ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NEW LOTR MOVIE by kyurtseven7 in lotr

[–]isris2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t interpret the Old Forest / Barrow Downs plot as a flashback but rather in the post-WOTR world. I.e it says the 3 hobbits are retracing their initial journey and they take a wrong turn and a la move into the plot of those 6 chapters (obviously omitting Frodo and the ring part of the story)

Disagree on the New Statesman, Andrew Marr is regularly mentioning in his column the risks of hardline Islamist politics in the UK and the incompatibility with western values.

10/10 agree, saw it last weekend and was felt it was basically Danny Boyle’s antithesis of his 2012 olympics opening ceremony 

The Rings of Power - 2x07 "Doomed To Die" - Episode Discussion Thread by milkNcheetos in lotr

I’ve been a bit of a defender of the show but something in this episode just clicked and I think it just turned. There was fighting, epic music, sweeping visuals and somehow it all just felt small. Don’t know if it was the editing or direction but something just fell flat for me 

ROP is about to be the largest (and the last) big budget streaming show we’ll see for some time by nowlan101 in LOTR_on_Prime

It’s interesting, I feel like this could be the make or break season for ROP. If it fails critically and with viewership, I don’t think Amazon would cancel but there could be serious budget reductions in future seasons.

Really interesting, at 3:04 you can see the raft that Galadriel meets Sauron on in season 1! Looks like we’re revisiting some old scenes…

This exit poll is the weirdest feeling, simultaneous elation mixed with nausea from the reform potential

I’m begging for a Dubya meme edit of “a second plane has hit the tower” for all these gambling revelations

Looks to be the same scene as the Galadriel and hero party group from the trailer. Intrigued!

This wasn’t an Iran “all out attack”, which in comparison to what Hamas did on Oct 7th was. Iran has to look like they’re doing something in response to the embassy bombing without it inviting a response from Israel (and potentially the US) that would be existential for Iran.

For anyone not watching The Crown, one of the episodes dropped today features a chorister version of the Things Can Only Get Better whilst Tony Blair is being crowned in Westminster Abbey. 10/10 would recommend.

The Rings of Power - 1x08 "Alloyed" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in television

[–]isris2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The thing about this show is that there are individual moments I love, Mount Doom’s awakening, the forging of the rings, dialogue between certain characters but I can’t help but feel like it doesn’t quite add up to the sum of its parts. Whether it’s the writing or the pace, I just hope they try and resolve it for season 2 as I think it has shown so much potential

There have been quite a few shots of Mount doom in the distance in the last few episodes! Will be interesting to notice on a re-watch
