people just love to lie. like there's so much wrong here that is nowhere fucking near how it is pronounced jesus christ !! Like I get that it's kind of hard to explain to someone how the 'ng' sounds (it's the same as the end of running, btw) but. then it would at least be NOH-roo-ho-ee. like most people pronounce it wrong but you're not even pretending to try here

second, that's SIR Peter Jackson to you. those movies were so phenomenal that he got knighted, so show some respect.

rewatching the two towers because jackson’s version of the battle of helm’s deep absolutely SCRATCHES the itch in my silly little fantasy brain

Today has sure been a day for announcements!

Firstly that Tom is going to play Sir Edmund Hillary in a new film (which means he's going to be doing a New Zealand accent and I am so excited!!!)

They've announced two new films set in Middle Earth will be produced by Peter Jackson in Wellington, first one directed by Andy Serkis who will also be playing Gollum again.

And lastly, a sixth scale figure of Loki in his green outfit from the finale of season 2 of the series was announced by Hot Toys. This one seems to have a really good likeness to Tom.

So much goodnesssssssss! 💚💛💚

"But they . . . they . . . are . . . are naked!"

"Well, naturally. It's much too dangerous to jump through the fire with your clothes on."

Sir Christopher Lee is a gem in this movie. In drag and out.

Still wishing the Jackson is Peter’s son plotline into existence. Need me a funky little after credits scene where Jackson takes Peter and his own blood for a blood test thingy just for funsies and has an absolute breakdown that leads into the Kanima Arc

The Beatles - Now And Then (Official Music Video)

I don’t have words because of deeply personal reasons, HOWEVER I’m deeply addicted to watching “Now and Then Reaction Videos” right now and that’s sort of healing. You should do that, we should all hug it out and laugh together and maybe get a little dewy eyed.

“The Last Beatles Song” everybody, what a time to be alive.

I am almost entirely charmed by the Hobbit Trilogy of movies (especially in their extended edition form as there a some truly wonderful scenes that are unnecessary but lovely nonetheless)

Except for one glaring issue. It's not some of the poorly done cg (Azog the Defiler my beloathed) or the unnecessary main villian (Azog the Defiler my beloathed) or the commitment to the Trilogy structure (frankly it could have only been two)

It's how completely uninvolved Sir Ian McKellen looks in every scene.

If you didn't know, due to scheduling, Sir Ian couldn't be on set and instead shot almost exclusively on green screen by himself. He was completely miserable and came close to breaking down over it. It shows through in his acting. Most shots without his face are a stand in and wide shots including him are superimposed in post.

As an actor I cannot imagine how awful that experience is, how isolated you would feel.

He's spent his whole life doing acting among his peers and suddenly he's stuck shooting a trilogy, in a series he is a staple in, by himself. How does one even reenter the headspace of a beloved character you have fond memories shooting as, on some of the most gorgeous sets and locations on earth and among amazing actors mind you, completely by yourself?

I will never not be mad about how Sir Ian McKellen was treated by the Hobbit. But I can still see the beauty of the rest of the work. Truly, Peter Jackson knocked it out of the park. Unfortunately one of the greatest actors of our age was mistreated in the process. It's impossible to be perfect. I can recognize that. I just wish it didn't have to be this way because it didn't.

[a-great-tragedy]

Our english teacher made us watch Percy Jackson, the movies (I cried when she announced it) here are my thoughts

Dear god it’s worse than I remember

Perce is a terrible nickname

Why did they make Grover a player?? He’s not a player!!

“This is a pen. A pen!”

He didn’t even kill Mrs. Dodds???

The fact that he just didn’t react at all when his mom dies

Why is Percy sword fighting Annabeth, he’s supposed to be on her team??

Chiron just watching Percy getting beaten the shit out of by Annabeth, Sir you are in charge here!!

And then he laughs when Percy knocks a kid to the ground. The favoritism is alive and burning

The way they never established Luke and Annabeth’s friendship

Why did they make it about the pearls, it wasn’t about the pearls

Highway to hell, okay I can work with this

“I used to date your daddy.” why?? Was this supposed to be comedic relief?? It just made me uncomfortable

Why is Medusa flirting with him? wtf

A truck??

why are they keeping the head in the bathroom

In the books they never visited the Parthenon why was that added?

Plz, I prefer the inaccurate Louis Arch thing than this

Grover is jumping to conclusions

They said the shoes would be hard to use and then he preceded to use them correctly on the first try

The graphics are killing me

Annabeth literally never touched a bow in the books but okay

Annabeth’s dagger erasure

Annabeth’s personality erasure

So they could have just used the head the whole time to kill them?? This is the most pointless-

I WANNA HOLD EM LIKE THEY DO IN TEXAS PLEASE

Why are they doing drugs??

FOLD EM LET EM HIT ME RAISE IT BABY STAY WITH ME

Why did Grover become a sheep there for a second

LOVE GAME INTUITION PLAY THE CARDS WITH THE SPADES TO START

That poor lady that just carries Grover’s crutches around 😭

AND AFTER HE’S BEEN HOOKED UP PLAY THE ONE THAT’S ON HIS HEART

Get it Grover I guess??

Why did Poseidon wait so long to tell Percy about the hotel?? He’s a god, he could’ve told him at any point in time, why wait?

stealing a car is sooo piper of them

WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING

why is the underworld in Hollywood, it’s genuinely annoying me.

Now why is Grover being the dumb one

Persephone flirting with Grover is the worst thing that has happened so far

why is hades evil, he’s just a depressed old man

Why?

Not them just leaving Grover behind

They forgetting Percy has a fatal flaw

and a personality

Everything about this fight is uncomfortable

“I’m pretty sure I’m the son of Poseidon” whatever Peter Johnson

How is Luke supposed to live after that?

Someone yelled “HE’S DEAD” Immediately after

Why do the gods look like that???

They are supposed to be dressed modern

nothing about this is right

Worst part is that Gabe didn’t die

I didn’t pay attention after Gabe didn’t die so I have no other thoughts

This movie deserves jail time

I’m so glad we got another adaptation
