Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works
Patik writes "'Lord of the Rings' Director Peter Jackson is planning to film 'The Hobbit,' according to this Associated Press article. Jackson, who is currently filming 'King Kong', is waiting for New Line and MGM, the two studios with rights to the film, to battle it out for rights to make the prequel. Jackson also mentions wanting the movie to feel just like the LOTR trilogy, including having Ian McKellen return as Gandalf." (This is better than just hinting.)
Could it be?

according to him (The Two Towers) crossbows can get within range to shoot longbowman (who are at a higher elevation). Pathetic. Battle of Crecy anyone?

Who are you replying to? The first post? Can't figure out how to use the Reply to This link? And the Ian being referred to here is Ian Holm, who played Bilbo. Dolt indeed.
Does he really need that much penile enhancement?

If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
My question is how is this post, which is completely wrong and not even replied under the post it is referring to, modded at +3 Informative?!?!
And it rendered on, until the end of its days.
Manga is about as "new age" as Pat Robertson.
Oh sure, you mock us all you want but while you do it just remember that we're all sitting around trying to decide how best to prepare a single shfted....
Stew em in pot I says!
"some people really really hated what it because on some level it made them question whether their lives were empty and meaningless which is the same reason why some people like it so much."
My feelings exactly. I feel that the moral, philosophical violence in FC is FAR more affronting to the average viewer than the fist fighting. However, due to the high level of physical violence, it seems most people simple associate the film with negative/confrontation feelings and assume it was because of the punching, not the nihilsm/fascism/rebirth concepts therein.
Another thing many, many people don't seem to appreciate is that the movie and the book are *not* advocating violence as a solution - our hero's moment of realisation when Bob is killed and subsequent attempts to stop project mayhem represent his attempt at redemption.
Read Pynchon.
To be honest I'm not that big a fan of D till D either... the first half is brilliant, the second half... well, there's such a thing as taking it too far.
Did you know Chuck Palhuniak (or however you spell it)'s father was killed by a random psycho serial-killer type? He was just abducted at random and murdered. Or that his grandfather shot his grandmother while young Chuck was present and then walked around the house calling for him to come out before killing himself when he couldn't find Chuck?
No-one can accuse that guy of being a poser, anyway.
