I saw The Last Samurai movie. I thought it was awesome and if you want to see a movie this is it. There is lots of bloody battle and it is a bit sad at the end. It is well worth seeing

I want to see it just to spite people! They were all like "Why is Tom Cruise in a Samurai movie? That's stupid." Stupid people. I mean, it is obvious from even movie posters that he is not supposed to be Japanese. And whities did go over there way back when. Who wouldn't want all the booty that Japan holds? Plus they had a lot of luxuries, too. That is what I assume the movie is about: Europe fighting a confused empire.

Mmmmm, hopping. It is like having hope, but with more al-co-hol involved. Hellboy's finally gonna come out? Sweet deal! Let it deliver us from the recent suckage wave of comic book inspired movies! Yes, Spidey looks sooooo sweet. Now that they got his origin out of the way (because, you know, they needed to recap that in the first movie since it is not like everyone in the world already knows it..... *cough*) they can get down to good stuff.... like Doc Ock throwing cars around. *drooling*

What about The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King? In my opinion, the movie was excellent (Gollum should win Oscar for Best Thing, according to TIME magazine); however, Peter Jackson should not have removed the Scouring of the Shire. Now people are all asking me, "So what happened to Saruman?" Oy. Also, has anyone played LotR:RotK for GCN/PS2/X? The amount of perfect kills possible has now tripled from the maximums in Two Towers: in the Palantir of Saruman in RotK, I got 121 Perfect Kills, as opposed to my record of 67 Perfect Kills in the Hornburg Courtyard with Aragorn in TT.

I think Lord of The Rings: Return of the King was awesome, except for the fact that it felt rushed; too much was crammed into it from the end of the previous book. That, and all the many parts cut out, like The Watchers.

Yess Smeagol thinks too much iss cuts out as well. But if the movie went on any longer we would have had to leave to pee and we swore we would not leave the movie. We swore it on the PRECIOUS!!!

Yes LOTR:RoTK felt a bit rushed and I was annoyed about the scouring of the shire not being their too. Non- book readers might be a bit annoyed about the scouring of the shire tho'. SPOLER: The end was good with frodo going to the elven isles and it showing Sam's family .

I still think Peter coulda gotten away with my idea, even though it probably seem extreme at first, and actually made each book into a movie, and I mean "book" as in the numbered halves of each third of the novel. Six movies, baby! And, remember, he got so crazy towards the end there where each movie is about four hours anyways, so is it really any different?

Woah!  That is an awesome idea! It would drive me crazy waiting for each movie, though.

For once people, it's not Elven Isles, it's the Grey Havens. I've played so much Wind Waker now that hearing of another island just sickens me  EDIT: Hm, didn't anyone notice I made a mistake?

In defense of my knowlegde of LOTR, I noticed, I just haven't had much posting time the last couple of days. I just read and move on.
