on Jul 11 2008 06:10 AM Peter Jackson is cool. I saw many hot guys on 'ric h ki ss . c om'. Also I saw his profile there. He's sincere, sexy and honest there since he's a certified millionaire there. Of course he's one of the quality men there. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 11 2008 07:34 AM In reply to this comment (#1860156) Could we get a system up to flag spam comments? Almost every article I read on here is tagged with a comment advertising some useless website... it's pretty annoying (Reply to this) |

on Jul 11 2008 09:40 AM Yeah, the cheesy web plugs are pretty annoying. I'm not sure there's any way to programmatically pick out the way that site was listed, though. Maybe we could a moderator? I'm sure the RT folks have TONS of time on their hands... (Reply to this) |

on Jul 11 2008 10:01 AM In reply to this comment (#1860515) But anyways, that is cool news about the "bridge" film between the Hobbit and Fellowship. They arent going to make the film just cause they can, they would only make it if it seemed necessary. Although they could make it in any case and make a crapload of money. My guess would be that even if Del Toro didnt make that bridge film, someone else would... (Reply to this) |
on Jul 11 2008 01:31 PM I just noticed the spambots are getting more 'advanced' though- Notice this one started with 'Peter Jackson is cool' before it went into its misbegotten sales pitch? *Soon* we won't even be able to *TELL* that b#tchkiss.suk has infiltrated us.. BACK on topic-- Del Toro sounds respectful and earnest and it all sounds great. I admit I patently don't believe him when he says there's no outside pressure. Maybe not yet, anyway. PLEASE stay strong with this, dude. I WANNA BELIEVE! (Reply to this) |
on Jul 11 2008 02:27 PM I'm just glad to hear that he's going to stick with the more "innocent" lighthearted tone that the book has. Should be a lot of fun. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 13 2008 02:17 PM I'm only gonna watch the bridge if Frodo rides a skateboard and says things like "Radical, Dude!" (Reply to this) |

on Jul 15 2008 09:05 AM I like his mention of the gaps in the power of the Ring. The Ring should be treated as much more of a novelty or trick and should seem much less evil. The audience will know but the characters should not, though Gandalf has his suspicions. Anyway it's all good to hear! (Reply to this) |
