Whats Worse...?
Which do you think is worse : Gollum's "La La La Im not listening" fingers in the ear bit in TTT or Chewie's Tarzan shout in ROTJ? I hate when science fiction or fantasy filmmakers try and attemp humour by using stuff from real life. for me, these two are the worst examples and i cant decide which worst.

Since I thought they were both funny, I'll have to say I like your post the worst. Just kidding though. Chewies's thing is cool cuz you could actually believe that Wookies' yell like that when swinging across vines. However Gollum's little thing although not offensive was not humorous either, though it still was not without an air of obnoxiousness.

i say they are both cool in there own ways
gollums antics may seem annoying but they are crucial to showing his character.
and as for chewy...no words can describe him. "Aarrrgghhhhh"

Gollums this character who has lived in a cave for hundreds of years, obsessed with this ring. hes not spoken to anyone in centuries. hes pathetic and hates himself. Yet this thing he does the sort of light hearted game you'd play about with your buddies with. totally out of character i thought. It may have been funny but they really didnt need any hunour at that point. As for chewie, why coudlnt they justve made him yell some thing in wookie, instead of the catchprase from a tv show from a galaxy far far away, and not invented for a long, long time yet?

I think a little fun doesn't damage movie. Gollum is really intresting character and his talkinkg to himself makes Gollum more sly. The movie becomes intrigue

It is only a little bit of fun and it was added to try to makethe audience have empathy with Gollum, but there is alot about Gollums character that irritated me in the film. All these people that I knew that have never read any of the books came out of TTT movie feeling really sorry for Gollum... but when I read the book I thought he was an evil little bastard, granted an evil little bastard with depth of character but none the less evil.

There is a lot of denial in this ride, the ride, in fact, is made up of denial. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people. Ha ha "Shut him up." "We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.' - the late prophet Bill Hicks.

I found the fact that people were laughing at parts in the movie that shouldn't be funny. When I read the Lord of the Rings, it struck me as a very serious world. It's not that the Movies aren't good with all the comic relief, it's just that I'd liked to have seen it the other way, and I'm very dissapointed that I never will.

That's because where you say serious, the average punter watching the film would say boring.

Books are more serious than movies. The story is about a small ring which caused a big battle. That doesn't sound funny at all.
But I think that's not bad a little fun in movie because too serious movie and such a long movie can tired out.

Sam: I know. Its all wrong. By rights we shouldnt be here...but we are. Its like in the great srories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of Darkness andanger, they were, and sometimes you didnt want to know the end because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened... but in the end its only a passing thing. The Shadow even darkness will pass. A new day WILL come. And when the sun shines it will shine out clearer. Those are the stories that stay with you and meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But, I think, Mr. Frodo, i do understand... iknow now. Folk in those stories have a lot of chances to turn back, but they didnt. They kept going because they were holding on to something!
FRODO: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That theres some good in this world, Mr Frodo and its worth fighting for.
