  • The Hobbit (trilogy)

    I love the LotR trilogy, just so well done. I knew De Toro started the Hobbit and I was hyped! Then he departed and it was a bit concerning, but Jackson was coming to the rescue so it couldn’t be that bad, right?

    It did not need to be a trilogy. Adding more characters who are women was a good idea, but doing it for a romance subplot was stupid. Legolas didn’t need to be included at all, there were enough characters already and another dude didn’t help out.

    Then there was the inconsistent tone, the stupid barrel ride crap and goblin caves super mario scene and the whole thing missed the point of the book which was about a bunch of bumbling dwarves, most of which were past their prime, hiring a hobbit to be a spy to raid a dragon horde. Instead we got superhero dwarves doing outrageous stunts and a ton of side characters padding out a trilogy.

    Ugh.




  • The response to it as bait is that anyone saying that seriously is an idiot.

    If you are referring to this:

    Once she was done, I say to her “Let’s get you out of that wet dress. I imagine it must be uncomfortable. I’ve never actually worn a wet dress before”.

    That is just someone who blurts out a thought they had after saying something else, pretty common with ADHD. Like at first they were thinking about wet shorts, which can get pretty uncomfortable fast if they aren’t made to get wet, then realized dresses might not have the same feeling since they aren’t connected in the middle. I could absolutely see myself saying something along these lines depending on the material of the clothing and the appearance of how it sticks to the body.

    If you mean the wife’s reaction then asking her would be necessary because I have no idea where she is coming from that would make something like that sound sexist.

    The original “pillow talk”-scene had Marla saying “I want to have your abortion”. When this was objected to by Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin, David Fincher said he would change it on the proviso that the new line couldn’t be cut. Ziskin agreed and Fincher wrote the replacement line, “I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school”. When Ziskin saw the new line, she was even more outraged and asked for the original line to be put back, but, as per their deal, Fincher refused.

    Also, the actress didn’t know grade school in the US is 6-12 years old as she is from outside the US. She didn’t find out until afterwards and was very unhappy about saying it.
