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.
I saw this bloody movie yesterday, sat in the theatre for 3 hours and some change and then the movie people fucked up, and I didn't get to see the end. THREE HOURS! At least I got my money back.

Doesn't inspire trust in mySQL if it can't keep up with this little load.
Idiot.

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.
Who is John Cabal?
Now that was a mistake...
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.

Actually, if you read Gandalf's Memoirs of a White Guy, you would know that Gandalf tried to get ahold of the Eagles to do just that, but they had a home game that week and could not spare the time. Andy Reid is a real hard-ass about practice time. By the time the Eagles had been knocked out of the playoffs, Frodo was already all the way to Mt. Doom, and had completed his mission before they could arrive. The actual moral to the story that Tolkien intended was: "Don't wait for mystical giant football players to do your job, trick someone small and innocent into doing it for you instead."
Your sig makes no sense. Fonzie used a motorcycle to jump the shark.
