Holy stuff, The Hobbit is Phenomenal

I don't understand the logic of entertainment completing your life but it's whatever.

I said it doesn't complete your life.

[heedicalking]

It was great! I loved how they gave the dwarves a bit more personality.

Meant not.

[Daedalus]

too drawn out, but great nonetheless
I liked the action sequences

[Emo Freak]

Loved the movie. Made me want to watch all the Lotr movies all over again. It was convenient that when I came home from the movie, I started playing Lego Lotr on my 360 c;

First off, it's LotR, not LOTR. Words like "of", "the", and "is" are not capitalized in acronyms.

Now you're just being an starfish.

to be fair, he's actually right

That's like saying someone uses awful grammar because they left out an apostrophe when they typed something
Or not using punctuation
This is an internet forum aint nobody gives a forget bout dat stuff

[Nymethus]

It's connected to LotR by being in the same universe, plus it's a prelude to LotR. You're right: it's not in the same series, I never said it was, but it's definitely related to LotR.

I don't really care what's related to what. The point:

it is a LotR film

It is not. The end.

Entertainment is all I can think of. I'm just not a movie person, so going out of my way to see a movie is pointless regardless of the movie. I was saying I see no reason to go and see it. Clearly you're autistic if you don't understand what I'm saying.

so you don't watch movies (...because you don't) and that is the reason you won't watch this particular movie. that is good to know. also good to know how autistic I am. I keep forgetting, you know.

Why do anything that doesn't help complete your life? Sounds like a massive, massive waste of time.

clearly I'm autistic if I don't get your life completion idea. and autistic people don't need to get it, so that's cool.

to be fair, he's actually right

according to what?

I don't know how many other ways I can explain this: the hobbit is not included in the "LotR" grouping because the plot is different, but it is part of the larger informal "LotR" story grouping because it precedes the other books. If I were to publish two books, one a sequel to the other, but not officially label them as a series; they're still a series because of the definition of the word "series":
A number of things, events, or people of a similar kind or related nature coming one after another: "a series of lectures".

The series is called "The Lord of the Rings," not "The Lord Of The Rings." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LotR links to Lord of the Rings, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOTR merely suggests a connection.

PUMPED for Desolation of Smaug

The part where Gandalf and Saruman talked was dumb. I nearly groaned when Galadriel and Gandalf apparently had telepathy.

Pretty sure that wasn't in the book, but I may have just forgotten.

It wasn't in the book, but it did happen in the lore.
Galadriel can speak directly into people's minds, she did so in The Fellowship of the Ring as well.
