What? you think I haven't read the book??? I have read all three of them in fact...

What I mean was how the movie is gonna be like, in terms of how they are going to describe the scene from the book to vision.... the way they design Isengard, Helm's Deep, Rivendell, the crater of mount doom itself, the way the landscape looks... What the battle scene looks like, what the spider that stung Frodo looks like....

No one will know until the 3rd one.... unless they release a sneak preview.

i liked the two towers, but i don't think it entertained me as much the chamber of secrets did (maybe im just a kid at heart :D) ....

that said, the special effects in the two towers were absolutely amazing. the fight scene at helms deep was tantalisingly real as it could get, some of the tactics used, such as the ladders, were just fantastic...

and the fightin trees and the water....oh how cool!

and how does appreciating a movie relate to being nerdy? :shake:

im so keen to see it i have read all the books except the 3rd one which i will read b4 the movie. I cant see it yet the cinemas are to packed and alot of tickets are prebought so im got some for sun night. I didnt like the way the story of gandolf(spelling) and bilbo was so compressed in the the first movie but to get this right they would of had to do a seperate movie so all in all they did a good job. You dont have to be a nerd to like a movie or a book thats like saying you a pervert for admiring a fine woman!!!!!!!!!:lol:

mad movie!  

Whats the name of the book for part three ?

I wanna read it before the movie comes out !

Anyone?

The 3rd one is The Return of the King - much better if you read them all though starting from The Hobbit.

Self confessed Tolkien fan

the film was great but i enjoyed FOTR more than TTT since Peter Jackson didn't play with Story as much in the FOTR.

He messed some of the story up big time.

Faramir, Eomer, the Elkengard (spelling), Haldir the love triangle to name afew things.

Don't get me wrong I loved the film as the effects were great and the battle was at Helms deep was amazing. Golum was awesome and I think hes portrayed better in film than in the book. I just think the few story changes Jackson made detracted from the film abit which made me enjoy it less than i would of.

Oh and a last note which twit reviewed TTT for the Sydney Morning Herald. Lol his comments made the West Australian and boy did he stuff up. Pointing out bloopers that weren't even there, from what he said it sounded like he hasn't read the book properly and doesn't know the story to well. ie he was complaining about things that where left out when there not due to shoe up till ROTK haha. Also pointed out that Jackson used his kids in the film and himself as an extra in the Helms Deep battle, why not its his movie and directors do it all the time. Man that reviewer is a tool.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
