Please noooo.... More movie madness
« on: Today at 02:49:55 AM »
After having Napoleon inflicted upon us it seems there is no end in sight for (potentially) bad movies.

The Hunt for Gollum. Not just one but two movies!  Perhaps I am being pessimistic but I suspect this will be plodding and full of awful fantasy tropes.

At least it doesn't look like PJ will be directing.

I'm waiting for "Sam Gamgee Trims His Nails", which will certainly need at least three films.

I would have to agree. There is nothing really there to make a film, let alone two films.
It will all be made up stuff. Like that bad Amazon Lord of the Rings show.

 I see there going the Star Wars route by watering down and exploiting the franchise by churning out unnecessary content. Enough with Andy Serkis he's ruined enough movies.
