The Nazgul would have killed the eagle and the hobbit(s) and taken the ring. To risky to send it on eagle.

I thought the eagles shredded Nazgul batwings? Ah... my nerd is coming out... damn.

Sometimes Family Guy misses the point on things. There's another episode where they make fun of Contact for having a second space transport thingy built...but the reason for the second one is clearly explained in the movie. That always bugs me when that episode of Family Guy comes on.

But the eagels kick Nazgul ass in the third movie.

One that drives me absolutely nuts is the first Superman movie. He's too late to save Lois Lane, so he goes back in time to save her. When he does, she starts yelling at him for not being there when the gas station exploded and trees were falling--which means that Superman went back in time and did NOT bother to stop the nuclear bomb from exploding. Which means there's huge amounts of damage to the planet and its citizens that they don't ever bother to address.

It also means there are two Supermen flying around now...the one who was already in that time, and the one who flew back to that time.

That movie is stupid.

They might be right about that one then. But they're not right about Contact.

I loved Contact ... I even loved Monsters and Aliens that spoofs Contact.

I love you white people and all, but dammit, enough with the Jennifer Aniston overkill

Jennifer Aniston just seems to be playing the same part,over and over again.

I had a problem with I Am Legend. If Will Smith is the only remaining person in New York City not killed off by the cancer cure virus or turned into a vampire-zombie, how is he able to generate any power or water into his house? Presumbaly, all of the people who would have run the power plants or purified the drinking water would be dead or a walking zombie. And how was the lady able to rescue him on the dock from the attacking vampire-zombies in her SUV if all the bridges to Manhattan were blown up earlier? Yes there are a couple of tunnels that lead into Manhattan, but we saw at the beginning of the movie that they were overloaded with abandoned cars (not to mention that they probably had a bunch of vampire-zombies living there in the darkness). And while the roads in Manhattan were overgrown with weeds, why were the roads to the colony at the end of the movie all nice and clean?

Yes!

I had read the original book by Richard Matheson, so I was annoyed with a lot in this movie.

But to add to my irritation, I bought the DVD with the alternate ending.

"The Last Man on Earth" starring Vincent Price was also based on the book... MUCH better movie, even in its cheesiness. Charleton Heston starred in a version of it in the 70s... just an excuse for him to walk around with his shirt off mot of the time.

The 2nd Transformers: Megan Fox.

They were running through Egyptian desert, chased by homocidal robots, explosions all around...

She is wearing "booty shorts" and high heels, and is oiled-up & glistening.

Okay. Sure.

I haven't had a chance to see the third one yet, but someone told me that it's the same thing with the new chick.

Not that it saps much of my enjoyment or appreciation for this film. Although the "Goonies" irritated me slightly. When they all follow one eyed willies map they eventually stumble upon the well(the jocks hangin at it trying to fire into the fit girl goonie)which was around half or 2 thirds through their adventure. If they all just went down that well in the first place they would cut out a whole world of shit and headaches. Granted they weren't to know that well was on route but it still pissed me off,

It is

They all ended up with scratches, bruises and shit. There wasn't a SINGLE stain in her clothes and her make-up games was still 100%.

Those education movies where the "terrible, impoverished, illiterate" minority kids are "rehabilitated" by a suburbanite through poetry, sports, math... etc.

Even though some of them are based on true stories, Hollywood has made me hate that formula.

Watching Kill Bill now and one thing that's ALWAYS annoyed me with this is that she was in a coma for years so no doubt her muscles atrophied and would require months of rehab to regain full function. Yet this hooker sits in the truck for 10 hours wiggling her gatdamn pinky toe and has no problem regaining her full strength to go on a fighting/killing spree. Bitch please!

[Edited 7/12/11 17:43pm]

It's Kill Bill. Was there anything realistic about the movie? It was a live action cartoon pretty much.

Yeah, I know that and? Most the movies we're talking about are sci-fi and action doesn't mean silly plot developments can't be irksome

Ahem...!

The way I see it, it's not really the Nazgul that would've posed the biggest threat to an "eagle caravan"...it would've been Sauron himself!

Picture this - a flock of giant eagles descending upon Mount Doom with Sauron knowing full well that the ring was among them and guessing their intent.

I could imagine every creature at Sauron's command swarming over Mount Doom and the ring not getting anywhere near the entrance to the volcano.

It had to be a "covert mission" in order to keep Sauron guessing all the time as to where the ring actually was.

That's my guess, anyway.

My point was Uma's character went through all sorts of unrealistic situations. She was jumping from balconies without suffering injuries. Took a hit from a flailing metal ball, yet bounced back after a couple of seconds. I don't think I would expect for her to take months to go through physical therapy to recover from a coma And if we want to get technical with how the human body reacts to trauma, Quentin would need to alter all those dismemberments as well The whole movie was ridiculous. I liked it at the time.

I get all of that. But by definition most sci-fi and fantasy films are unrealistic. My point is that one can still be annoyed or confused at the implausibility of a plot development, which is the point of the thread.

I don't see the appeal of her ass at ALL. Your boy Paul Mooney has a field day with her in his show.

The only Jennifer Aniston movie worth watching is The Good Girl. LOVED it and it wasn't because of her. Otherwise, all she hass done are 132 different romantic comedies where she plays a tan-haired Jennifer Aniston. Ugh. At least she's a brunette in her new movie.

I prefer foreign films in general because they just aren't as predictable as this American crap.

I like her. I don't think she's brilliant or anything, but I like her. One movie of hers that I've always been fond of is The Object of My Affection. I know she's done a crapload of horrible movies--and everyone associated with Rumor Has It should be ashamed of themselves--but her movies don't bother me.

Lord of the Rings...

Family guy ruined it for me...

they could of just flow one of those oversized eagles to Modor... saving lots of time and story line.

Tron. The entire story line sucks to me...

Narnia... why can't the Lion just fix things himself? What's up with dragging kids through all that mess?

How many clones can you clone with one drop of blood that is over a cetury old? - Alien3

Will Harry Potter get a new wand or fix his broken one? "Wando-repair-o!" Why did Doby have to die?

He totally fixes it in the end.

Did you see the new movie?

The Wizard of Oz--Does Glenda the good witch tell Dorothy that she has the power to go home when she first meets her?! Noooo! She sends her off on a wild goose chase to find a phony wizard, then comes back and says "you had the power all along!!"

Well why didn't you tell me that sooner?!?!? I always hated Glenda

SCNDLS, quit fuckin' with my gurl Uma! She's just a bad muthafucka; she got it like that!

Regarding Wizard of Oz, yeah, Glinda could've told her from the get-go, but then she wouldn't have learned a damn thing!

I stopped reading books to movies, because the movies always end up dissapointing me.

The only exception JRR Tolkien .... they did a great job with the movies.

I hated the Jurrasic Park trilogy because I read the books first.

These have been pretty good. The last three (maybe four) books (IMO) were basically written as movies which spoiled them as books for me but makes it real easy for the movie to follow the book.
