Return of the King Wins Four Golden Globes

Posted by timothy on from the thank-all-the-little-people dept.

stubear writes "According to MSNBC, 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' won 4 Golden Globes, for Best Picture - Drama, Best Director (Peter Jackson), Best Original Score (Howard Shore), and Best Original Song ("Into the West" by Howard Shore, Fran Walsh and Annie Lennox). LotR: RotK was the big winner for the night, at least for movies. Hopefully LotR: RotK will fare just as well, or better, at the Oscars."

    Come now. The end of TT was *far* more homoerotic. "Tell me more about Samwise the Brave, Mister Frodo"?

    Frodo and Sam didn't even end *up* together and they left out the part where Sam goes to Valinor too (although admittedly that's an appendix.)

    Why do my fellow /.'s rail against the hijacking of copyright by BigMedia(tm) and then turn around and drool, wet themselves and fawn all over the products from said BigMedia(tm)?

    We should all be working to bring Copyright back in line with Patent. 17 years. If you can't capitalize on your IP, of WHATEVER flavor, within 17 years, you are lazy or a dumbass.

    Reply with which one (1, 2, or 3) that you liked best and why.

    I liked fellowship of the ring (#1) best since it was more supsensful since it was only 9 of them trying to get to rivendale vs. all the evil hordes of monsters (including the ring wraiths that only seemed to be in #1 too).

    #1 reminded me of Eye of the World by Robert Jordan for similar reasons, them tring to reach sanctuary with many bad people chasing them.

    This tolkien guy? JRR Tolkien is dead. Learn your history and the man behind the stories before you DARE second guess the reasoning and storyline of the trilogy.

    I think that the original poster was trying (unsuccessfully) to be sarcastic. Calm down :)

    Just like to point out that Tolkien was referring to the two monuments in Birmingham, his home town.

    It's good to see you still post here, although you don't seem to think highly of Slashdot. I hope you will help us reach enlightenment in the futur, and forgive us all our sin.

    I am also offended as an Englishman. As a nation we were appalled with the attacks on the Twin Towers (Note, not the Two Towers) and we have suffered enough terrorist attacks ourselves (although admittedly, not on this scale) over the years to be extremely sensitive to the victims of ANY terrorist attack (bali, etc).
    I'd like to point out that the total body count from the IRA is actually about the same as from the 9/11 bombings (c. 3000), although they took about 40 years to get to the same level.

    Considering that the IRA got most of their funding from the US (specifically from the greater Boston area, where I used to live), I think that the PP is being quite compassionate. And to the credit of the US people, IRA funding from the US dried up within days of the attacks.
