i believe the Xbox is the only *n£xt gen* console to get this game.
the film is only the first book, what a clever marketing decision....many sequels.

There's a game???

And you don't know that much about it, do you?
They're shooting the three films back to back... Cool, huh?

I'm absolutely DYING to see 'em...

chernobyl

Karl Hungus

I never accused you of lying!!!

Don't look at me like that...

No...

...

STOP IT!!!

I just never heard anything about it, thats all...

chernobyl

i forgot to add a " " so that came out wrong.sorry.
that game will shift many xbox's, but i dont think the *average* sony user will care as im gonna stereotype them as being too casual ( as gamers ) and therefore not the type that would read "lord of the rings".

I haven't seen the trailer but here's a rumour I heard....

The battle scenes were done using AI for each individual warrior on the battlefield, and they had to redo loads of the battles because the bad guys kept winning.

I saw the trailer in the movies and when Bilbo said "Is the ring safe Gandalf" all I could imagine was Gandalf saying "STFU N00b" (Anyone who's played MMORPG's will relate).

This is from another board.

Oh my god Hobbes.. LOL ROFL LOL ROFLMAO LOL!! Possibly the funniest thing I've ever read (being a UO'r and all) - I've got a Tom Bombadil and a gandalf on my ICQ.

[edit]Almost forgot to mention the trailer. It really looks like it might do the book some justice. Gave the shivers with the thought of the film being of epic proportion[/edit]

It's just a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.

Quality Hobbes!

I don't want to see the trailers - I saw one of the early ones with a big dirty CGI scene of a squillion Orkses coming over a hill - dead good!

cannot wait.

All the best!

Figment

I have seen it again recently and I thought the cartoon was brilliant. Great character voices and animation. It was let down towards the end though when it lost track of the characters and just followed the action, by the end of which you didn't care as much. And given the trend of big budget Hollywood films, the new one is in serious danger of doing the same.

I'd like to sound deep, but fun like a fruit pie but not as sugary. A sour fruit pie. I'm in the process of unravelling the greater and lesser meaning of things, casting aside society's assumptions and expectations in a bid to become an original thinker/writer, but possibly in the process turning into a bit of a cliché.

Karl Hungus

I don't think that's possible, LittleFigment, well, at least not with Peter Jackson directing the film(s).

Anyone who has seen his previous films will know that he's not going to make a pearl harbour out of it.

He's one of the few original directors working in the mainstream.
It's basicaly just him, the Coen Brothers, Tim Burton, and Terry Gilliam.

Trust me, it won't be a ****-up.

I think he's talking about the LotR animated movie which was indeed sucky.

I doubt very much many people know who plat3dewd and b0n3dewd are.
