The Lord of the Rings is back

[Robceltsfan]

I am aware now. I was simply saying that hearing that Gollum would have been alive if this was a sequel to ROTK wouldn't have been that crazy to me, given it's a fantasy world.

They're not bringing Gollum back to life, the story isn't post-ROTK, and the Hobbit movies were great and huge successes.

Disagree about the hobbit movies. No mention of Tom bombadil is wild, and way too reliance on cgi. One of the best things about LOTR was each orc, goblin, etc had its own individual set of armor made for it, not the crappy cgi the hobbit used. Rohan was built from the ground up, the interior of helms deep as well, it was amazing. I’m surprised they aren’t using the silmarillion for a new movie, way more interesting and plot relevant than hunting golem, but I’m sure Peter Jackson will make it decent.

It's true that the Hobbit movies were visually hideous CGI-fests and not even a fraction as good as LotR, but I still enjoyed them a lot.

I think the casting was pretty damn good and they hit the most nostalgic scenes really well like floating down in the barrels and the trolls arguing scene

Armitage was great as Thorin.

The weird go pro shots in the barrel scene semi killed it for me, it was so distracting. But the Smaug sequence was absolute perfection imo

[PhutureDynasty]

Nothing crazy about the video but a nice reminder.

The GOAT trilogy. Period.

[Shill Jackson]

We assumed Gandalf died, yes.

We watched Gollum die.

It's not that farfetched to you if they said Gollum was somehow alive?

It's a fantasy world with magic.

Surviving after falling into lava? Way too unrealistic...

Agreed!

No way!

I named my new dog brego after the horse that saved Aragorn. I hate having to explain it to people but I like the name

Great name.

What kinda dog?

Malanois. Highly recommend not getting one of these. I love him and he’s a ton of fun, but if you don’t have the time or energy to take care of them, I could see them being an absolute menace. He’s too smart for his own good

How big is your Mutt. FWIW. I call my Schnauzers mutts all the time. So it not a bad thing. And yes I have to take the dogs to the dog park daily, or else they drive me nuts.

Picked him up from the shelter. Brother in law saw a post on Facebook that he was gonna be dropped off there and I jumped on the opportunity. His littermates went for 2k a piece so I got lucky. He’s 7 months old and a little over 50 pounds

Nice.

Seems you have your hands full but are up for the task.

He’s at the age where he’s ready for some serious training.
I got a tip with my first Aussie to use different hand commands with each verbal command. Gives their brain extra to work on. When my Aussie started losing his hearing, he’d still respond to the hand commands.

Yeah I’ve been incorporating verbal and visual commands. We work with search and rescue dogs, but he’s not allowed to be a part of the program until he’s a year old. He should be pretty well trained by that point
