[@Pangolin-Mandolin]

Ages ago a friend of mine was homeless and his routine became, wake up in the flop house, Strip his bed, eat breakfast and kicked out by 8am, Steal enough to sell for enough to pay for his habit and then, he had nothing to do. So he went to a highstreet bookstore and saw the 50th anniversary lotr books - and stole the Fellowship of the Ring. He would then go and sort himself out and then sit in a public "mall kinda place(?)" that he could directly see the homeless shelter from where he sat, and he just read the lotr all day until the shelter opened. He did pay for the Two Towers book, but not for the Return of the King....😔 but, he read trilogy cover to cover over 4 times before his space at a rehab was approved. Those books meant so much.....he essentially just lived in middle earth for over 10 hours every day. They saved him....

[@rainbowcrash6990]

James thought at first that he'd be able to resist the corruption. But by the time he stood at the edge... he wondered if he really should cast the idea into the void... "No." And he turned away, keeping his prize. Knowing, in his corrupted heart, that he would make the video game segments work for him.

James is really onto something with the whole 'this is what dudes need' point. Yeah. Grab yourselves some bros and go on a quest. There's a great Cinema Therapy video about Aragorn that's basically an essay on how he's the best bloke. Also, I once recorded an EP on the farm of the head fletcher for these movies. He had a shed full of those thick arrows and a load of Legolas' bows. I only found out after the third or fourth recording session and had no idea why anyone wouldn't lead with that fact immediately.

The fellowship of the Ring is my favourite, the actors are all excellent, they did a really good job of setting up the world and the stakes, music was epic the cinematography was epic and I just think it was the strongest most focused entry of the three. Maybe it’s because after the fellowship goes their own way in two towers their stories diverge until return of the king

[@Telcontar86]

Fun fact, in the books Sauron, still weakened from the divine intervention of the Drowning of Numenor, was defeated in 2 on 1 combat by Elendil and Gil-Galad. (That's right, Sauron at the Battle of the Last Alliance was weaker than he had been just a century before) Both High Kings were killed (Gil-Galad was incinerated by Sauron's hands) and Sauron's new body was gravely injured. Isildur then used his fathers broken sword to cut the Ring from the downed Enemy, at which point Sauron's spirit fled. So no, Sauron did not reach with his Ring hand and get his fingers chopped off like a bloody moron. He more or less got looted.

[@tonypine3434]

I haven’t read the books in awhile (too long!) but I seem to recall it being a 5 on 1 fight with Gil-Galad, Elendil, Isildur, Elrond, and someone else fighting Sauron.

[@Telcontar86]

​@@gunnerbriscoe3315 The general consensus is that there was a 2 on 1 afaik, Elrond was there but didn't say he and the others fought Sauron

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Perhaps when Gimli said "and my Axe," he was actually referring to the body spray he always cares with him, and that way, the Fellowship could smell fresh throughout their travels?

[@Nodiee1]

nah that can't be it. there weren't nearly enough beautiful women instinctually flocking to the fellowship. if anyone's wearing axe body spray it's Aragorn and he's bogarting the stuff.

Fun fact: my favorite segment of Caravan of Garbage (which they do every week without exception) is Thoughts and Prizes. I hope one day I'm the one to win a prize.

[@gustavholmberg3922]

Little known fact: Peter Jackson actually considered including the two blue wizards, Alator and Pallando, in the extended cut of Fellowship. But it would have been too inconsistent with the established lore. Jackson, who of course wanted to stay true to the books, was quoted saying: "It's an interesting idea to include the blue wizards, but let's harvest it for another time.". Which actually led the working title of this movie to be "Blue Harvest", which coincidentally was the working title for Star Wars: Episode IV - First Star Wars.

9:21 I think you shouldn't downplay the contribution of Alan Lee and John Howe. They were brought in because they were *THE* Tolkien/Lord of the Rings artists. They were responsible for how most readers saw the world of LOTR, so it was only natural that they should shape the movie version (which Jackson didn't have to do but, to his credit, he did).

The aragorn thing seems like a way to make the whole noble bloodline story more palatable for a modern audience. Instead of book "yea I'm actually 100% physically superior to u bc my ancestors were kings, I want to be king, I'm tired of this bullshit let me be king" attitude its everyone around him going "aaah you see the guy who doesn't want the crown is most fitting for it!" trope you see in like, every fantasy story.

Because so much of the shire (especially those fields the hobbits walked through) we’re all so green, all the special effects later on needed to be filmed in front of blue screens instead of green screens.

[@cylondorado4582]

I also haven't read the books, but I was watching something about the Ralph Bakshi cartoon from the 70's and it mentioned one thing I think they did better. When they did the riddle at the door, where you're supposed to "Speak Friend and Enter", I just thought that this magic door had a stupid password. But in the cartoon and the book, Legolas (I think) mentions that that seems dumb, and Gimli says, "Those were happier times". It's such a little thing, but I think it really adds a layer to the scene since it's kind of sad how dark things are now when back then you didn't need serious security. With that said, I still think it's a great movie, and I just watched the extended trilogy for the first time a few months ago. It was funny because I noticed some of the newer bits from two and three, but in the first one I couldn't place anything that was different. I guess it was either all extensions to existing scenes, or maybe I watched it on TV a long time ago and didn't realize it was the extended one.

[@CinemaRescored]

Does anyone know if Bilbo's scary face show up in this video? I have a strong fear of seeing that part. Yes, I am serious.

It does! I think you'll want to skip the bit at about 22:51. It only lasts a second or so. James starts talking about how the ring is targeting Boromir, and moves from person to person. It's completely over by 22:54. If you just close your eyes when he says it's targeting Boromir, you can open them after you hear a little Bilbo screech.

Fun fact: while the beautiful New Zealand landscape became iconic with this film, it was at times a concern for Peter Jackson and the production team. Whilst there are still a number of scenes throughout the film in different landscapes, so much of the film is shot in luscious areas of grass, trees, and plants, so much so that Jackson became concerned that all the greenery might start to make the locations feel too similar. That's why Triviaship of the Trivia is also known as Green Trivia

[@michaelmulligan8527]

Fun Fact: I had never seen any of these, but I did see all 3 Hobbit movies because, not to brag, when I was a little boy I read the Hobbit. I never saw these because I fell asleep during the first one and as an unfuckable nerd, I decided this was just one of the many nerdy things out there I could probably skip over and I'd be okay. Then, about 2 weeks ago, I realized my wife and I didn't have any shows to watch or books to read, so I figured it was time... time to watch the full, super long cuts of these 3 critically acclaimed movies. I finished Return of the King last night at midnight (spooky) and then, I log on to the computer this morning and see this and I'm like, "are they watching me?"

As a nerd who loves the books, I think this is the best of the films Jackson made from an adaptation perspective. Aragorn is, off the bat, a very different character, but he works well for what the films are going for. Frodo's also very different, but that's not really an issue yet.

[@Luckypants2113]

“Fellowships are what modern men are missing.” True, but what’s also kinda funny is that these movies are great examples of healthy masculinity. Aragorn is a caregiver and protector for those in his company. He shows compassion and even tenderness to Boromir, even being comfortable placing his hand on boromir and kissing him on the forehead. He’s willing to lead others not out of ego but out of duty. He recites poetry and sings at his own coronation. All that and he’s still an absolute badass who beat the shit outta orcs and gets the hot girl in the end. I’m not even joking when I say these movies are actually really good examples of how a well adjusted man should behave. Also not relevant but I wanted to say it. This trilogy is an absolute masterpiece. I can never say enough good things about these movies. I’ve seen them dozens and dozens of times and I will gladly watch them many, many more times. They’ve aged really well. Even 20+ years after they came out and they still look incredible. It doesn’t feel like an older movie at all. These movies just capture a feeling and a tone that you can’t get from anything else. It makes you feel nostalgic for a time you didn’t actually live through. It makes you homesick for a place you never lived. It feels like hanging with old friends even though it’s fictional characters that you’ve never met. It’s so damn good!!!

If a scene doesn't have Frodo in it or doesn't relate to Frodo, it was on the chopping block. Characters like Boromir lost a lot in the cuts.
