And yes, I read the books. They cut out plenty of things. There's HEAPS of pointless dialogue and walking that could have been cut out. You could cut that movie down to half the length if Peter Jackson wasn't such an immense wanker.

Funny thing is, I didn't actually mean to type that. I meant to use 'actually' but 'literally' popped into my head for some reason. Oh well, #yolo.

And you may have been able to cut a lot out, but it would've removed a lot of stuff that was necessary for it to be such a good trilogy. Without all that dialogue, a lot of characters would never have been fully developed and wouldn't have been as easy to emotionally connect to.

You need some of that "pointless" stuff to make it a story.

WFMB: If you want a laugh, go check out the matchday thread of Australia vs South Korea. It's like 16th century medieval anarchy in there. :lol:. People throwing death threats around like they're going out of fashion, everybody is a tactical genius. FMD, it's a good 'laff. :lol:

Making three movies out of three books made sense. Making three movies out of one book that is smaller than the smallest of the LOTR trilogies makes no sense at all. :lol:
