Four Word Film Reviews of the first movie.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
"Midget safeguards evil bling." is my favorite of the bunch.

I like the double meaning in "Child smuggling ring discovered," and attempted humor like "Tyler plays arrowsmith's daughter."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Loved all these:
Weaving wouldn't, Wood would.
Little guys, big feats.
Frodo fingers slippery ring.
The Ring and I.
Magneto versus Dracula. Awesome!

You know, I found fwfr.com browsing my brother's old college message board archives from 2001, and then two days after I post this rare, obscure find, the site wins a Webby award. Now I look like I get all my links off Boing Boing.

Hee! The latest collection from Foxtrot is titled, "Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything." The cover is of Jason and two other LotR-costumed fanboys surrounded by a theater full of drooling teenaged girls.

I can sympathize, as someone who went to a weekend matinee showing of Back to the Future III unaware that Michael J. Fox's ass would be featured in close-up early in the film. I think the combined squeals knocked birds flying overhead out of the air.

Yeah, the second time I saw ROTK the crowd was me, 6 cow-orkers, and about 40 teenage girls. Who SQUEEED when Legolas appears in Frodo's doorway at the end. (Which covered our snickering and rude comments).
Just watched ROTK EE again. It made even less sense this time. But I realize that these movies aren't movies for me - I appreciate them not as I would a normal movie, but as a group effort of a bunch of artists. As movies, they are flawed. As authentic re-creations of a world that never existed, they are peerless.
