The people who loved it as kids, and still gave a shit when the prequels came out, were watching the originals, and/or the special editions, several times a year. They arent dissing from their childhood, they are dissing from last tuesday.
They are dissing from the perspective of lining them all up and having them suck from the start, and very slowly getting better, until episode 4 when it gets watchable.
Of course these idiots are failing to use the proper install protocol.
1. Watch DVD Movie.
2. Install Game.
3. Play Game.
4. Watch DVD Movie Again. (to verify DVD read functionality is intact)
5. Burn a DVD for no reason. (except to verify write functionality)
If you don't watch at least twice as many movies as you install games and waste a blank DVD each time you play a game, then you are the cause of the problem, are un-american, and the terrorists/hackers/atheists win.
The point is the folks who wanted to see what the books, all of all three books, looked like on film were less than thrilled. The folks who say "Bombadil was gay anyway" didnt care for some of the first book. The same goes for folks who didnt mind the changes and parts left out of the others, they didnt care for ALL of the books.
I meant to put "all of all three books" in the original post, but hit post instead of preview.
"If you think that Peter Jackson ruined the movies for you, why did you watch all 3? Or did you? Or are you just a troll?"
The same reason folks slow down to look at car crashes. Yeah its kind of morbid, but we just wanted to see how big the pile of bodies is. Not only was it a very tall pile, it was wide too.
Some folks figure that if they didnt like the first one and complained, then maybe they should see the rest if they were going to speak from actual experience, instead of talking about a movie they didnt see.
All Tolkien fans wanted to like the movies, those of us who loved all three of the books, just didnt like PJ's production very much.
You liked it I assume. Did you bother to go see all three of the movies, or are you basing your idea of the last two movies from the first one? I wasnt sure PJ was really going to screw it up until the last one. I wanted to like them so much I ignored the changes in the first two because he was supposed to be fixing it all for the DVD special editions.
Isnt it terrible when the thing you like so much is hated by others who seem more invested in the thing than you are? Like they think they are so much better than you are. Well we dont, so you can start getting over it now.
Dude, Priest was not a hair metal band check Sad Wings of Destiny if you think otherwise. They were a primary metal band from when the term heavy metal still meant you werent getting played on the radio and your fans didnt have the cash to buy your records. They existed through the "hair metal" years and were pressed by their record company into doing the lame hairband look, and yes, even making a hair metal album. They survived hair metal, they were not glam band, they acted like one for a few years, that's all.
I'll assume you know Halford is with the band again.
And kudos for the choice referance, right on the money.
There are some people who will find fun in hacking and activating them on cars that are not stolen. Like your girlfriend's ex boyfriend. Enjoy your date.
What we need is biometric genetal scanning. At least then we would have something interesting to look at/avert your eyes from, while waiting to be humiliated ourselves.
You might have to do some of those things, but I, being smarter than the average bear (and not living in a city) would put an outlet/pump outside my house right next to the driveway where I park my car. The switch/valve would be in the garage so nobody could drive by and fill up on my dime.
Might not work for you but for most home owners or house renters I think it would work great.
As for you never being in one of the situations I gave as examples, does that mean those things NEVER happen to ANYONE?
Dude, if I could get safe gasoline piped into my house then I would be happy to use a hose to get it all the way out to my car. Consider the convenience of fueling up without waiting in line for the pump, without worry that some asshole on a celphone will run you over when you walk in to pay, without waiting in line while some dickhead screws with writing a paper check to pay for his one pack of smokes, without getting short changed by the clerk or involved in a hold up.
Shit man I can think of lots of reasons dragging a hose or cable to the curb is better than always having to go to a public service station. The fact that you already have an electric bill just sweetens the deal.
The tests aren't too see how effective or safe the weapons are those tests have been done a long time ago, this stuff is fairly nondamaging. They are needing the testing to see if we will allow it do be done to OTHERS. Any others will do, but pain in the ass protestors will be a good place to start.
The nice thing for them is that these sci-fi weapons are a non deadly way to force compliance from a distance, and maybe without any evidence, perhaps giving no evidence while it's happening. Lots of cool targets if they can keep us from jumping out of the pot this time.
Too many blacks, slackers, and old fart looking folks showing up at the polls? Send in the Radar Secret Service (R-SS) Van and just watch that progressive landslide turn into a conservative lockstep.
Got a political rival who is sleeping a bit too well? Just use a R-CIA (Remote Comfort Inhibitor Array) and watch his composure, credibility and constituency fail as the sandman is kept far from nocturnal his tasks.
Finding it hard to tolerate the protestor mobs gathering in public, giving and listening to anti-American speeches? Well just a few short authoritative bursts of the new R-SOS (Radiant Sonic Opressor/Supressor) can either render them unable to hear a speaker while in suppression mode, to actually solving the problem by permanently switching off the auditory capability of the offending group in full power Oppression mode.
Screw the media mind control, just achieve compliance by applying new wonder brand "persuasion" enhancers.
Orwell would never have been so cruel as to give these toys to The Party.
Now you can have them at your very next party function.

What the hell? Who are these Electronic Consumers? What size batteries do they run on? How the hell did they become associated?
And what can a normal human do to stop them?
My mom needs her medicine, I'm sure that's what these robots are really after.
"Why train if you are infallible?"
Maybe this explains our fearless leader's missing service time in the national guard.
It is offset though by the fact that more of our laws are being written, passed and enforced by them too.

Well I am another of those four people. So the other two of us must be here somewhere.
Ditched Bombadil, and the return to the Shire, really the last several chapters of the trillogy, but wants to do a film based on, nothing.
My only hope is that Bill and Ted show up to hijack Bilbo and Gollum for use in their highschool English Lit. class.
And he wants to give you a cool new "party hat" to wear to the "2 minutes hate".
Shouldn't that be Grand Moff (muff?) Bush?
You are referancing episode four. No Emperor in that one.
Maybe they should ask Yves Rossy how he did it... a year or so ago.
