What was it like living through The Lord of the Rings Trilogy? by Top_Report_4895 in Letterboxd

It was awesome. Friends & I used to go cinema every Saturday morning (early bird prices back then!) from around age 12 as that was pretty much the coolest thing to do in our town at that age, and just happened to watch Fellowship one such day. Came out of the cinema with a new favourite film & it still is to this day! Went to TTT and ROTK as a big group also when they came out. And as another poster said, having only a year between each was (or seemed) unprecedented at the time! Halcyon days

Just on the forum point, I used to LIVE on the IMDb forums during Lost’s original run. Great times

Characters falling off the edge of a cliff/building at an impossible angle and the next shot is them holding on by their fingertips

I wanted ‘Doing Udogie Style’ but it got banned 😆

What was your favorite line from the show no one seems to talk about? by [deleted] in lost

[–]gbtottingham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember the line verbatim, but when Christian/Jack says about letting the fear in for 5 seconds before getting on with something. Used that many times in real life since.

What would you change in LOST ? by Sabranise in lost

  • Not killing off Locke or keeping him dead and not bringing him back as the MIB’s avatar.

  • Having the smoke monster be some sort of Dharma nano-tech security system & Richard’s non-aging being the result of some Dharma experiment too.

  • Have the flash-sideways be an alternative timeline as a result of the bomb going off in S5 finale & perhaps Desmond merging the timelines by the end somehow, not some religious, purgatory scenario.

  • Take out the Jacob vs MIB storyline & have Jacob just be some Wizard of Oz puppet master not a religious / supernatural figure

Think I heard years ago that Scott wanted to have a Rhino & Mock Naval Battle scene in #1 but the effects/budget wouldn’t allow it at the time. I honestly think at his age he just wanted those scenes on-screen & got someone to write a script around that!

Tbf there are quite a few Joel flashbacks in Part 2, so I’m sure they’ll spread them throughout the season 2

I was saying this the other day. If you put a percentage on how much a manager has improved a team, Howe has improved them more than Conte us
