yeah me too...
I could care less about the "hype"... I block it all out... I don't really subject myself to too much of it anyway...
I like ALL of the movies though... I always liked dorky stuff like that... and I'm a big movie dork too... so I win all over with all of them...
They have great effects and both have decent story lines...
I don't judge movies or whatever on how much hype is behind it or not... I judge it on IT...
I went to see titanic cuz my gf (wife now) at the time wanted to see it... so I went I sat through it... and realized that it was the WORST movie I've ever seen... 3 hrs of the crappiest storyline EVER... I guess the effects were good but it was such a gay subject matter I couldn't have cared less about a friggen boat full of rich bastards...
The WHOLE movie was like the first 45 mins. of deer hunter... just dribble... totally worthless and boring... at least in deer hunter it FINALLY meant something once the shipped out... with titanic it was just dribble leading to more dribble.
I will probobly see LOTR 3 in the theaters cuz after seeing 1 there and not being very impressed I skipped 2 and regretted it once I saw it at home... and 3 is supposed to be WAY hairier (in terms of fight scenes, great CGI etc) I don't want to not go...
And I love the franchise and the fact that the family has been so protective of it for sooo long to make sure it got done right...
And I love the director for doing such a good job...
And I CAN'T WAIT for him to do the hobbit...
It does piss me off though when you see a commercial and you think it's gunna be scenes from the movie and it turns out to be a video game comercial or a friggen burger king commercial or something...
I'm ranting...
