Thorny Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Has anyone seen 'Baskets'? It looks ###### terrible Haven't heard of it. Movie? Who's in it? Has anyone see the "horror" movie Basket Case? It's also terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Well, technically he exists. But he's long dead, he dies shortly after the battle you see referenced near the beginning of Hobbit 1. His son, Bolg, is the main villain Orc in the book, and he's still there in the movie. They basically just have two main villain orcs rather than one. Anways, I still like the Hobbit movies, due mainly to Martin Freeman's spot on performance as Bilbo. He's mentioned once in the book the orc who killed Thror. I googled this to make sure I wasn't misremembering his lack of existence in the book. Tauriel and Legolas also aren't in the books, AT ALL. This does a good job of breaking down the difference: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/17/the-hobbit-changes_n_6331340.html To be fair, I think the films' biggest crimes is that they are "films" and not "film."

Ya, you have it right. Was just mentioning that he's not a made up character. While only mentioned in the book, he does indeed fight in the battle that is shown in flashback in An Unexpected Journey. It's where we see him kill Thror. To be fair on Legolas, Tolkien has said that he WOULD have been there, had he known where the future story was going when he wrote The Hobbit. He hadn't invented the character yet at the time, but within his created history Legolas most definitely would have been living in Mirkwood at the time of the events of The Hobbit. In fact, at the time when Tolkien wrote the Hobbit, King Thranduil in Mirkwood wasn't even mentioned by name. Didn't invent the name until around the time of writing LOTR.

Drunkard Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's a new FC show with Galfinakis as a failed rodeo clownIt's not very good but Louis CK is one of the creators so I'm hoping it improves. Right now the best part of the show in that Zack Galifinakis's Mom is played by Louie Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 :huh: Well, yeah, there's some of that in there. And some dude with a 3rd leg, but that's beside the point; he just walks around all movie. It was great up to where I stopped, and Idris Elba was awesome, but Idk, couldn't do it. Which is weird because I've seen that in movies before and didn't have a problem continuing. I think it's because it happened to a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal, gripping, intense...and to call it "uncomfortable" would be an understatement. I felt emotionally run through a ringer by the time it was over, and I'm simply not the type that gets that into movies. And I honestly don't think I'd ever watch it again. But man was it great.

Really? I didn't look at it like a show, more so like a semi-documentary on Pablo Escobar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
