TheEAR Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Egg McMuffin...you should watch the movie Supersize Me and realise you are transforming your liver into mush! I banned fast food junk a year ago and feel great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skonopa Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Well, I did buy the movie Tuesday morning on the way down to the outer banks in North Carolina. I only finally got back last night. The outer banks are friggan awesome! Anyway, yes, we (I was with three of my friends) did watch Return of the King while there in the outer banks. That sorry, crappy $50 Wally*World surround-sound setup they had there in that house just did not do this movie justice. I sat there most of the time thinkg, "Man, this would sound so awesome on my own system! I cannot friggan wait to watch it at home". This upcoming Saturday (The 5th), I'll be hosting a LOTR marathon. I've had some of my friends asking me if I was going to do one, since everybody seems to want to watch it at my place (Gee, I wonder why? ).

chuckears Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 ...Having niece, nephews, and neighbors over on Memorial Day for a trilogy viewing. Lots of popcorn, chips, veggies, and fruit all ready to go. I'll leave the silly car race to those who like to look at things going in circles again, and again, and again.... I guess you need to be drinking a lot of beer to get the full effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it came to all out bass or extreme deep bass, I found the Return of The King for choice. I know you might mention the shock wave on the first chapter of FOTR or even the Belrog scene. But the Tower Crash (near the end)in ROTK is just sickening, a real subwoofing finale. A dynamic swoop of 14hz sub-atomic power. Besides, the Battles in ROTK as you said are a site to behold. The trilogy is something that will be remembered forever in movie history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckears Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 ---------------- The trilogy is something that will be remembered forever in movie history. ---------------- I never thought I would see the day when "the trilogy" would mean not only the LOTR books (known for most of my life as "The Trilogy"), but also these films. I kind of assumed that title would go to the original 3 Star Wars, but when Lucas seemed to have been replaced by a clone who had forgotten how to make a terrific story with his visual effects (one word: Ewoks) and start pandering to the mass merchandising machine instead, the vacancy was there for Peter Jackson to fill. ... and the 2 minute battle between Dooku (don't even care if I spelled it correctly) and Yoda did not ultimately redeem the snooze-fest and wooden acting of Episode 2. I have told acquaintances for a couple of years now that I wish Lucas would just tell us how it's supposed to end, instead of dragging us through another debacle, and wasting the talents of hundreds of film-makers.

Especially those catapult impacts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
