@mrmattimation Interestingly enough, all the 7-11's I've been too are really nice and the Circle K's were all awful
-
@northernnarwhal This sums up my feelings pretty well. All of the Hobbit movies would be completely fine if they didn't have such high standards to live up to.
-
All of this is sad because the Hobbit was honestly my favorite book in the series.
-
@northernnarwhal Using banter and small talk as a tool for plot-progression and character development is rather difficult to do well. Peter Jackson has demonstrated both the exact right way of doing it in Lord of the Rings, and the wrong way of doing it throughout the Hobbit.
-
@northernnarwhal Boromir's death would be near the top of my list of Favorite Moments From Lord of the Rings that Weren't from Return of the King
-
@northernnarwhal Honestly, slow is something the Lord of the Rings did really well, especially in Two Towers, but I feel like the original trilogy had a sort of... charm that made the viewer willing to sit through the slow. The slow was enjoyable. Admittedly, Unexpected Journey did not have that same feel.
-
@nerthos That's another thing, the Battle of Five Armies was really short in the book, and the movie decided to drag the entire thing out into a full length movie, and I just feel like it didn't work that well.
-
@northernnarwhal Personally I feel like the entire Hobbit trilogy had serious pacing issues. I really enjoyed Battle of the Five Armies in theaters, but watching it home without all the spectacle, I just felt like it wasn't that great. Also Legolas is a big issue for me in it honestly. I never hated Legolas in Lord of the Rings, he was just far from being my favorite character and I dislike how shoe-horned he is into The Hobbit in general. I also feel like he's a much less interesting character without Gimli.
-
@northernnarwhal Out of curiosity, which do you think was the worst?
-
@northernnarwhal This I can completely agree with. For sure.
-
@northernnarwhal Bilbo's characterization in the entire trilogy has been fantastic, it's one of the definite high points. The thing is, Jackson is incredible at large battles, as we've seen in both Two Towers and especially Return of the King. However, I just felt like the battles in the movie weren't on par with some of Jackson's previous work. It wasn't bad enough to stain or otherwise damage the saga, I just feel like it was overall lackluster.
-
@mushi I have some bad news
-
@northernnarwhal I'm actually not sure that I stand by my claim of "weakest" since it was arguably better than Desolation of Smaug. I just felt like it was too much baseless action, to many pointless subplots that lead to nothing, and too much Legolas.
-
Upon watching it again, I've decided that I think Battle of the Five Armies was the weakest Middle Earth movie of them all. Not bad by any means, just a lousy end to such a delightful franchise
-
@mrmattimation Get your batcave together, Andrew
-
@ceruleanspark Yeah, well, my Hunter bathes every night in a bath tub full of Last Words.
-
@ceruleanspark Oh it's on.
-
@ceruleanspark Well now I'm gonna have to use all my Strange Coins to buy three more Ice Breakers just out of spite.
-
@ceruleanspark I already have the Ice Breaker though.
-
-
@nerthos I really enjoyed that game. A good way to kill about five hours.
-
And then a star falls there.
-
@awlditzy Beautiful
-
Any more incidents like this today and people will get banned. Fair warning.
-
@rednorth It's a lot of peoples' faults and everyone needs to just stop.
-
Seriously, if you guys keep this kind of thing going I wlll start handing out bans.
-
Can everyone just stop?
-
Bad RDN. Bad.
-
@coltz Where's the gun.
-
AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
