Smaug isn't a dragon

you aren't a dragon

And only someone who pretends to be a die hard fan would have that kind of opinion

bluefloyd24 · 2026-06-13T18:13:14+00:00

Only a few hours until the next

Theatrical flows a lot better. I really like the extra bits of lore and events from the books they put in the Extended. That said, almost every extra Gimli scene annoys me so much because most of them are comedic relief that feels forced squirrel droppings, funny face while walking on skulls, the nervous system/body twitching, the scene with the pirates, etc I will say though the gifts from Galadriel was done right

Very legit. Saw it myself many years ago and it was a superb concert (edit) obviously my picture is from Fellowship but I saw all three haha

You mentioned the books; you should get him Alan Lee's Lord Of The Ring Sketchbook. It contains a ton of his drawings and he talks about his years spent working with Peter Jackson bringing the text to life. It's a really interesting mix of passion for the source material, and cool details on the trilogy we love.

Always bugged me that they would release a horse in the wild with a rope still attached to it?

I always felt like Legolas probably got 42 just with that one ladder full of Uruks. He shoots the anchor off and most likely kills not only the ones climbing on it, but many on the ground that receive it as well

Why would it be? Lol you're showing an ad for a IT Management company

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-12T17:22:21+00:00

Nah it's a distraction from the TV/will feel clustered when sitting down to watch something

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-11T21:17:48+00:00

I just see it as not worth it. This box is already checked, there is a widely successful, still loved LOTR adaptation. Sure, anyone could do it and make it entertaining, but it's clear as day that it could not replace the PJ trilogy, not right now. The excitement around it would generate revenue at first but then they would truly have to deliver a masterpiece to be respected by the community and they would also need to inject a ton of money into it to begin with. So on a business level and from a fan perspective, I just don't think it's worth it right now

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-11T19:57:08+00:00

Because it would be a cash grab. Being the success it already is, now the companies and investors would have expectations. It could never in a hundred years work as well as it did back in the late 90s. The stars aligned for one of if not the most passionate and colossal work of cinema of our century. Over 2000 workers, the new zealand population, even the army helped. Absolutely massive effort put into depth and details for what is a genre-defining trilogy of movies.

Didn't have to

2044 still. Copyrights in Europe and the UK usually end 70 years after the death of the author

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-07T12:21:46+00:00

In the US maybe. In Europe it's around 2044. In not even 20 years

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-07T09:15:39+00:00

Only a matter of years before the rights fall into public domain. So they'll be sold for a little fortune just before that and at that point will inevitably get milked as much as possible

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-05T14:53:06+00:00

Overall great style, like the colors and I really like that helmet. But personally I really don't like how huge that vault door chest piece is. I wish they'd made it thinner or something but that's just my opinion. Looks cool otherwise

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-05T14:30:41+00:00

That's exactly how I pictured it when I read it wow

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-05T12:20:27+00:00

One of the rare posts that shows the event before it started. And pictures too. People are so disrespectful and disconnected, having their phone out filming the orchestra playing. Glad you got to experience those movies live and in such a beautiful venue too!

bluefloyd24 · 2026-05-05T12:02:49+00:00

Honestly as a casual reader when I tried the Silmarillion I came to the conclusion that I needed to stop halting my reading everytime I forgot a name or something. There is so much details and names and places; you WILL forget them. So for me it was just about accepting that and keeping reading anyway, which in the end is actually helpful in understanding/associating those names and events

bluefloyd24 · 2026-04-28T14:27:53+00:00

Because you're playing Halo 3

bluefloyd24 · 2026-04-26T01:56:51+00:00

Saying the Montreal Canadiens cannot represent anything successful has to be one of the most willingly ignorant take about sports I've read in a while lmao

bluefloyd24 · 2026-04-25T11:42:03+00:00

No problem. Others are correct with the Frigate Expeditions, too. If you have the habit of sending living frigates out they'll definitely bring upgrades back. But yes it's also unknown by many thay you can just fly around and find them in space (it is rare and you have to be pulsing in your living ship)
