The end of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King....

[roosta]

is the quickest in the history of anything something has gone from kick-ass to gay beyond human imagination.

Big tense fuck off battle, fight on edge of firey chasm, huge explosion, tower falls and evil is destroyed...............to a bunch of men jumping about on a bed in slow motion hugging and making eyes at each other all shot through a hazy mist of gayness.

I wish someone would edit all 3 films into one film of nothing but fighting.

[kleptomaniac]

hahahaha! yeah that scene made me lol

and it's hard to tell when the movie actually ends too, just when i think it's over....it's not?

i really like the LOTR movies though. they were a lot more interesting than trying to get past the first 11 pages of the first book :/

[kleptomaniac]

I wish someone would edit all 3 films into one film of nothing but fighting.

i was only interested in that anyway. and gollum. they could cut out all of the romance and frodo and sam making googly eyes at each other and i'd be happy.

[synch]

I nearly slit my wrists with the sharpish edge of an empty Maltezer bag during the jumping on the bed thing.

[ET]

Haha, I liked how it being in slow motion made it even more gay. I was borderline clapping when it came on in the theatre because all of the geeks there clapped for the cool parts except this one. WOOOO!!!

[Bob]

you know, everyone gives the ending shit, but come on. you don't end a 9-hour story with a "the end" and a star wipe

[synch]

I was getting an odd sense of claustrophobia after all that time in the movie theater.

When the image faded out... and faded back in to Sam... I nearly had an "episode".

[QueenAdrock]

YES! I thought the series was pretty kick ass and then they had that gay hobbit love scene and I just burst out laughing. And my friend turned to me and had tears in her eyes from how "touching" it was, and gave me THE dirtiest look which made me LOL more.

She told me after the movie was over that it was "sad that I'm so desensitized to emotional movie moments."

:rolleyes:

[Ason Unique]

I liked those movies a bit, but that's 9 hours I'm never getting back. Peter Jackson sucks shit.

[synch]

Can't blame Jackson for filming it.

We have to blame Tolkien for writing it.

[QueenAdrock]

I loved the books. You don't see written at the end "And then the hobbits giggled and tickled each other very slowly and drawn out and were oh so merry they were together once again on this extra-large hobbit bed that could easily fit on a few more male hobbits to make it even gayer." That was all Jackson. In the books, they came back to a burned-down village.

[Ason Unique]

Can't even blame Jackson for filming it.

We have to blame Tolkien for writing it.
Spose. But now everything Jackson directs is at least 2 hours long. Brain Dead and Meet the Feebles were ok for chuckles, now he's just inflicting vanity projects on the world.

[synch]

Oh but I liked lord of the rings, I just felt near suicidal/homicidal near the end of the third one.

[Ason Unique]

I enjoyed them, but I hate Jackson for doing it. I can't make any sense of my feelings on the matter.

[roosta]

yeah...i dont have a prob with the long-ish ending, as you say, you can't just end it there and then, but the hazy slo-mo bed jumping gayness was completely un-needed.

[trailerprincess]

I had a problem with Aragorn looking like he'd spent hours in the hairdressers straightening his flowing locks. He was far more believeable (and hotter) as dirrrrty Aragorn.

[Mr Films]

those movies are perfect.

even in super long extended remix mode, flawless.

amazing amazing achievement.

the movie event of this generation.

they'll re-release those flicks for years to come.

[synch]

I had far less trouble with the length of the last one when I was at home watching the extended editions but in the movie theater it was pure suffering.

I'm just glad I didn't let myself get talked into watching all three back to back when the third one came out.

[Funky Pepp]

i was only interested in that anyway...
When I read your reply I thought you meant you were only interested in that gay movie-scenes... ;)

Before I saw that movie the first time I read an article in "Spiegel" which said that LOTR-ROTK would be full of "homoerotic", so I was kind of prewarned. But every time Frodo gazed into Sam's eyes I couldn't help thinking to myself: "HOMOEROTIC, ding ding ding!" :D

Exactly!!! And I'd love to see Saruman get killed by Grima and the little hobbits kicking some asses and taking back the power of Hobbiton.

maybe i'm missing something... but why do they sail off into the sunset? to die? are they going anywhere?

They are returning to the grey something land (dunno the english name for it, in german it's die Grauen Anfurten). I think it's where they once came from - the elves.

[Bob]

they're going to the elven equivalent of heaven

i could say more, but i'd sound pretty gay

[Funky Pepp]

... but i'd sound pretty gay
HOMOEROTIC, ding ding ding! :p

Well... Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel because they completed their mission. Help the free people of Middle Earth in the fight against Sauron. And also because they were the Keepers of the Three (rings of power). And also because the time of the Elves had passed. It was now the time of the men on Middle Earth. Frodo as the Ring-bearer and Bilbo as the Ring-finder were accorded a special right to travel along with them.

Oh, and they sailed west to Valinor (the Land of the Valar / The Realm of the Valar in Aman (The Undying Lands)). There they would be healed and would find peace.

(yeah....im a geek)

[Tzar]

so yeah, they just die?

EDIT: Frodo and Bilbo died. But this isnt mentioned in the books. And the elves and Gandalf certainly didnt die.

[Bob]

i think (don't hold me to this) that they did die, but, as a reward for their services, they got sent back to middle earth for a while. remember what happened after gandalf fought the balrog? he died, but he got sent back to finish his business there. same thing with frodo. then, with their business being completed, they left again.

i think.

Your right about Gandalf. He died and got sent back by Eru to finish his business. But Frodo and Bilbo probably did die by "oldish" (does this word exist??) because even they being able to go to the Imortal Lands they werent imortal. So one day they had to die. Elrond and Galadriel are elves so they are imortals. About Gandalf, after his departure to Valinor, there's nothing known.

Not even a postcard? :mad:

No :(

Maybe the guy who's continuing the Dune books can get on this.
