The scene where he harangues sean bean for wanting to place two snipers on opposite sides of a street is a meme in my friendship group

I love his shooting and driving faces in it. He's always squinting and shitting himself.

There are readers who are obsessed with him (not a position I share). Omitting him from the films was the right decision on Jackson's part.

Well he would be.

9 year old Bill scouted the bookshops of Glasgow searching for a copy of the Tommy B poems, little did I know, ask me at the next northern dissensus meet-up about T family gossip, lol, I can probably throw in a bit of Peake biz on top

It was very thoughtful of you to start the thread off with some material he might enjoy.

I've been listening to the audiobook of The Fellowship of the Rings, got further than I ever have before (the council of Elrond)
I suppose I might feel differently if I'd read the books first then watched the film but as it is I have to say Jackson and co improved on basically every aspect of the story you can think of. More gripping, thrilling, "funny", emotionally moving etc.
Obviously they were working with the world and story Tolkien created so I'm not saying Tolkien is shit (although I think he's quite a shit storyteller and an unremarkable writer)
It's more to say that the films are a bigger achievement than I'd grasped before
Might plough through the rest of the audiobook for completions sake. It does flesh out stuff that the films didn't have time to cover, ofc.

I saw it on Reddit (and loved it) about half an hour before I saw it here! But couldn't work out how to share a Reddit link here while using it as the app on my phone, annoyingly. Obviously an X link is much easier.
I really wanted to see what that filter would do to Arwen...
