Why LOTR Sucks: What I Learned During The Council Scene
- Boromir is a total jerk, a jerk that is well played by Sean Bean.
- Dwarves aren’t very bright.
- Elrond isn’t the only elf with a stick up his ass. I thought elves were supposed to be fun loving and gay.
- Frodo has a serious migraine.
- So does Boromir.
- Dwarves and elves don’t get along.
- The ring can only be destroyed in the fires of Mordor, which seems like a shitty place to take a vacation.
- Nothing rallies a group of people together like a Hobbit saying that he’ll take the ring himself.
- In a movie with a lot of cheesy scenes, this one may be the cheesiest.
- Hobbits aren’t very bright.
Also, we get three slow motion close ups, and Gandalf may or may not have a tear in his eye, so let’s count this as one slow motion close-up of someone crying.
Minutes Watched: 1:45.39
Number of Montages: 4
Number of slow motion close-ups of people crying: 3
