I just posted an argument but then my internet crashed, great. My "terrible" arguments? They're better than just picking a random number out and saying "This is how many films there will be, ignoring that the last Harry Potter film is in two parts making it 7 not 8" and "sticks and stones may break my bones, but your silly words don't hurt me". And about the teacher with vodka: "What the hell!?!" She shouldn't be doing that in a classroom.

Corrections are enlarged. If you're a teacher then I sincerely worry about the gramatical future of your students.

My bad. I guess I will refrain from mentioning it in the future.

Undead---God:

How am I picking out a random number, exactly? There's going to be 8 Harry Potter movies and there's only 7 books, this is a fact (meaning you can't deny it, that it's not a random number, and so on...) and so your cocky remark of "4 books, 4 movies Genius" is completely wrong. Your defence against that is just "Well yes, but one of the books is released as two parts in two movies, which makes it one movie". That's just ridiculous, and insisting you're right isn't doing you any favours. It's two different films and if you think it's one then you should take it up with the director instead of me, since I'm not going to bother responding to random babbling.

In truth, Lord of the Rings is one book - JRR simply then padded it out with enough dreary, over-written descriptive and tedious half-baked 'lore' to stretch it over three of them. There's actually a story buried in there trying to get out - it's just that the story itself is only about 400 pages if you got rid of the rest of the drivel and made it more readable. Like, say, the Hobbit.

A whole 600 words describing a rock and pages of endless, incomprehensible singing at Tom's house is not a way to write a book.
Lord of the Rings sucks.
Just saying.

Well you're probably right, but I don't think I'd like the hole vampire-love thingy.

Holy mother of god this. I tried to read the Silmarillion, and it's just the exact same, without the story. It's in a drawer. Somewhere.

I've attempted reading the Silmarillion, and only got halfway before giving it up as a lost cause. The problem is that Tolkien only finished half of it before he died, then his son wrote the rest based on notes that Tolkien made. It actually starts off sounding somewhat like a story, and I'm assuming that's the part he wrote, but after that it feels like a textbook, and becomes nothing but dates and names.

 After a while it seriously just goes "And then (insert elvish name here) traveled to (insert elven city here) and stayed there for five years. Then (insert elvish name here) he moved to (insert elvish city here) and stayed there for two years. Then (insert elvish name here) died from an orc ambush" It gets THAT monotonous...

MrJazzy:

I would consider reading/watching it if it wasn't for all of the unserious comments and reviews about the movie. I do not belive a 14 years old, crazy girl tells me that "twilight is the best movie(/book.. most girls just saw the movie) ever maaaaade, edward is so hot <3<3<3<3<3!!!". That's what most of the girls has to say about the movie. Doesn't really expose a lot of intelligent knowledge about movies/books, does it?

Then you don't like Bram Stoker's Dracula?

That was very much so, a love story.  A very sexual one, I might add.

I guess you just have to be interested in the mythology and history of the books. I got through them ok...altough I haven't tried the Silmarillion yet.

Don't get me wrong, I've read the LotR trilogy, but the Silmarillion is a bloody text book!

Here's a few pointers that may help you out... Going around stating that your smarter and more mature then every one else tends to annoy people and be very insulting to others.. if you cease to do that then people might not find you as annoying.

Your people just destroyed a hard built character with a simple stupid decision. Yes i understand the game said it was irreversible

I think you'll find it was you.
