>Frodo, did I ever tell you about Alfrid Lickspittle , a servant to the Master of Laketown, in TA 2941. And later he assisted Bard during The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and had more screentime than me and Gandalf. He was created by Peter Jackson and was basically a clone of Wormtongue. He later dresses as a woman and hides in a catapult attached to a dead Troll. However, one of Alfrid's coins slips off his corset and falls on the catapult lever. The coin acts as counterweight, throwing Alfrid inside the troll's mouth. Both Alfrid and the troll are asphyxiated, He was a good friend

Tolkien uses pipeweed to mean tobacco. He calls it pipeweed because he wasn't sure if it made sense that early medieval England would have pipeweed, the same reason he never actually calls potatoes anything other than 'taters, the idea being that it could just be something fictional and separate.

What is it with Jackson and EE scenes making Gandalf look like a pussy. First it was ROTK and getting BTFO by the Witch King. Now it's this and his staff running out of battery (???) and then getting tired after 30 seconds of dodging (didn't he run for several minutes straight 50 years later in Moria?) and giving up and almost dying to a random troll?

Also there's no reason that coin should have activated the mechanism only after is was laying flat, it was exerting the same force when it was on its side

A better question would be; why is it that ROTK had the only extended sequences that subtracted from the movies?

>Gimli and Legolas drinking scene being really over-the-top and silly, even being the opposite of what canonically happens to elves and dwarves when they drink.
>Extended ghost scene ends on "We fight." instead of "What say you?", removing an aspect of tension.
>Witch King v Gandalf completely messing up Gandalf's character and missing the whole point of the confrontation in the books.

Most of the added scenes are still good (Saruman, expanding upon other characters), but those ones really stick out as being bad, and the EEs of FOTR and TTT didn't have any scenes that detracted from the originals to such a degree.

Elan stole the University of Coruscant's medical supplies and sold them to the gangster Hat Lo. He became a slythmonger, and specialized in death sticks, selling to anyone who would buy. He eventually became addicted to his own product, although his Balosar physiology protected him from the drug's harsher side effects.

In 22 BBY, he offered to sell rancor nail blades to Jango Fett, and attempted to sell death sticks to Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi two nights later. After being mind tricked by Kenobi in the Outlander Club, he went home and completely rethought his life. He managed to break his death stick addiction and swore off the slythmonger business, but soon enough slipped back into his old criminal ways, becoming involved in the trade of other, non-chemical illegalities, such as weapons and stolen goods. However, he still sold "the finest deathsticks in the galaxy, one hundred percent pure". Nearly three years after his encounter with Kenobi, Elan helped Boba Fett during an adventure on Coruscant, in which he ferried Boba around the city (all the while trying to sell Boba various illegal wares) and provided him with a saberdart, which Boba Fett used in his failed assassination attempt against Mace Windu.

After the end of the Clone Wars, Sel'Sabagno had once more changed his ways, and was seeking to turn others from the path of illicit drug use. While handing out pamphlets in the lower levels, he bumped into fugitive Jedi Drake Lo'gaan and Zonder, and was knocked aside by a clone trooper who was pursuing the pair. After this encounter, he once more reflected that he needed to rethink his life.

Why was this cut? I mean if the answer is "because it's fucking awful" then why leave in the rest of Alfrid's horrible shitty scenes? And if they get left in, why do you then cut the resolution? In the theater release there's no pay off at all to the character.

People are comparing him to Jar Jar, but that's completely unfair. Jar Jar has a complete character arc.

They're on equal footing for awfulness. And while Hackson has to take a lot of blame for the way they turned out, the studio rushing ahead with the movies knowing Hackson had no time to work on them was the biggest reason why. Lucas had all the time in the world and personally oversaw everything, so he's the only one to blame.

Elves and Dwarves fighting each other before the orcs show up, with the dwarves employing battle goats and these flying spinning things that negate all arrows launched against them.

That chariot scene from the first few trailers which has spiked rims that cut up every orc/troll/warg that hits them, which gives the movie an R rating.

Bofur climbing aboard that blind troll with mace arms and taking control of the reigns to wreck shit.

Bifur gets stuck in an orc when he headbutts it stuck-axe-piece first. Bofur and Bombur have to pull him apart and this finally dislodges the thing. Bombur gets to talk and offers the axe-head back to Bifur, who finally speaks in english and tells him to throw that shit away.

20 more seconds of bear Beorn wrecking shit. Documentary in the extras shows animatics of him mauling a troll, but that didn't make it.

Bilbo planting an acorn in the battlefield to symbolize life will come back to Dale after all this shit to give Gandalf and Bard hope again when the battle's bad.

Thorin's funeral. Documentaries show this would have been longer with a eulogy from Gandalf reciting that "The King has come unto his halls" bit from the book.

>Never watched a LotR movie.

You should definitely watch the LOTR trilogy, extended editions if possible. They're some of, if not easily the best fantasy movies ever made, especially Fellowship. Watch them on the biggest screen you have access to, the special effects have largely held up.

Great winter movies, they originally came out on Christmas of '01-'03, are ~4 hours each extended, and are comfy as fuck.

Does any other movie's special features have so much content? It's nuts how much they put into those extra DVDs, if I recall correctly it's 30+ hours of content, covering everything from costume design to sound to the life of JRR Tolkien, plus pretty much all of the concept art.

>>63183693

The sheer amount of Hobbit apologists you get on YT make me sad. Even more that they try and insult the CGI or whatever changes they made for LotR to try and drag it down to the Hobbit's level. By no means are these good films, and the amount of "the CGI is super advanced Jackson shot it at a higher FPS you idiots just don't get it" is mind-boggling.

The parallels with the SW prequels just write themselves.

This is something movies always go full retard on.

Every fucking movie. Every fucking time. Someone's choking someone else until the person being choked goes limp, and then they let go because they're "dead."
You don't fucking die from passing out. You die from eventual brain damage. You'd have to choke someone for a good 15 minutes minimum to kill them.

This even happens in the Lord of the Rings, where Smeagol chokes the other hobbit.

You have to be a literal retard to continue this "choking kills people instantly" meme.
