Interview with Peter Jackson on LoTR Bloopers
erth writes "Newsweek has an interview with Peter Jackson asking him what he thinks about some of the most famous and/or obvious bloopers in the LoTR series. Moviemistakes.com has more Fellowhip of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King bloopers as well for your snickering pleasure." I just wanted to give my props to Jackson and all- we took off early yesterday to see the final film. It was everything I hoped for... except for the bits that I expect I'll have to wait for the extended edition DVD to see. And I was to busy grinning ear to ear to notice any serious bloopers.

You can tell a someone who knows nothing about the constitution or the legal system is in denial of their ignorance, when he supports turning something that wasn't even a crime ten years ago into one, then conflates that crime with stealing, then claims that any who disagree with him are nitpickers.
Look, congress agrees that copyright violation isn't theft. The supreme court agrees copyright violation isn't theft. If you've got the guts to write them letters demanding that they lump copyright law in the same section as theft law, or you will organize recall petitions, then go do it, and afterwards you can preach at the rest of us. Otherwise, your just going for a cheap sense of moral superiority that is unsupported by the facts.

For example, a lot of people enjoyed the first Matrix movie, even though its premise violates physical laws (since human bodies cannot generate more energy than is put into them).
This has been covered many, many times before, but I still cannot resist responding to people when they make this mistake.
You are correct in that human bodies cannot generate more energy than they consume. However, you are incorrect in claiming that the Matrix relied on a premise which violated that law.
When Morpheus explains the mechanism to Neo, he says that with humans, "combined with a form of fusion," the machines had found all the energy they'd ever need.
It's that little mention of some sort of "fusion" that is the Wachowskis' "out." Since this is hundreds, maybe thousands of years into the future, it is entirely possible that at some point in the intervening years, mankind discovered a new form of fusion which relies on physiological metabolisms. We obviously don't know of such things now, but since it's in the future, and not strictly speaking impossible, it is therefore not a "plot hole."
It's unlikely, but it could happen.

Your sig makes no sense. Fonzie used a motorcycle to jump the shark.
