This looks absolutely disgusting

jopepa, in Does it ever end?

Begs the question what were your wrong reactions on first viewing?

Making fun of Legoland every opportunity

Got_Bent,

Unrelated but your comment reminds me of a time when my daughter was young.

There was some show on TV where a guy fell out of a tall building plummeting to his death (dramatized, not real).

My daughter watches this and screams, “wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

I about burst several internal organs laughing at that one.

jopepa,

That’s hilarious. If they released a Mystery Science Theater type of series with kids commentary I’d cash in all my pto binging all that unexpected nonsense.

spongeborgcubepants,

My reaction is to fall asleep every time

    But Jesus had to die for our sins so that he could be resurrected and ascend back to divinity. So technically Judas was the hero because he made it all possible. So he’s actually in heaven because he helped save humankind.

    Honestly, people really don’t understand the Bible nowadays but it makes perfect sense to me 🙃

    @imaqtpie @starbreaker I wonder what version will be told 1000 years from now, if we are still around.

    ChillPenguin, in Does it ever end?

    My wife fell asleep the first time through. So this is a very real situation for me haha.

    some_guy,

    Because you need to be sure she’s reacting “correctly”?

    Objection, leading question

    I fell asleep the first time, my wife didn’t.

    On her side, she was much more of a Tolkien nerd at the time, though I think I’ve surpassed her (an indictment of myself, I assure you).

    For my part, I was burned out from classwork and did not experience anything from Moria to Amon Hen. Like, I didn’t even remember that I fell asleep - or rather, waking up. So it wasn’t until I saw it again that I realized I missed Galadriel and a whole lot else. This exacerbates my confusion about what’s in the theatrical/extended, to say the least.

    cheesymoonshadow,
    @cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world avatar

    My husband and I stood in line to watch each movie twice in the theater when they came out. And we’ve watched it all through on DVD multiple times.

    We do have interests and hobbies that don’t jive but LOTR is definitely one we share.

    BilboBargains, in Does it ever end?

    I do this every time she drives a car.

    Bassman1805, in Does it ever end?

    My wife and I have both watched all the movies several times, together and apart, and we still do this with our favorite scenes.

    cheesymoonshadow,
    @cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world avatar

    One part that always makes us laugh is after “Fly, you fools” when there’s no spoken audio but you can see/hear Pippin in slowmo going “Frew-dew.”

    tacosanonymous, in Does it ever end?

    I’m assuming he’ll make you watch it again, regardless of your enjoyment. Like, if you don’t love it, he’ll say he didn’t explain enough or you missed something. If you do enjoy it, he’ll say you won’t mind watching it again.

    So, good luck.

    nitefox,

    And you will get an explanation either way, each time deeper and longer than the previous… either you live or join the cult, no in between

    Sotuanduso, in Does it ever end?

    Only the second time? Weak.

    This is a joke. I actually only watched through it for the first time this year, despite being more or less a fan of it since childhood.

    ickplant,
    @ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

    Truth is, the information contained in this meme is several years old (but accurate). I’ve seen it thrice by now, and he wasn’t nearly as focused on me the third time. So, it does get better.

    Gullible, in Does it ever end?

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets uncomfortable when someone starts spectating the audience. Yes, I’m watching the same movie. No, I don’t want to laugh or cry at you.

    @samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

    I watched Return of the King with my wife and family when it came out. She wasn’t impressed. I do have the extended edition, but I never got around to watching it by myself.

    Ashyr, in Does it ever end?

    What a wonderful image for sharing our deeply held passions with the people we care about most.

    Fortunately for me, my wife is the bigger LotR nerd, so when it comes to the Silmarillion, this tends to be how she looks at me.

    Lorewise, Saruman was supposed to be something of an engineering prodigy

    jmcs,

    He was a Maiar of Aulë, which was the Vala of Crafting, so prodigy is probably underselling it. As a side note, considering what happened with both Saruman and Sauron, I would say Aulë was probably a very shitty boss.

    Gradually_Adjusting,
    @Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

    He probably was - which is why they prefer to promote shitty engineers to management, usually.

    CitizenKong, (edited )

    Aule also created the dwarves against the explicit orders of Iluvatar, so it kinda runs in the family. Wasn’t Morgoth a Maiar of Aule too? Nope, a Valar. Thanks for the correction!

    jmcs,

    Morgoth was a Vala, probably even the most powerful among them.

    BastingChemina,

    He turned a park and a forest into a huge industrial complex, making an fully equipped army in a few years.

    From an engineering point of view this is impressive.

    Gradually_Adjusting,
    @Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

    He’d been amassing that army since 2953, and only revealed his true self by going sicko mode on Gandalf in 3018.

    BastingChemina, (edited )

    Thanks for the details, I’ve look for it but could not find how long it took him.

    The Orthanc wiki page. I basically lucked out, search engines suck these days

    If you find this entertaining, you'd enjoy Tom Holt books. This is basically his whole style.

    You can’t do that without linking!

    @OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

    That paragraph above reminds me most of The Out-sorcerer's Apprentice. Where to quote from the wikipedia page
    'a fairy tale universe is exploited economically'.

    He's written like 40 books
    and they're all pretty good fun (the fantasy stuff at least, his historical fiction wasn't my jam), not high literature or anything though, just nerdy, silly humour with some fun clever bits.

    demonsword,
    @demonsword@lemmy.world avatar

    That piqued my interest, gonna check it out. Thanks!

    OurTragicUniverse,
    @OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

    The first 2 books, 'Doughnut', and 'When It's A Jar', I would normally recommend over 'The Out-sorcerer's Apprentice', they're more scifi slanted and imo tightly written.

    The fundamental technology tying the books together is re-explained in book 3 though and you can figure stuff out without having read books 1 & 2, but it's probably not going to be quite as funny without all that pained context and layers of multidimensional headfuckery.

    I can’t throw the ring for you, Mr Frodo. But I can throw you…
