    me?

    yeah i did read the first one.. when i was younger.. and when i started the 2nd one i got bored.. I know the best is at the end.. (just like every novel)

    so yes, reading the book influences a lot my opinion on the movie.. but I can't change that..

    anyway there are so many good things to enjoy... I don't need to waste my time with lotr.

    LOTR books are alot better than the movies. I also don't understand why they left crucial characters like Tom Bombadil out of the movies.

    I can't remember Tom Bombadil, it's been too long for me.

    But you remember in the first one they got trapped by some ghosts or something? Barrow Wights!

    I was sad they left that out because it gave me chills when I read it

    You know the extended ones are 4 hours each. Including every part of every book would make like like 5-6 hours each. Way too long.

    I f**king hate that shit man. Here in the Netherlands the 2 movies of grindhouse are gonna be released seperatly and without the fake trailers. We protested against by sending letters to the distributor and some people went even that far to mail Quentin about it.

    Want to know what the f**ker replied? "It's better this way, you europeans arent used to double features."
    I used to think he was cool but now I think he's nothing but a f**kface, don't tell us what were used to and what we need. We wanted the double feature because it was supposed to be the double feature and just give it us instead being a wannabe shrink who says its better for us as it is. Quentin f**ktart.
