I found it hard not to laugh when he said nope. Screaming at himself one minute, and then just lets out that nope. Seemed absurd.

Faramir, hmmm, i have to read the book again, i cannot remember him totally, i thought he left them where he found them not take them all the way to Gondor. Does he really do this? Also was the wraith actually at the white city as well in the book?

Faramir doesn't want the ring in the book. He gives them supplies, and they move along. The whole gondor thing was made up there.

 

quote:I felt the Ents were rushed as well, quite a little was missing, i felt they needed a little bit more of a character buildup.

The Ents were sadly missing alot.  I mean they missed ALOT, the Ent Beer, the talking about Ents and all.  They were nearly lame come to think of it.  Also Merry and Pippin should of had a bigger part.

Aiming for a 4 hour movie? Woulda been good though. Maybe he'll add something in the extended edition. Then he'll pull a Lucas and release the Extended editions in theaters after ROTK.

And your point is? It is all part of the joke.

The BBC version was not that bad. And he's been working on a screenplay for 20 years. If memory serves correctly the project has been greenlighted around 5 times, and still it does not get made. Part of the problem was Adams had many things to do in life, and second I think his hatred of film producers was up there with Terry Pratchetts' (although I may be wrong, after all he did move to Cali.)

I agree, there were a few times when he is funny, but he was a character of pity. The Schitzo sceen was very good, unfortunately you could tell the audience was split in two, half were silent staring transfixed at the film, the others were laughing.

The people who laughed are the same idiots who laughed in the first movie when Bilbo refered to what he was smokeing as "pipe weed", fucking desensitized morons that pass for young people now adays, what's the world comin to.

The idiots directly behind me in the theater wouldn't shut the hell up. They couldn't tell the difference Gandalph and Salumon (however thats spelled) and they were confused when it showed the future where Aragorn is old and dies. Not surprising that there were dumbasses, considering the whole town was packed into that tiny theater, but why in gods name did they have to sit directly behind me!!!

Wasn't there a really bad TV show in the UK of the hitchhiker's guide?

I think they made a hash of faramir in TTT. I am already hearing runmours of people saying he seems bad. I would not say that but he if definately not portrayed as who he is in the book, then again he doesnt have much of a role so i'll let it slide...

I have to go see this film again though, there are things I want to look at again.
