    Fellowship —Dave Schuler
   A few spoilers: 1. Fellowship is the first part of a trilogy 2. There will be two more movies in the trilogy 3. Gandalf looks suspiciously like Magneto 4. Elijah Wood is four feet tall in real life 5. Samwise is *not* voiced by Roddy MacDowell 6. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)  
   
        Re: Fellowship —James Brown
     (...) Speaking of which, one little thing that bugged me all through the movie: The Dark Lord's stronghold is apparantly not Mordor, but is in fact Morrrdor. Roll the first "r", but definately not the second. Ah well, it's better than finding out (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

         Re: Fellowship —James Brown
     (...) Yes, well it does. But there is some dispute among Tolkien scholars about just how long Gandalfs toes were. Some claim that his toes reached about to his belt, based on scientific evidence relating toe length to thickness of eyebrows, while (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

          Re: Fellowship —Richard Marchetti
      (...) I only saw a teeny piece of it, but it looked to have been better than that. Less cheese. I remember thinking that the lion looked fairly decent. -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
     
          Re: Fellowship —Steve Bliss
      (...) Much as I hate to dispute Hop-Frog, I thought the shows were pretty cheesy. Of course, I watched all 3 tapes, so I may be biased... Aslan did *look* fairly decent, but didn't move very well. Steve (23 years ago, 26-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

         Re: Two Towers (was Re: Fellowship) —Dave Schuler
     (...) That's pretty funny, in a tragic sort of way. Not quite as long ago, back in June of 1989, I saw Tim Burton's over-hyped "Batman" with a girl named, delightfully enough, Robin. After we'd taken our seats, but before the film had begun, I went (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

         Nemesis, thread two (Re: Two Towers (was Re: Fellowship)) —Dave Schuler
      (...) Not sure of all the details (because I'm only a part-time geek), but I presume Janeway made the film for continuity's sake and because Jeri Ryan is busy with Boston Public. As far as the Romulans & Borg, there was some TNG episode regarding a (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
     
          Re: Nemesis, thread two (Re: Two Towers (was Re: Fellowship)) —David Koudys
      (...) Yeah, that's what I explained to them. In 'Star Trek' time, Voyager would have been home for a year or two before the events in this movie happened--presumably getting Voyager home mostly intact would have gained a promotion for Janeway.

      (...) Heh. I did a general search for "Doohan" on LUGNET to see if anyone had already posted, and I came up with this thread.
