"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.

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.

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.

No. Just outdated.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

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.
