And for the record, I picked up one of those books in like 4th or 5th grade, read a few pages and will never, ever pick it up again.

Fifth grade for me, after watching the hilarious stoner cartoon movies. Still one of the bigger wastes of time in my life, and that's saying a LOT.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:And for the record, I picked up one of those books in like 4th or 5th grade, read a few pages and will never, ever pick it up again.

You could save yourself 3000 pages and just speedread this every couple of years:chuck said:
Let's just agree to...well...you fuck off.
Or maybe you just hate your time. -
You guys are a couple of faggot simpletons. It comes as no surprise.

You're right. It's the simpletons who appreciate stories in which problems are solved by logic, physics, and within the constraints of the previously established plot structure. Smart, complex people like stories in which problems are solved by the sudden introduction of new magic and creatures, usually in conflict with the previously established plot. And long-winded descriptions of stumps and ferns and shit.chuck said:You guys are a couple of faggot simpletons. It comes as no surprise.
"My favorite book about magic spells and wizards and goblins is too intellectual for you!" said some retard in this thread. -
JFC man lighten up. You're the one who was insulting from the start. I was just playing along and going (obviously) overboard with it. I thought you'd get it. I dont think ill of you for not liking those books.1to392831weretaken said:

You're missing a lot there based on the way you describe them, but that's all good. Tolkien's gift was world creation and, if his writing style works for you, describing them in a way that makes you feel like you're there. Also LOTR is just the conclusion of an epic project that starts at the beginning of everything and has thousands of years of history of the people who came before that part of the story. i think it's amazing and rises above petty plot holes and all the other shit you mentioned (most of which is bull shit anyways but...).
I do the same thing all the time, and often find that I actually like something I've been talking shit about. I'm a huge Alice in Chains fan now, but hated them from 1991 until about 2010. I first noticed Neil Young outside of a few radio songs when Freedom Came out. I hated it, and didnt change my mind about him for several years. Now he's my favorite musician. -

I've seen this as internet shit-talking the whole time--I don't give a fuck about LOTR--but how was I insulting from the start? I matter-of-factly pointed out that your favorite part of his writing is my least favorite, even explicitly stating it was just my opinion. That's kids gloves for Hardcore Husky. Everything since is tit for tat.
And, with that...

Might be generational, but I've seen 50/50
It's a pretty basic bitch millennial male must see list. -

Being an old fart I read the books at an older age, so could understand the boring parts better.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:And for the record, I picked up one of those books in like 4th or 5th grade, read a few pages and will never, ever pick it up again.
The Lampoon version is my favorite, Bored of the Rings, starring Dildo and Frito. I use those names when any conversation brings up BOTR.
But I did enjoy the books and movies which is unusual as I do not like special effects movies except for explosions and space travel -
45
The Departed
Memento
Shutter Island
Leon: The Professional
The Usual Suspects
These five are probably not worth it. -
My standard is if the movie can stop me from picking up my phone and checking hardcore Husky its good

44 I can confidently say I’ve watched the entirety at least once. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen at least part of all 50.
I never liked Lord of the Rings but went to the first one in the theater. I’ve never paid attention for more than ten minutes of Wall-E, V for Vendetta, the LOTR sequels, Guardians, and despite attempting to watch Se7en a few times, I couldn’t.
The Avengers was the last Marvel movie I watched. Everyone told me how great it was and I was so bored, I was faking asleep in the theater, getting woken up by loud explosions every 10-15 min. That movie sucked. -
If I haven't seen them, I highly doubt it.RoadDawg55 said:

All kidding aside, I'd put Good Will Hunting, The Warriors, Shooter, and the Bourne movies on the list but I didn't vote on IMDB so that's my thing. Oh, and its a travesty not one of the Fast and Furious movies made this list. -

Two things. 1) I have no life. 2) FUCK YOU WALL-E -
47. I've never seen Wall-E or The Prestige. I had never even heard of Leon: The Professional, but it actually sounds good.
I don't think I'll ever see The Prestige. An old friend of mine who became a Coug came to visit about eight years back and couldn't stop talking about it, watched it twice on his laptop in a week. He was also so lame, a cock blocking machine. Good friend. But some people are just born uncool. If someone like that calls it their favorite movie it ruins it for me. -
It's one of my favorite movies ever on the first watch but not that great on a rewatch once you know the twist, certainly couldn't watch it twice in a week.RatherBeBrewing said:47. I've never seen Wall-E or The Prestige. I had never even heard of Leon: The Professional, but it actually sounds good.

Agree. Epic first watch though.dnc said:

I haven't seen but 21-24 of those - being a father I wait until my kids tell me 'it was the best movie ever'
and then go out of my way to not see that movie. -

Leon: The Professional. Love that movie. Underrated for sure. -
The avengers is hot garbage. How many battle scenes can take? Inconsequential battle scenes at that. Over and over again.RoadDawg55 said:44 I can confidently say I’ve watched the entirety at least once. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen at least part of all 50.

Pirates and Shutter Island -
Eat a 50mg edible, have a nice 22 or two, then get some beer and popcorn at the theater. That’s how you watch any Avengers movie, and they become great.jecornel said:

Pro-tip: they will sell you two beers at a time if whoever you’re going with gets a coke, as long as she (he?) orders it.
Pro-tip 2: if you get the Regal movie pass thing it’s great. Pays for itself if you go to more than two movies per month. And they stopped billing as soon as the lockdown happened. I would have never noticed but they just put it on hold, unlike the gym.
