Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

That's incredible......you guys still get kids? I haven't seen a trick or treater in our neighborhood in 3 years. Kind of sad. All the kids on our street grew up. Or maybe they're visiting more bountiful neighborhoods. Yes, about 250 typically at the house where we set up the Driveway of Doom haunt...

Re: The Rings Of Power

You can nitpick fantasy vs reality vs this vs that. That's the whole idea beyond suspending disbelief. If everything were down to 100% realism, you'd never have an explosion in Star Wars/Star Trek, the universal translators in Star Trek would work, but a Klingon's lips wouldn't magically start movin...

Re: The Rings of Power

Even the few minutes we had of the forging of the elven rings were not free from inconsistencies and cringe moments... I mean, how would Celembrimbor not have been aware of the possibility of joining metals? Or how to do it? And how exactly do you get the 'pure gold and silver from Valinor' out of ...

Re: Pure StarWars Discussion

I recently went back and rewatched the prequels and the original animated short series of the clone wars whilst I was doing research for a creative project. I do now agree with some criticism that there was something that made Star Wars what it was and now it’s gone. I definitely believe it was Geo...

Re: The Rings Of Power

Overall I rather enjoyed the series, as in, it was entertaining to me. I must admit, did not see the twist coming, but oh well, its not always fun to guess all the twists. Was it a faithful adaptation of Tolkien, nope, not at all. But then again, I never assumed it was going to be, its a rather loos...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

I can only admire Nurse Ratched from a distance, never having met her. Well somehow I managed not to see that BC already answered you, but having composed this, I'll go ahead and post it. To answer your question is a little complex. She was in essence the pope of Bajor, but she was a hypocrite and ...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

A bit belated, but RIP to Louise Fletcher, who so notably portrayed Kai Winn in DS9. She died Friday and was 88 years old. Fletcher is most famous for playing Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" but of course to us she'll forever be known as Winn. She was a character that w...

Re: Greetings from Indiana!

Welcome to the forums DracoAdamantus! We have a variety of collectors (and non collectors that enjoy conversations here). A lot of us (myself included) are mostly blade collectors (oh wait, thats my name :D ) We also have many collectors of statues (WETA and the like) and various other types of prop...

Re: The Rings Of Power

1)I said under 30 and under because I was giving those over 30 the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps I was mistaken ... 2) I am talking about the written word, not the transposition of the text to the movie. 3) And I seriously doubt that Tolkien wrote all that he did and as he did "to boost the wo...

Re: Pure Star Trek Discussion

All this talk about different versions of TMP and what was there, what was cut, remembering things etc just reminds me a giant Star Trek Mandela Effect going on. I would also like a Borg origin story... was it a race of some sort of humanoids that wanted to enhance with cybernetics then all of a sud...

Re: The Rings Of Power

I have forced myself to think of this as having nothing to do with Tolkien just to watch it. That's far more effort than I've made. Watching a tv series should be fun, not forced in any way. The fact that this one attempts to masquerade itself as something that it's not while claiming that it's sup...

Re: The Rings Of Power

Narsil wouldn’t have been forged yet though would it? It was forged in the First Age, so it would have been around. It really does not matter though, as they are not really following the Tolkien lore or timeline at all. It just some names being used and a few generalizations of little bit's of Tolk...

Re: The Rings Of Power

I've watched the first 2 episodes and was entertained and am intrigued. Obviously its not 100% canon and never will be. These are nothing more than adaptations taken from an overall lore, if someone can't accept that, then this isnt the show for them. No matter what, JRRT's works are still available...

Re: Picard returns!

Watched the teaser for the final season of Picard. Wow, just the cast giving voice overs while their pictures are on screen, but I kind of got a little choked up if I am being honest. TNG was "my trek" so to speak. I love those characters, and while Picard has been far from perfect, just e...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

It is a stunning piece but I've never been a big Weta collector. Don't get me wrong, their stuff is gorgeous but these recent years the price tags and sizes of these pieces are overwhelming. the only Weta piece I ever got was the Pre-Ruined Orthanc, which I love but that was back in the day when thi...

Re: Picard returns!

Season 2 of Picard was definitely not without its problems but seeing Q back and the interactions between him and Picard were, to me, always a highlight in TNG and their interactions didn't disappoint (well, for me at least). Picard the series is wrapping up after Season 3, with what seems to be a T...

Re: Pure StarWars Discussion

I havent seen the Obi trailer yet, as I have tried to avoid trailers these days and just go in the show or movie "blind" Speaking of Mando and Boba/Bubba Fett... I liked the idea behind them, but overall, I was rather bored with both. Ironically, Mando bored me but Boba bored me even more ...

Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

I loved the look of the DVD set, just like books and very classy. I kept it even though I bought the BluRays, though it's tucked away in a closet (my shelves and racks are already too full). The BluRay box looks very nice, at least the version I have: i keep my DVD EE set on a shelf in my game room...
