Going to see Lord of The Rings on Friday night.
Now, I'm torn.
I really want to like this film. I've loved Peter Jackson's stuff previous, Bad Taste rocks ("nobody f**ks with a Derek!") and Heavenly Creatures was excellent.
However.
I hate, and I mean hate with gritted teeth and balled fists, all things Fantasy.
The moment I hear elves and pixies being mentioned, I want to smash those stupid little lead D&D figures up and tell those people to get laid and a suntan.
I've read LOTR. It was a slog from start to finish, but it's one of those things you just have to read. It's almost law.
I just found it really dull to keep hearing about Smeagol and Thwapminge, son of Flapspuncher The Gremlin and stuff.
RPG games wind me up something chronic, I just see beardy loners hunched over those landscape boards in Games Workshop eating their sandwiches and arguing about whether an orc could defeat a sun-pixie armed with the spell of virginty.
I want to run in and set fire to them.
However, this movie has had 100% positive reviews and I love movies.
So I am going, knowing I hate wizards and goblins and hairy-feet midgets that talk of ale and smoke pipes all day long.
I just hope I can set aside my loathing of beardy folk and enjoy this movie.
It has a lot to do to convince me though, the trailers look cool but already I have seen hairy toed dwarves, a wizard armed with his magic staff.
And, regardless of what the movie is like, just look at Sean Astin who plays Bellend or Mashnob or whatever his name is.
He was Mikey in The Goonies and jesus christ has he porked out now.
I just keep wanting to prod his rotund frame and say "Mikey?"
Still, might be a good movie.
I hope I see boobs.

I should charge for this stuff, it's comedy gold.

I ain't cool.
Man, you take this beardy wizard stuff seriously eh?
Looks like a good movie if I can past the hairy-feet midgets.

Astin plays samwise Gamgee, the only LotR character that I HATE! Loathe his gay little escapades with Frodo.
Go and see it. I'm not as cool as you Goaty, obviously, but I still think you'll enjoy it. And you can dance with the fairy folk under the moon.

Chewbacca didn't have boobs. He was fantasy too, you know.
Good luck on liking it anywho, I'll have to make the hundred mile journey to my local cinema soon.

Some of Tolkien is quite dark, and the problem I can see with LOTR is the need for the commercial-success-guaranteed PG certificate.
From what I've read it really pushes the PG boundaries, but I'm wondering whether that will be enough for the next two films. Film makers shouldn't compromise the plot for the sake of getting the money out of the parents of 11 year olds.
Still, I'm going to see it on Friday and it looks like it's going to be good.
