minus-squareBubbleMonkeylinkfedilinkEnglish6•8 months agoHeck yeah, and you could still call it lord of the rings if his thing is to blow smoke rings. Maybe even just once per episode, so as not to be weird.

minus-square@saltnotsugar@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish4•8 months agoYes quite. Any time an adventure has the potential to come up, Gandalf hits that pipe and forgets to show up to the meeting.

minus-square@Chadus_Maximus@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish4•8 months agoThey needed a 3 year pre production for these as well. Should have gone for 2028 release.
minus-squarerealcaseyrollinslinkfedilink3•8 months agoAs bad as The Hobbit is as a trilogy, there was some good stuff there and I’m glad we got those movies.
minus-square@showmeyourkizinti@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglish3•8 months agoI agree with you. There’s a really good 2 hour movie somewhere in that trilogy but it just needs a really good editor to cut out of all the bloat.
minus-square@picnicolas@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglish3•8 months agoPeter Jackson took over for Guillermo Del Toro, who unexpectedly bowed out right as production started. I wouldn’t blame Peter Jackson for those movies.

Finally, the spinoff Radagast deserves.
Radagast 2: Radagaster
Radagastric Boogaloo
Staring Ana Gasteyer
