It is not our fight

(This one seems a little familiar, but I can’t recall if I’ve seen it here. Sorry if repost)

When she’s crying over her dead dwarf:

“why does it hurt so much?”

“Because it was REAL!”

Has to be one of the worst, cheesiest and badly acted interactions in movie history, it’s up there with all the romance scenes in the star wars prequels. I cackled when I first heard it

Oh shit, is that why she fell off? I had no idea

It’s very versatile though. Every time my wife asks “why does it xyz?”, in my most dramatic voice “because it was real”

She hates it lol

The people they fight for are mostly not in the book either so I don’t see a problem

Well… you know what they say: if Frodo can go to Osgiliath…

I have been rewatching some franchise media that got bad receptions (new star trek movies, matrix reloaded, The Phantom Menace) and I have been feeling a lot more charitable to these works than I was the first time.

In this spirit I watched The Hobbit again and it is truly awful.

I recommend giving the X Man Series another try. I recently did and it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. The original timeline just feel like perfect cheap action movies from the 2000s. Brought me back to my childhood. Same with the “Unbreakable Trilogy”

On the other hand, rewatching any season of True Detective is doable.

The Matrix Reloaded is legitimately a good movie.

Other than that 3 hour dance scene, I agree

I wish it was that long :/

Reloaded was well liked. Revolutions was widely panned. I also rewatched them both recently (all four plus the Animatrix in order, actually) and I found that I liked them more on rewatch, a couple decades later, than I did initially.

I seem to recall there being a pretty good fan edit that condensed it down into one long movie and cut out all the unnecessary love triangle stuff.

It’s called The Tolkien Edit

I enjoyed watching that when it was first created! Any word of a 1080p for that one? I’d even take a release of the timestamps so that I could make the edit to my 1080p versions.

There’s a few. I watched the M4 book edit recently and it’s pretty great.

Certainly cut out a few scenes I liked, but its goal was to be book accurate and it does a great job IMO.

The list of changes is remarkable.

I can wouch for this one. Very well done. I wish they cut out more Alfrid time though.

Alfrid makes me understand why people hate Jar Jar so much.

Is this the same edit made by Tolkien Editor or is it another cut?

But how would you cram in some unnecessary romance without dreamy eyed elves?

D’ye no find these eyes a wee bit dreamy?"

Those eyes are crazy

But that damn beard is so fluffy, I’m gonna to die.

He’s a dream, but I’m biased as I match him in height, figure and beard.

But are you dangerous over short distances?
