Best In The World: "Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth." - Publilus Syrus

Ppl are going mad nutz fo this thing but I gotz 2 admit that I'm approaching this wit a modicum of caution. Remember tha star wars pre-quills? Bros were lined up down tha alley fo weeks 2 say that & we all kno how that turned out. I kno Peter Jaxson worked hard on tha OG trilogy but that's when he was broke & hungry. Now he's got swag so he want's 2 make tha paper w/ these half hearted $ grabs. If these fat catz in h-wood want my $ they should make a sequal ta 300 called 301. Or a pre-quill called 299. Whatevs.


You idiot! You've just used up Fark's weekly allotment of bathos! And we still have three more days to go...

What if it was just one dwarf with six axes?

Bret McKenzie (of Flight of the Conchords) said he's in it, and has some lines.

So add him to the list too!

I didn't jack shiat, bro. That's just like my opinion, dude. +1 if u kno what movie that quite iz from. I'm not 2 excited 4 this Hobbit cuz I been burned in the past. Thankfully Red Tails lives up 2 tha hype.

Fark performance artists are kind of irritating. But the rage they inspire is kind of funny.

That's why I favorited him in green. In his ghetto/urban type posts are usually something germane to the topic, and odd little tidbits that make me think he isn't posting from a comp in Compton. But the accompanying anger in any thread he hits can be hilarious.

Wettner: I am not familiar with Ain't It Cool News, but is the website design a joke?

Yes. Not an intentional one but yes. To say its web design is circa 1999 is being generous. And the people who contribute to the Talkbacks make the worst trolls on Fark look like the Algonquin Round-table. I check in to the site maybe once a week because it used to be a source of really new movie news and "spy reports" but now it's really just guys paid off by the studios to promote shiat.

Wettner: I am not familiar with Ain't It Cool News, but is the website design a joke?

No. Just outdated. Harry the Hutt created it in 1996 and never felt the need to update the design. His reviews range It's a decent site, but I recommend sticking with reading only Quint, Nordling and/or Massawyrm. Harry Knowles is very masturbatory in his own reviews. And this review is a must read for its sheer WTF value.

I don't even care about its shiatty design. It's really turned into more of a news aggregated site. "Hey, Dark Horizons just posted this scoop!". Bought and paid for by the studios and Amazon.com. At least fark tells us when there's a sponsored link and the people are more civil.

""Free love, so bound, were freëst," said the King.
"Let love be free; free love is for the best" - Tennyson

Surely these plays of dwarves (who are most assuredly a mocking reference to the Scots, whom I shall toss out from a pub forthwith) cannot stand up to the Idylls of the King by the great Tennyson, whose prose fills both my heart and my shelves! Verily I would pay at least 10 shillings to watch a moving picture show of The Last Tournament, or perhaps be convinced to witness a dramatic re-telling of The Passing of Arthur, provided the theatre would not permit the street urchins and ruffians from laughing at the copious number of tears I would surely shed!

I have nothing to say about him being in the Hobbit, but I really, really loved Journey To The Edge of the World. It honestly made me very proud of my home.


Also, why do people try to frickin' hard to get attention on Fark? It's pathetic. And if you're going to go with the same shtick every time, at least be clever about it.

Interesting. IMDB still lists Brian Blessed as Dain Ironfoot, (rumored). I guess we'll see.

Are there any Yanks in this flick?

Martin Freeman
Ian McKellen
Benedict Cumberbatch
Billy Connolly
Andy Serkis
James Nesbitt
Luke Evans
Stephen Fry
Christopher Lee
Cate Blanchett
Ian Holm
Orlando Bloom
Jordan Prentice
Warwick Davis
Peter Dinklage
Martin Henderson (Google him)

and

Elijah Wood?

True, but it's worth it for Quint's interviews alone. The guy knows how to get actors and directors to open up more than any other internet film geek out there.

This. I check in to it maybe about once a month for any Doctor Who news, but that's the only motivation.

And yes, their website is Grade-A crap.

I believe he was already in RotK as one of the Elves that is accompanying Arwen to the Grey Havens.
