Is there a way to block all these constant LotR posts?

Tolkien was an author who would spend 50 pages describing the characters walking, and 3 pages to describe a great battle.

I do prefer The Hobbit trilogy to the Lord of the Rings'

I met a clerk once. Seemed like he was distracted. And quoting a different movie. I didn’t want to bother him.

Randal would have liked it more, if there were more chicks with dicks in it. Chicks with dicks that put his to shame. He's a simple man.

Just watched Joe Vs the volcano for the first time tonight. Interesting moving about a dude who just walked into a volcano.

Jeff Anderson is a hoot!

Still better than Joe Versus the Volcano (1990).

You realize this movie came out right around the time Fitbit needed a stock bumpe

Clerks 2 came out in 2006. Fitbit was first released in 2007

Damn you fact checker!

I'm mean tbf they did simply walk into Mordor.
Fawin
Well, 2 of them anyway. But to be fair, they fought a giant fucking spider. Orcs should have carried them to Mt. Doom on that alone. Fuck Sauron, you guys are hardcore as fuck! All hail the new Kings of Mordor!

Yea turned out you could simply walk in.

Yes
SlyMrFox
...of the Living Dead?
malakim
Honestly? Yes. The hobbit should have been one movie, two tops. The fucking book is what, 250 pages?
WilliamHuskerAdama
Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogy are two very very different things
Mithelen
They don't go to a volcano in the hobbit. This movie came out pre-hobbit movies. He's talking about lotr.
xizar
There's a reason for that. If you'd care to, search "lindsay ellis hobbit a long-expected autopsy" to learn more.

Even the trees walked in those movies.

This is so fucking based lol. I've tried twice to watch the first one and literally fell asleep both times. I just don't get it I guess 🤷🏻♀️
HighSorcerer
They're long movies, you need to start at 9am. If you start them after dinner you've already lost.

Even as someone who enjoys the LOTR movies I fuckin *howled* at this in the theater.

Hey, where's the mop? I made fun of Lord of the Rings so hard I made some Uber-dork hurl. I wanna make Elias clean it up.

I’ve had Mooby’s One Onion Ring to Rule Them All. They’re pretty good.

lackinglife
I mean he isn't wrong.
Though it turns out Tolkien fucking loved hikes and even taking short walks with him was torturous, as he would stop and look at every flower, tree, and walk. So a ten minute walk would easily take an hour.
So the man of course wrote an incredibly long saga about walking.
bladderinfection
I could dig it. That pace will let me set my beer down while I roll a forest fatty for us.
hydrocarbon82
Sounds like a walk with my dog. I gave up and just brought a book lol.
Sunshine12345
Dude, that just sounds like taking my dog for a walk and him wanting to sniff and look at every damn thing. It takes forever to go just a single mile.
TheyreIllusionsMichael
GRRM loves food, so a chapter from Song of Ice and Fire is usually 15 pages of describing a breakfast, then someone gets murdered
evenlessoriginalthanthat
In the forward they talked about how he wanted to see how long of a book he could write and it shows he rambles on about nothing for pages
DJudy
Plus he invented another language on that walk.
irmonkey
Wait, so was Mordor actually about an hours walk from the Shire then?
MapleSyrupMafia
Hobbits have tiny legs...
Krustation137
There's even a walk near where I live called the Tolkien Trail, dude loved the countryside.
gnomedeplume
they had to walk so much because they were taking an artifact of great power into the heart of Sauron's territory and had to do so without drawing the attention of his forces that were spread out across the land
Badprenup
Yeah but they only had to do that because JRR (Just Roamin' 'Round) Tolkien wrote it that way.
heartlessninja6
theghostwholurks
He would have fucking loved Death Stranding then.
randomwalrus
Aside from the story, and characters, I rather enjoyed the using devices and tools to solve puzzles in that game. Until it got out of hand.
Radix865
I rather enjoyed the story and some of the characters as well, they were weird in the Kojima way. But yeah, I definitely enjoyed building shortcuts to annoying locations and just doing the postman job the most.
Arcanum3000
I would've enjoyed the story and characters more had someone other than Kojima done the writing. I don't need an hour of Kojima talking at me, mostly repeating himself, and mostly telling me things I figured out six hours ago.
randomwalrus
Kojima really does seem to think that he is the smartest person in the room (world) and that he has to over-explain each and every one of his dumb ideas to people, again and again. His writing would be fine, if he did not take six hours to explain something everybody figures out in under a minute.

Something similar happened with Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon. He grew up wanting to be an entomologist so used to catch different types of bugs. As he grew up and saw Japan become more urbanized, he wanted to give other kids a similar experience.
L4dead2
First Pokémon game I played was silver. Game made me feel so adventurous. I wish I could get that feeling back. Adulting sucks
jethroismaxbaer5772
He also came up with the concept of trading Pokemon because of Dragon Quest 2. He played and played trying to get a rare item but couldn't get it, finds out his friend had 2 of them and said man, I wish we could trade items.
SmoeAhsolse
Wait, are you saying he started catching kids?
SneakyGaryTheSerialHorseDrowner
Well yeah explains where he got the idea for the evil-type and why it's called that in the Japanese versions.
MeekrabJones
Honestly, ghost type Pokemon have much more fucked up dex entries than dark types.
