Also, I think they were trying to make some clear connections with the Lord of the Rings films, just for the crowd that never read the book.

I read a comment the other day. Somebody watched the movie and one guy in the theatre asked. "Huh? Why does he have the ring all of a sudden? I thought it was destroyed?" Oh. My. God.

LMAO XD

Fine if you haven't read The Hobbit, but even from the film itself it becomes obvious that it's a prequel to The Lord of the Rings.

Yes. Also, how can you miss all the talk going on, that Jackson is now brining THE PREQUEL to the cinemas now?

I always imagined that part to be a bit silly. Like, how would Gollum even consider that to be a proper riddle? However, they made it fairly believable in the film.

Heh, he doesn't consider it to be a proper riddle, that's the whole point. ^^

Well if I remember correctly, he says something like: "Not fair!" but I don't hear him mentioning it's against the rules or that it isn't a riddle. In fact, he even starts trying to guess it.

Yes, he complains about it but Bilbo insists, so Gollum doesn't really have a choice.

I thought this part was adapted well in the movie. Bilbo even does fiddle around with the ring before he asks that question, just as it is described in the book.

They even cut a lot of parts of the LotR just to keep it all within 3 hour portions.

Yes, that's why you just have to get the extended versions. It's really worth it!

Yeah I would still like to get my hands on them someday. I believe we do have the films on DVD, but I don't think they contain many extras.

DVD. LOL! :P
I have bought the BluRay-Box on the last Amazon "Cyber Monday". It was money well spent, since the additional scenes add so much more value to the movies... the only thing that pisses me off slighty is that there are sometiems different camera angles for the same scenes in both versions. ^^

But oh well. It seems to be hip nowadays to split books in as many films as they think they can get away with.

At least the movies aren't as shitty as Episode I - III. I watched Episode I in the movies, the other two, I only watched parts of III, when it was on the TV. And I really can't bring myself to watch Episode II...
It's like "What was he thinking?!"

You're talking about Star Wars, right?

Of course. Are there any other shitty movies with "Episode I - III" in the title? ^^

Yeah, it's hard to bring myself as much excitement as I did for the 2007 levels whenever I level up. I guess reaching level 60 will have a "meh" effect to it.

Which is really disappointing.

I agree. That said, the auras are better looking for the current icons. Pink isn't such an eyesore now and purple aura is a welcome addition. Teal aura for writer/reader kinda blends in with game aura but I suppose I can live with it.

Yes, the additional aura is nice and I like the new auras much better than pre-re-redesign.

I'm slowly but surely going through season two of Batman: The Animated Series.

Nothing beats the TV series with Adam West!

I'd say the animated series is where it was best at. Maybe we can both agree that TAS surpasses all the films.

Since I never watched any animated series of Batman (the was some cheaply made cartoon when I was young, but it sucked), I really cannot agree with you here. :(

Damn I got so lucky today. I drive a lot and never even had a scratch on my car. Today I had to deliver some stuff for my boss so I parked my car and walked away. Apparently I forgot to use my hand brake (wtf?) and my car started rolling backwards. Some dude saw it happen and ran towards my car to make it stop. He yelled so I turned around, saw the whole thing and noticed that if the guy didn't stop my car it would've rolled into a fucking pit and be completely underwater. I really felt like the most retarded person ever, thanked the guy a couple of times and randomly gave him 20 bucks (looking back to it, it should have been a lot more, but I was really in shock). I obviously have car-insurance, but I really love my current car and have no clue if they even insure moronic stuff like this.

It's insane how you can be driving for so many years (as I said, without even a single scratch) and do something that stupid because your mind is elsewhere.

The Animated Series doesn't have a strict canon. They are standalone episodes that rarely make references to previous events.

So, it's like a "reboot"? It can help a series, but you have to be careful with that. For example, I don't undestand why they needed to produce just another Spiderman movie that shows how Peter Parker becomes spiderman... but a different Spiderman from a different universe.

Oh, sorry. Anyway, the guys in the sig are supposed to be me (the tazer) and my old friend from high school (the tazee) - I was such a great friend. :P

As far as name changing goes, I honestly do miss being able to screw around with my alias. I don't think I'd have it changed now, though -I've just had it for way too long to do so. (Same thing with my sig.)

I know that feeling all too well.

I think it's simply a case of the elevated amount of submissions we've had in February overwhelming what little users are voting on a daily basis. I've honestly never seen anything like it before, though -not for this many days in a row, anyway. (Seems like so long ago when 10 or more UJ's at any given time was a lot. And whatever happened to waking up in the morning and seeing that a handful of submissions had passed while I was asleep?) :P

Went to a pub crawl. I didn't drink too much, although I feel like I had loads. I recall getting pinned to the ground as well as some of my friends teabagging me.

None of the video I've got on mine came from the iTunes store; I just dragged and dropped it in and it worked fine.

Ah, I really should try that. However, it would be a matter of ripping the video files from my DVDs so that's another factor to consider.

Just give me a shout at any time. It IS a lot to take in and despite doing it for years I did slip up here and there.

Thanks a lot. :)

I'll be happy to help whenever.

Hey, I'm 31 and don't have a drivers licence. :(

My aunt is almost 55 and she has no drivers licence.

I'm becoming too adorable to her, it seems.

Is that a good sign or a bad sign?

Hard to say. At least she likes me for it.

I still liked those auras but the new ones don't gaze into your eyes so it feels more of a background. As much as I liked gold aura, I'll admit that the colours were a little too bright.

Yeah, the curse of being a mod: Not being able to change your aura.

I don't mind keeping the gold aura. I've had it for at least 2 1/2 years now.

The Animated Series doesn't have a strict canon. They are standalone episodes that rarely make references to previous events. They are able to cater for many villains in the Batman franchise so it works out great. Some villains they've not even put on the films yet so their light shines better here.

So, it's like a "reboot"? It can help a series, but you have to be careful with that. For example, I don't undestand why they needed to produce just another Spiderman movie that shows how Peter Parker becomes spiderman... but a different Spiderman from a different universe.

It was the first Batman animated show so a reboot wasn't necessary at all.

Hey, I'm really not into dragons. :(

You should ask my girlfriend's input on them.

There's probably also a stack of submissions below the Latest 50 Under Judgements that have been sitting there for days.

So that's why I keep seeing 50+ UJ. Shame it's come to this now. Maybe the only way to settle this is to reduce the vote threshold to 150. It seems the voters aren't like how they were back in the day.

Wade even made an appearance in the Chat the other day and asked people to go vote to help clear it up but alas it fell on deaf ears. Sad days indeed.

You can't really have much faith in this site's community, it seems.

I was thinking about it as well. So maybe we should just do it. ^^

Just go to the "Under Judgement" page instead of the classic portal and you can see all the flashes that are under judgement (d'uh). On some of those I have voted three days in a row... it's really sad.

I stopped making lists because there where so many people doing it... and because it felt more like a chore doing them.

My aunt is almost 55 and she has no drivers licence.

I wonder if she has to listen to all this crap from her in-law family that I have to listen to as well?

Hard to say. At least she likes me for it.

I've been talking about meeting an old flame in Leicester, but it would be just that - casual, nothing serious and perhaps a chance to catch up on old times. God, I sound like I'm going through a midlife crisis...

You know, I always hoped we could meet outside the NG events.
