Okay. I actually have a sizeable and respectable collection of videos, so I'll share the benefit of my wisdom:

All Star Wars (yes even II, it is the greatenst love story of our time, you know, I mean Romeo and Juliet was just two spoiled little kids who pop themselves in the end)
All "Alien" films
All "Indiana Jones" films but NOT those Young Indiana Jones ones
All "Lord of the Rings" when they are all out (by the way, why does everyone like Orlando Bloom so much, I mean I thought he was cool, but usually no one shares my taste)
All "Jay and Silent Bob" films
Any Star Trek film with an even number in it's title ( First Contact is a particularly good movie, even if you're not a Trekkie)
The Shawshank Redemption
The Quentin Tarantino collection ( I won't bother naming them all)
The first two Jurassic Parks
The Hunt for Red October (one of the Best films of all time)
Blade (I don't like Blade II much, but there's no accounting for taste)
Both Mission Impossibles
Armageddon (the second greatest love story of our time)

I can't remember any others right now, but as soon as I do, I will crowd the website with a mind numbing list of them

D'ya know what's better than porn? Real women. No, you cannot find them on the internet, buy them at Games Workshop or meet them at Star Trek conventions.

;p

Oceans Eleven is definitely on my wishlist.

We also have Gone in 60 Seconds, Shrek, and one or two others.

Scarinae

Did anyone else find Gangs of New York really predictable? Myself and a friends tried to guess the entire plot just from looking at the poster, and we were scarily accurate. Also, Leonardo Di Caprio only had an Irish accent when he talked about "the Oirish". Psh.

Green Hand Guy

If you're going to buy Lord of the Rings then make sure you get a pirate copy. I don't want any money going to that bloodthirsty heathen, Peter Jackson or stupid Elijah Wood who couldn't be Frodo on the Frodoist day of the week (which is Friday).

Ah now, thats all lies, I have frequented those places regularly! Maybe I don't count as a real woman so

I always thought Warrick Davis would be a great Frodo. In Willow he was brilliant and they wouldn't even need to use special effects to shrink him down.

purplepolkadot

elijah wood was only picked cos he sent a video him and his friend made of him reading an excerpt from one of the books to peter jackson. he got it at more or less the last minute because the open castings and all the first choices turned out to be unsuitable. so i think lots of people coulda played frodo, but elijah wood was the most suitable actor at the time. he's got the whole wide-eyed innocence thing down to a t.

Green Hand Guy

Yeah, but his problems are:
1. He's too tall
2. His accent wasn't country-bumpkinish enough
3. He looks like a brown haired Marge Simpson
4. He can't act in any film that doesn't have dolphins or other aquatic life in it
5. He has a stupid name and now a load of stupid parents are giving their kids that name
6. His height changes multiple times throughout the films
7. He looks creepy
8. He never actually read the entire book before making the film
9. He was hired by Peter Jackson, the most evil man in the world
10. I heard he sells heroin to underpriviledged orphans

TheAlmightyArse

You're a rather bitter little terrapin, aren't you?

I heard that you preferred to spend a day in school (4th year) rather than support the Irish Heart Foundation collection thing.

(True story tbh)

lordsippa

Did he stay in to sell heroin perchance?

Green Hand Guy

You're a rather bitter little terrapin, aren't you?

No, I just HATE the entire cast and production team of the LOTR movies. (Except for Gimli. Who could stay angry at such a hideously hairy little creature) Hehehe. I said hairy little creature.

I heard that you preferred to spend a day in school (4th year) rather than support the Irish Heart Foundation collection thing.

Remind me Barry. Did you do the collection? Did you even do the heart foundation first aid course that was required to do the collection? Are you aware that I didn't find Daffy on time to sign up? I rest my case.

Why? What on earth could all those people have done to justify hatred? (Upper case hatred, at that)

Oh, and that's not his real hair. And he's rather huge as well.

Green Hand Guy

They paticipated in the making of a film that's not only horrifically acted, but deviates so far from the book that it's an almost completely different story. Why, oh why did they cut out Glorfindel? Having Aragorn saved by Arwen just makes him look like a pussy.

Most of you won't agree with this but I'm a bit of an insane Tolkien purist and I'm outraged that Peter Jackson is changing the end of the third film because appareantly it's too anticlimactic.

lordsippa

Shut up you sad little man. So what if it deviates somewhat from the books? The only way he'd get funding to make the movies is if it was a sure bet that they'd sell. So he changes a little? Better than no movies at all.

And if you're such a purist then why not go remake it when you're older? It's an ambition eh? As it stands he did a damned good job imo and although perhaps it's not the DEFINITIVE version but it's the best to date.

And before you call me some sort of stupid fanboy, I've only seen Two Towers once. And I think I only got round to seeing Fellowship in the cinema once too.

So cease your prattle. Or at least be less whiney and irksome in the manner you prattle.

<guess who's a bitchy lil leaving certer>
