...fade-in/fade-out sequences at the end...and by the end I mean 45 minutes of FADE-IN/FADE-OUT christ my knees hurt is this over yet. I don't give a shit that Sam got married.

Good. Not great.

I thought it was great, until those. Battle scenes were amazing (and, GWNC, they actually toned down the "evil darkies from the south and the east" stuff from the books). But, yeah, the 15 false endings were annoying, as was the fact that, instead of the quite poigniant Harrowing of the Shire, Jackson decided to end with (i) the visual equivalent of the "Chip and Jenny married, then divorced, then married again, then Chip was eaten by natives while on an oil exploration assignment in Guinea Bissau" blurbs that run during the credits of some comedies and (ii) a little (OK, big) homoerotic fantasy (NTTAWWT, but, no matter how much revisionists look for it, it just ain't in the books and is pretty out of place in what is otherwise a pretty chastely romantic, if even that, epic). The whole movie just suddenly became totally gay, in both modern senses of the word. Big bummer, that. 'Cause I thought the rest of it was completely super.

Now, THIS should be the board motto. On a related note, while tying in the thread about PLF picking up 16-year old hotties at hip hop shows, I learned a lesson this weekend.

When one is approached while reading a book at an Irish bar in Portland (where part of my family lives) clearly patronized by many local college-age kids on a Friday night and asked if I am Italian, and then how old I am (after denying any Italian lineage), the answer is not the truth. The truth apparently turns off drunk, horny 21-year Portland State students just returned from a year studying in Salzburg. I apparently need to start lying about my age - heavily.

Wow, that had all the makings of a Penthouse Forum letter until that last bit about the hottie being turned off.

This scene immediately reminded me of the dream sequence (it had that dream sequence effect going on) in "Happy Gilmore". Not good times. Not a good time for your subconsious to be thinking of Shooter McGavin...

The correct answer is a half confused half amused "how old do you think I am?" that implies you are never asked this question, followed by "ah, you wound me!" regardless of what the answer is, and the next inquiry should be responded to with "you're off, but not by that much."

If she's talkin' to you, she think's you're doable, so whatever she is thinking, be it old or young, should be encouraged.

Oh, and you're a dirty old man. But you knew that.

Jesus, Less. This type of rookie mistake would be shameful from others, but from you, it is an unspeakable disgrace. Please remember that many on this board look to you for guidance and inspiration.

The correct answer to the question: "How old are you?" is "How old do you think I am?"

Oops. Um, yeah, what she said.

That would have been better, but: (1) I had been drinking; (2) I was trying to converse with her in bad German - hell, for all I know, I may have said I was 57 or 13 or some other age as stupid as my own; and (3) I thought she was older than 21 - 21 year old chicks should not be hitting on me.

I either need to go back to Scandinavia where they have bars one must be at least 24 to get into, or back to Eastern Europe where they don't care so long as you speak English with a Canadian accent. I will work on my game for y'all, though.

Again, Jackson was being true to the book...

Kind of. He skipped the best part of the hobbits return home. But at 3 plus hours long I can understand why he didn't include those scenes.

Cut backs, my dear. You'll have to learn how to cook, and Mr. Kiss will have to learn how to fuck.

Why not just tell the truth? How old is so old that people feel that self-concious about it? 33?

Did you not read this part?: "The truth apparently turns off drunk, horny 21-year Portland State students just returned from a year studying in Salzburg. "

plus, don't you get the feeling the real age was 19, and the 21 was just to clean up the story a little?

Try "four button". Three button is more traditional than two button.

You think you're accurate with the hyphens, but I think you've missed some unit modifiers.
