LOTR awards

[Emerin]

Just wondered who else was really happy with how this fantastic and landmark film was supported in the awards the other day! I was so happy to see that it got the recognition it deserved!! :D

[Mahoney_007]

I missed all the who-har, but I think they took like 11? awards, quite well done for a guy who made shocking films like Bad Taste at the start of his career.

Well done "Pete" indeed

Interesting fact I heard this morning 1 in 1000 Kiwis have Stared ( well appeared as an extra) in atleast one of the LOTR films, pretty cool huh

[Emerin]

Yeah, that was awsome. The design and casting crews serched New Zealand high and low for elf look alikes and humans.. etc. If you get the DVD's of the movies, you get "the making of" in there. It's really interesting, and has all that kind of information. I can honestly say, that although it wasn't truely accurate, i loved it. It was a MASSIVE movie to make, and a tuff crowd to please. I say congrads!!! :D

im like the only person in the world who hasnt seen them

BLASHPHEMER!

Shocking? You what?! Bad Taste is a fantastic movie.

No, seriously! If you haven't seen it, find it - it is great.

If it's anything like the perfectionism he strived for in LOTR, i'm sure i'll like it. I will put it on my "to watch" list.

I love fantasy fiction and the like to read but could never get into LOTR. I was disappointed with the first. Enjoyed the second, especially the evolving realiastion that Golum was schiztso and the battle scene. Haven't seen the third. I will get around to it one day but I am not rushing. I will wait for DVD. It would have been a massive job to make the films, but I still think that Star Wars is the finest FICTION movie ever made (gasp!!!)

[Emerin]

I'll give u that one, but ONLY the earlier ones.. the new ones, IMO, were to commercial. But then again... they're sci-fi, not fantasy. As for fantasy all timers, i'd have to say i love the dark crystal (i know.. this is very sad, but i love these) and stuff like the neverending story etc... it was all so very new and creative! And labyrinth... we loves labyrinth...mmmm David Bowie...

[sxereturn]

So, ah, maybe I should go hire these movies out?

"The bog of eternal stench", Magic Dance and Hoggle = greatest movie creations ever. Who would of thought?

Anyone else notice that Jack Black played the bad guy in Never Ending Story 3? He led the gang who hung out in the carpark.

You work at a video shop once - and you remember every cult movie in existence.

"Anyone seen TRON?"

[Avanti_Racing]

"Anyone seen TRON?"
No
no
NO
(etc)

I haven't seen this movie yet either, I don't think I have the attention span to sit through it.

[wombat]

For my mind, the greatest thing about the movie winning all the awards, was that we got to see Peter Jackson over and over again. That man had to be the best dressed person there....

"Anyone seen TRON?"
No
no
NO
(etc)

I haven't seen this movie yet either, I don't think I have the attention span to sit through it.

[Emerin]

Oh BOY i'm worried about you! :shock: And i haven't seen TORN i don't think.. what's it about? Is it fantasy? And yes... magic dance, hoggle and i'd have to say the pink head throwing guys did the movie for me! OH! And that little blue worm! Ello! lol... ok.. i'll shut up now :oops:

[RCOH]

If it's anything like the perfectionism he strived for in LOTR, i'm sure i'll like it. I will put it on my "to watch" list.


its.....ummm.... a different kind of perfection :shock:


I have seen TRON :oops: & i still love the way those crazy motorbikes took 90 degree corners without slowing down one bit!!!!! Madness

[chrus]

im like the only person in the world who hasnt seen them

Nope I havent either. Not one and I'm proud of it.

[Maggot]

hmmm, SNORE! literally, i rented it and fell asleep halfway through, could be i have a.d.d and dont know about it :shock:

TRON is like the original matrix. Except - a human hacker is transported into a computer program and liberates it from the "master controller" Very 1980's matrix.

And yes - those crazy 90 degree bikes were awesome.

Thats it - I'm going to watch it now!

[Maggot]
