I like the ones that give you massive armies creeping implacably towards our protagonist(s). Those are cool.
Also, war elephants improve everything.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

They do. But as long as something falls on people and crushes them, it's not a waste.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I prefer them to be called olyphaunts.

Oppressors, calling them by their slave names! They are mumakil (with a circonflex).

This character died in Kingdom of Heaven, in the shipwreck, right? And who was he?
I can't believe they're all blending together.

ita, he must have died on the boat, because you didn't see him after the shipwreck. He was one of Godfrey's boys, the one who was standing just outside the curtain looking somewhat sad when Godfrey died.
I wouldn't have remembered that if I hadn't seen it twice.

Speaking as someone who is 25, (so maybe I don't fit into his demo) he's so full of shit. I have yet to meet ANYONE of ANY age who didn't think the Phantom Menace was horrifically boring and I've met only a few people who felt that the Attack of the Clones was tolerable.

I was 25 two weeks ago when I re-watched Phantom Menace, and there were so many things that I disliked about that movie that, if it was not a Star Wars movie, I would never. watch. it. again.

But that is the right guy, right? Suddenly the vaguely blond are mashing together. I seem to remember another blondish cute guy showing up after that point.

I feel I can speak with authority on this one, as I am 24 for another 4 months. Phantom Menace blew.
