Err....

Hmmmmm........no posts??? Damn!!!

I'm using my power of trash stacking for posting this blog. Oh!!! f**k.....

Yeah!! i finished LOTR recently. Quite a stunning book i must say...(Eh...I'm not starting out with another review.. ;-) ) I finished the movies too... But not very satisfactory i must say..One thing i realized on seeing the movies that my own imagination is better than using another man's perspective. Here are some of the disputes and concurrence i found between me and Mr.Peter Jackson.

  • I never thought the dwarf would be that aged, never thought he would have a beard. The notion of dwarfs having 3 feet heights got me thinking w.r.t the small kids, so had a feeling he would be a young fellow.
  • And most of you might disagree with me in this regard- I believe Aragorn's casting could have been a little more better.On reading the book i was inclined to expect a lot off kingliness from the actor,but i must say i like my king better than Viggo.May be they wanted an actor who looks good on a steed and of course he had the reputation from Hidalgo(which i must say was quite impressive...).
  • But all credit to the movies for the splendid landscaping of middle earth, wah!! beautiful shire, the enormous black gate and the elvish cities of Rivendell and Lothllorien really remarkable work, the one area i believe my imagination couldn't quite catch up...
  • The modification of real story at some places made me feel let down as a real fan of LOTR. The most infuriating thing was that they silently accuse Faramir to be like ordinary men getting corrupted for the power of the ring. From the book my impression about him was like steward worthy enough to be born in the race of the great kings, very just and very true.
  • Also they show shire as a trouble free, 'cheerful as ever' place even when the rest of the middle-earth is under the shadow.
F**k again.. Donno wat the hell i was writing and why the hell i made the post...I'm listening now to a Linkin Park song which goes like
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
To all of you i wanna say the same........
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Something's driving me insane for sure...perhaps its the primordial seeds of sanity left dormant deep inside my guts popping up....

  1. good thing you didn't say anything bad about the book;-)

    and almost always sanity is the cause of insanity. way to go!!!

    may be 'cause i watched the movies long time after the book, i dont share your opinion in most cases.the movies are never near the book, though

  2. hmmmm.......okie....
    the one i didn't expect to read the blog is you and indeed you are the first one...

    And there is noway i'm gonna say anything bad about the book other than saying its awesome!!!

    May be because i saw the movie immediately after i read the book i couldn't just take all of it in one go...some time later when i see the movies again(and of course then i wouldn't recall all from the book...) my opinions might change...For the moment go! Tolkien and thumps down to Peter... ;-)

    And the linkin park songs are so powerful alle?? esp lyrics...

  3. f()(k!@#$^%&**( .no one and i mean no one questions the talent or genius of peter jackson.... the movies are good in their own sense... the sequences,the alternate storylines had to be merged into a beautiful single timeline which the book never accomplished.
    And boy when u make allegations do your homework...
    "May be they wanted an actor who looks good on a steed and of course he had the reputation from Hidalgo(which i must say was quite impressive...)." f()(k you... you think it was vinayan who did the casting for lotr? and unless the ones who did the casting were a$$****s thrown out from the utopian land of ithopia who had something they call "Psychohistory" abilities they couldnt do the casting that way cos dumbo he acted in hidalgo after all the lotr movies!!! mind your audience before you run your mouth. and show more respect to true artists... and as a last world i'll be a fan of both the movies and the books as long as i live....

    oh!! take a chill pill dude!!! i just gave my opinion...
    I'm a fan,of the book and the movies, too, if not the greatest ;-) ....
    No question marks on Peter and his castings,its just that i didn't feel the same as you did....
    I would hold Tolkien higher than Peter...something tells me Aragorn cud have been better.... :D
    Hehe!!True, I didn't know that Hidalgo was after lotr, yeah dumbo maybe,but that was just a filthy excuse that didn't come out as it should have to scorn the casting....
    Aragorn is my fav and so expected, perhaps, too much from the actor....
