All you Brits Out There....

Sir Taliesin · 12-10-2001, 12:12 PM

Didn't Donut say, sometime back, that the Lord of the Rings Movie was openning there today? If so, I want some feed back! A national disc Jockey (Mancow Mueller) here in the states saw a special screening last week and he said it was pretty awesome, though the end would tend to confuse people who hadn't read the book. You all give us the word, though if you pan it, I have to admit I'll still go to see it.

It is out on the 19th not otoday. [img]tongue.gif[/img] (i think)

Read the book if you haven't [img]smile.gif[/img]

And you know, there are two more films to come, so don't worry if you don't get it at first.

Lucre · 12-10-2001, 01:42 PM

Yeah, I just finished The Fellowship Of The Ring and just started The Two Towers

! One of the bestest bits is with the Balrog, poor Gandalf

Damn those orcs.

Hi, Ted! Haven't seen you in a while and just wanted to say hi!

Barb · 12-10-2001, 04:38 PM

Where I live, it's on the 18th that it opens.

Sir Taliesin · 12-10-2001, 05:07 PM

19th here. I am ready. I have read these books... at least 20 something times! When I went to Desert Storm I carried a bible, The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings with me! I'm listening to the Lord of the Rings on Books On Tape as I work now. I'm a fanatic!!!

Hey Reeka!!! Glad to see you up and around! I've been a way for a while, but I'm going to stay around more now.

It came out on the 9th as an exclusive world premier in London (last night) didn't win a ticket to see it with all the big stars

But for the public it's the 19th.

It premiered last night in London but it was only for the great and the good (of which I'm neither). Us plebs will have to wait until the 19th like the rest of you. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Here in Spain it is also the 19th. I am going to sweat blood finding a cinema that shows it in original version, though. Oh well...

The thought of hearing Gandalf saying something in a voice other than Ian Holm's or Saruman not sounding like Christopher Lee makes me shiver. I just cant stand movies that are translated. I wish there were more cinemas that showed it in O.V. and that people were less lazy and read the subtitles rather than watching some random nameless guy speak totally out of character. Maybe that way cinemas would be more sensible and put on more subtitled movies.

Here in spain 9 out of 10 theatres show the movies dubbed (translated to spanish). It really sucks cervantes ass.
