  1. Isn't that scene one of the ones added in the extended cuts?
  2. There are several scenes that mention Aragon’s being quite old, even the king of Rohan saying that he remembers him from when I was a boy and it is never explained unless you watch the extended or read the books. It is confusing because it is never even implied there is a race of super men. I believe it also expands on what happens to merry and pippin while that one orc is chasing them through the forest, as you said it adds tension What happens to Saruman is explained/seen otherwise all that happens is Gandalf says ‘trapped ip in his tower’. So ot makes no sense for them to find Saruman’s palantir just floating in the water
  3. none of them are any worse than the battle of pelanor with legolas doing matrix style kill combos of giant elephant things. the cut scenes can’t be criticised overly much when there is shit left in the movies that never should have never seen the light of day. the handling of denethor is atrocious as well. the movies have serious issues at times and non of them related to the added cut content but some of them related to the content.being cut. there are several scenes in the two towers that make no sense without the exposition of what aragon and the dunedain are
  4. Don’t remember any of those. Distinctly remember Aragon talking about the Dunedian and actually getting to see how Saruman dies
  5. Hidden Fortress - George Lucas took most of this movie to repurpose it as Star Wars. Kurosawa is so good
  6. Awful opinion. They extended scenes give context to otherwise unexplained events and concepts. the most cringe stuff is alrewdy in the thestricsl release, mainly the battle scenes with legolas and the increasing use of cgi

    @Tommy thinking of you while I skol this alt beer
  9. Pretty sure the biggest selling game in Germany is Forklift simulator, so what you guys consider fun most consider work
  10. because it is unbearably obtuse, ugly, and unfun. i played enough of this shit a decade ago
  11. I don't know if I had posted this on here but I felt insulted when it came to Margueritte's story. I really felt like it was condescending and 'tell, don't show' when it said 'The Truth' as if I couldn't come to that conclusion on my own. It is a good movie but I don't know why that bothered me so much, it felt infantile compared to rest of the story and it's only on the screen for a second. I must just really hate it when film goes out of it's way to hand hold and explain things to the audience. I also hated the costumes and lighting of the movie. Dark, grey, brown, and shit coloured. I'm so tired of medieval movies being set in alternate reality where light and colour doesn't exist. There is a reason why nobles wore coloured clothes was to show off their wealth. Look at these medieval regional flags of France. 894 × 989
  12. Yojimbo - Kurosawa's Samurai dark comedy was remade by Sergio Leone as 'A Fistful of Dollars', that is all you need to know. Watch it.
  13. I hate Affleck in that movie. He was easily the hammiest actor. Damon and Driver played it straight and then Affleck comes into a scene like he is a Mel Brooks character.
  14. Played 20 mins of FM21 and uninstalled. Fuck FM.

    That isn't really cancel culture though, that's just a consequence of doing something stupid. Granted a decade ago is a long time but getting bitten on the arse for being stupid isn't really cancel culture. I think cancel culture would be more along the lines of 'I think XYZ is sexist/racist/bad' 'any proof?' 'no but he is obviously sexist/racist/bad'
  17. @RondónEFC except 8 paragraphs on the sign
  18. As a Simpsons meme aficionado the ‘Nobody loves Milhouse’ would have been better. My judgement is absolute.

    I think I will stick to the Germanics. I imagine Afrikaans and then Dutch would be quite similar, but I have noticed that Norwegian has nearly the exact same composition as English and very similar root words.
  25. I think it was a free. That is why he had such a huge payrise
