who likes LOTR felloship of the ring
and dr who. smokin'

Corran
I would have to answer no to this, I do like LOTR but I do not like Dr who, so I cannot answer yes to liking them both.

I will not vote on this yet because of the ambiguity of the question.

Belgarion Irongrip
forget the dr who bit wink roll eyes (sarcastic) smokin'

finti

Ushgarak
Certainly should; I am moving it now.

Myndon

FINGOLFIN

www.worldwideboxoffice.com

Check it out!

Dexx
i was talking about the books....
FOTR (the movie so far) was ok ...good story, CGIs......
I'll think of how to grade the movies when rotk comes out

FINGOLFIN
That the "BOOKS...ARGGHHH...GASP....AAARGGHH" only rate 7 out of ten?

smokin'

Dexx
kinda like that.....belive it or not, LOTR was the firs book that i actually liked reading. ( u know...not having to do something for school or stuff like that.....not that i would do it anyway laughing )
But then i started reading other books and i liked some of 'em better.
Lotr's still ok

FINGOLFIN
Which ones did you like better? I myself called it a tie between: LOTR, Silm, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged.

big grin

Dexx
well....don't think u heard of it but....now i'm at the 4th volume of Musashi. Wich without any doubt is better that Lotr ( my oppinion ).
the author might not be better than Tolkien but this book is. Maybe because it's 'bout real things...
we could say Tolkien's works are in part real too......gathered legends and stuff

mah
if the book is about real things or not have nothing to do with its qualities at all. you might like that better than fantasy, but then its up to personal taste and not quality.

FINGOLFIN
If you like books about "real things"...I highly recommend The Fountainhead. cool

Dexx
actually i only found out it's about real things at the beggining of the 4th volume.....till then i thought it was only a good story.....still, i'm sure the author added some of his storytelling technique

Julie
It was good....not star Wars, but still good wink

Mujaffa
FINGOLFIN
Harry who?

no,no,no.... he's ari... not harry laughing out loud laughing
if your a norwegian you'll understand.....

FINGOLFIN
Or a big Monty Python fan.....I understand what you meant!!!!


Very funny, Gov!

wink

Dexx
i still dunno the real connection between Harry Potter and LOTR......

mah
they're both popular fantasy-books, isnt that good enough?

Dexx
nope.....actually, i didn't hear about any of those till the movies.

Palanfirith
I voted yes.But it's a silly question..... laughing out loud
Most of the persons who enter in the LOTR section will probably vote yes...

Dexx
well, there is one NO, besides one "what's lotr"

Palanfirith
that is why I said "Most of...." wink

Dexx
yup.

Palanfirith
I'm very glad that you aproved me.... laughing out loud

Dexx
yeah, it must be funny too...

Myndon
who's gonna see the two towers when it comes out?
i know i am big grin

Belgarion Irongrip
myndon-i iwll see it with you.

Dexx
deffenetley will see it..have it too....

Fire
LOL
harry potter is total crap compared to LOTR and it copies a lot of stuff from LOTR

mah
not really, no. its fantasy yes, but thats where the similarities end.
and it's not crap.

Fire
lol mah harry potter copies a lot of things from LOTR
and it is crap IMO

mah
books or film now? and what does it copy exactly?

Dexx
well..harry potter can't be compared with lotr...bu ti admit HP is not that bad either. I'm sure i'd love it if i'd be 5 years younger...let's say.

Fire
mah I'll look up some things it copied tomorrow I'm sure there are a few
but imo tolkien is the father to most of modern day fantasy so well

mah
he is, but you can't accuse every fantasy-writer for copying him

finti
you can, but it wont be fair to do so

Fire
idd, and I ain't going to but somethings are a tad too obvious from time to time

but mah forget it, I'm overreacting
I just don't like harry potter that's all

forgive me for the bashing of it

mah
no, I think I will suggest a ban of you...big grin

Fire
basta stick out tongue

Dexx
violence..my faivourite
