yeah B, i'm pretty excite about the two towers part too. btw, have you seen that they've made a LOTR game for xbox and GBA? GBA version is kinda lame, but playable. get a rom from www.chinaemu.net/rom and i can guess xbox version sux too. LOTS just won't be playable as a game. it was already very hard to make a movie, which still didn't get as good as the book.

I want to see THE ENTS! i read the two towers already (but i wouldn't be able to say wat's going on b/c, i did n't really read it that carefully). But i hope it's as long as the first (u can enjoy it for longer) and better too. I want to see Gandalf the White too

That trailer was amazing, but I feel they revealed too much. Anybody who (for some odd reason ;-)) hasn't read the books yet won't have much of a surprise. But it will be a sweet movie. The first of the trilogy was amazing. Hope the second one is as good.

Saw it, not bad! I can't wait to see it. Or you can prolly just download a screener weekend after that movie hits theaters. I'm gonna go see it in theater anyway though. Got my tickets already.

I think it is this Sunday my family will be going to see it. Bring food and beverages. Last time I don't think I ate anything for most of the movie because I was so involved.

aight, it's 3:30 am wednesday morning, and i just got back from TTT.

i'm not entirely sure of what i thought of it... overall it was a very good movie.. but the switching back and forth between stories almost ruined it.... well.. that's my opinion, and i'm going to bed now

Well I waited to see it at the theater. They left out a lot of stuff, but they had to to keep a movie going lol. It was much more exciting than I ever remembered the book being. Overall, it was very good.

Usually theater DivX movies suck terribly, and are very dim with mono sound. However, they can be not-bad sometimes. SMR and TMD are usually pretty good. The files are small, as is the quality, but better than others I've seen. Once and a while you may find a good one, but good luck with that. IRC can be a pain sometimes.. ok often. Kazaa is a godsend, but slow sometimes (Cough 1K/sec on 700MB movies). eDonkey is promising, but SLOW!! I mean molases will make it cros-country EurAsia by the time you get the file. Good luck anyways. ;-)

Ugh, TMD is good? You must be a 56k user right? Well, when I was on 56k I still tried to avoid those and only downloaded them to get a glimpse of what certain moves are. Though, TMD/SMR releases usually come out before other groups, so they aren't that bad for low bandwidth users or when high quality movies aren't available. Kazaa and FileShare for me, I hate eDonkey. Yeah, I can find most stuff I'm looking for on donkey but downloads like never work and are extremely slow and it eats all bandwidth even on my 3.5m/385k commercial cable. Dunno, maybe I'm just using it wrong. Kazaa is alright, but still even on donkey you download speed depends on other user's upload, not just your connection or Kazaa being gay. Lol

I think some of my friends use direct connect for movies.

About TTT, i saw it, i thought it was pretty good, some of the branching plots were boring (e.g. Sam and Frodo got tiresome a lot). Gollum was the best, it seems like cg characters are like becoming better than real actors (everybody seemed to like yoda the best in ep2, and gollum in ttt).

again, japanese subtitles suck, here's the funniest thing you will EVER see in your ENTIRE life: here

if you're not sure you want to go, here's some examples: (i tried to fill in what it's supposed to say from what i remember from seeing it... a lot of times....)


"i don't usually hold to foreign food"

"Haven't you, Gollum?"

"Warmongering?"

"Too long have you watched my sister"

"that saruman will unleash" (i think?)

"it's the beard"

"bring your pretty face into my axe"

"i cannot jump the distance you have to toss me"

I just realized that you can also see what was really being said on that page - which is probably more accurate than what i put down.

The only thing that I've seen that comes as close to that for being funny is Zero Wing. Type it into a search engine and see what you get.

The 'famous' line is "All your base belong to us".

Has stuff similar to that, x-cept not just in a certain movie, there's stuff from all over, it's quite amusing too.
