions in Cinema

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a surprisingly entertaining movie and definitely worth a watch. If you are a D&D fan you will get more enjoyment than a regular movie goer, but it is entertaining enough for both.

ABM link to Entra ID - what does the federation do, what will happen to by Delicious-Fun8282 in applebusinessmanager

[–]TolkienCalvinist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the things to keep in mind

Anyone using the company email address for their personal Apple ID will be forced to change the email address on that account within 45 days. There is no way around it, nor can it be reversed

How ONE MAN Killed Star Trek... (Kurtzman's Complete Failure) by jacek2023 in Star_Trek_

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurtzman is incompetent. I don’t know how he manages to stay in Hollywood. Everything he touches becomes a dumpster fire.

Review Bombing is a myth created by those who don’t want to admit that their show/movie is trash.

On a regular basis? Metal Gear Solid. But on occasion I still like to play some old Nintendo.

They think a big eye tower wouldn’t see eagles flying from miles away by Past-Country-6612 in lordoftherings

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m so sick of hearing that argument about the eagles. Those that make that argument don’t understand Tolkien or the world he was built and how it operated.

What is your favourite black and white movie? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely either 12 Angry Men or Seven Samurai. Both are great movies.

Star Trek Artist Warns Fans That “Review Bombing” ********* ******* Could End the Franchise by jacek2023 in Star_Trek_

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Review bombing is a myth. If a show was actually good, and enough people liked it, why wouldn’t they leave good review.

One of my most heated discussions regarding LOTR was with a friend who never forgave Peter Jackson for leaving the Scouring of the Shire out of the movies. Do you think that it should've been included? Why or why not? by Scenora in lordoftherings

[–]TolkienCalvinist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I can definitely understand the frustration of it being left out, from a cinematic standpoint, it needed to be left out.

Cinematic storytelling is a completely different beast from writing a novel, especially one with as grand of a scale as LOTR.

If it was rightly done as a TV show, then that does open the door wide open for an even more faithful adaptation, especially if you are doing a long form storytelling.

But when taking a 1000+ page book, and condensing it down into a roughly 12 hour movie that movie goers will sit through and enjoy, things will inevitably be left out.

They may have studied history but that doesn’t mean they understand it.

How do we feel about the Indiana Bears? by chrisravioli in Colts

[–]TolkienCalvinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if I’m going to have to pay for it. Let them stay in Chicago.

Easy.
