    @cee134 *squeal* omg I wanna touch it!

    Um.... on second thought, don't touch it. It doesn't seem to end well for the characters onscreen. :wink:

    I may lose my nerd pass for this but...

    I thought the movie Dune was Dumb
    Riding on the snakes was just... Dumb

    *gasp*

    I've never read Star Wars books or Harry Potter...just saw the movies. I prefer sci-fi and "horror".

    I liked reading encyclopedias when I was a kid and still enjoy reading dictionaries.

    How about the Dark Tower? Can we veer off in that direction? Obviously there are only 2 LOTR fans here! :-)

    Even I can't imagine a discussion of an encyclopedia...

    OMG I did both as a kid and as I got older I pretty much hid my habit of reading dictionaries...LOL. I didn't realize until I was in college that this is not *that* uncommon with curious kids.

    Although I did have a series of issues in Latin class when I looked up the naughty words in Latin with a particularly good dictionary and used the words in homework sentences. My teacher didn't stop me initially...I have the feeling she thought it was funny. I did get hauled into the Language Office with the admonition, "I don't know whether to give you an A or and F...but just STOP!"

    I can't remember the comedian who said, "I just read the dictionary...all the other books are in there." Sounds like something Steven Wright would've said, but I don't recall...

    I'll occasionally put on LOR and just let all 3 movies play in the background while I do chores and play with my son and make dinner...

    Its a good story and really pretty to look at, the elf women are hott lol..

    My biggest complaint is that none of the characters have any real swagger about them...

    I like Willow more, Mad Martigan was a bad *kitten* with Han Solo like swagger and I dug Sorsha too... Too bad they didn't do more with the story...

    Some movies, even if I don't love the story, I appreciate for the set design, costuming and effects.

    I did like the Lord of the Rings movies, even tho they were so long. I prefer to watch really long movies at home so I can pause them. I'm pretty sure part of the reason I want to go to New Zealand is because of The Lord of the Rings movies, lol, I'm sure it looks exactly the same!

    In the Star Wars movies I like the set design and "post apocalyptic", "wasteland" type atmosphere they created, as well as all the space travel and planet exploration, obviously! The actual story...I don't really pay too much attention to. The last one I kept getting distracted by the fact that Jyn's dad was Hannibal Lecter from the TV show "Hannibal" lol.

    Harry Potter movies were fun, they have a whimsical sense of imagination and adventure.

    I can't recall the name but there was a sequel written to Willow in the late 90's. It was about the baby as a grown up I think.

    I believe it was call Willow 2: The Willowing. Actually it was called, Shadow Moon.
