I'd like to say one thing that Maverikk seems to always use...
He claims in all his arguments or he mentions the swarms or great number of fanboys saying Lord of the Rings is the best movie ever made. You exaggerate it either intentionally or you've brainwahsed urself to believe that.
there are only a handful of posters to whom you always refer that are crazy fanboys who think LOTR is the best movie ever made.
A great deal of them are LOTR fans who don't think it's the best movie ever made, who think it could have been better, but for what it is, it's one of the greatest achievments in cinema or adaptations to film.
Then there are also those who really aren't big fans but do acknowledge the strength in film-making involved and defend the Best Picture, Director and some tech awards, while not agreeing to the sweep.
You categorize ALL these different types of people into one category and those who are LOTR nuts and it goes on un-debated but it really is an important aspect of this laughable exchange of arguments. I think it's important to note that everyone has a different opinion and while it doesn't really matter because your motives are more fanboysih than any of ours and your arguments don't have merit, it should be pointed out and not be let for your advantage.
And don't bother trying to take anything apart in my post, I won't even read it.
I'll bet you do read it. \:D/ You are seriously delusioned. I only categorize the blind defenders, which there are many. Your post means nothing, because you're very biased. Let's break this down, shall we?
The World According to RaffikiA "handful" think that LOTR are the best films ever made (maybe all those people who have listed one of them as #1 were just bad typists, and we can chalk it up to a typo, or maybe you think people have hands the size of King Kong.)
A "great deal" of them think it could have been better, BUT still think it's one of the greatest achievements in movie history.
The ones who "aren't great fans" STILL acknowledge the greatness, because it's greatness is so strong that they had to admit they were wrong for being doubting Thomases, because the movies are brilliant.
All in all, you have just claimed that EVERYBODY thinks that LOTR are incredible films, all while trying to explain to us how I'm exaggerating. And what do you know, not a mention of those who weren't impressed. I guess they don't exist in your world. =;
