LotR Takes Top Spot on IMDB
Dwarf_Sibling writes "Hard to believe but with over 11,000 votes tallied LoTR:FoTR has displaced "The Godfather" as the highest rated movie at IMDB. Over time I'd guess this will fall lower, but this is an amazing accomplishment for a fantasy movie."
but this is an amazing accomplishment for a fantasy movie. ;)
Or a mediocre one for a kid with a script...
I feel Hugo Weavings performance in lotr was very similar to that of the Matrix (playing Agent Smith). The logical answer is that he was indeed playing an agent, and middle earth is either a patch for the matrix or an earlier firmware revision.
In my mine, there is silver and dwarves.

Umm, if you went by ticket sales, that would state that titanic was one of the best movies of all time. And by many non tech people, it might be, but I wouldn't take the word of those people, they are nuts.
Yeah, two of them were sitting behind me in the theater. When the credits came on...
Cretin #1: "Well, that sucked. You know, for sitting through a 3-hour movie I expect some kind of ENDING"
Cretin #2: "Don't worry, they're probably just setting it up for some kind of sequel."
End of lesson. You may press the button.
Kids, ask your parents for Jar Jar Smeagol(TM) this Christmas! You'll love this cuddly proto-hobbit in all its uncorrupted-by-the-ring-yet glory, and its distinctive speech "Yousa gonna give us the ring- it's-a our birthday - and it's-a our precccccioussss..."
In stores now, hurry!
microsoftword.mp3 - it doesn't care that they're not words...
Now we need a Bored of the Rings movie.
No need to be redundant.

Do you mean "visual" masterpiece?
Titanic, a great flick (despite all you naysayers), is 3 hours 20 minutes, has solid character development
I'm stunned! Titanic barely had characters at all, never mind character development! They all start off as cliched stereotypes and end up as (mostly dead) cliched stereotypes. Live->dead is a sort of character development, I suppose.

"Encyclopedia" is to "Wikipedia" what "Library" is to "Some people at a bus stop"
"Um...there is a Dr. Freud on the phone. He's asking if you have his slip?"
My favorite reaction when I saw LotR for the second time on Saturday night:
"So it was based on a book?"

*I* have written better music then was in that movie on rainy days when I was bored.
Don't mind me, I'm just here enjoying the irony. :)

If you ignore the other uses of a tool, does that make the tool less useful, or you less useful?
it's #1 with women on imdb, which means it's not just male geeks voting
And as we all know, people have never falsified their gender on the internet.
Aparently the MPAA agrees with your last statement: the movie is rated "14A for epic battles" according to the IMDB :)
They that quote Benjamin Franklin on liberty and safety deserve neither.
Sorry if this is also a spoiler, but do you know JFK was murdered?
