Wiendish Fitch April 3 Share April 3 (edited) The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Spoiler Forget the destruction of the ring, was I the only one who wanted to throw a damned parade when that twisted, disgusting, miserable little parasite Gollum finally bit the dust falling into the volcano?! I loathed that little creep, never had a drop of sympathy for him, and was so relieved Frodo and Sam were free of that particular millstone around their necks! And good for them for not giving him an undeserved memorial, a al Terra from Teen Titans. Gollum/Smeagol was bad to the bone (I suspect possibly even pre-ring), so he isn't worth the effort.

He had moments when he nearly turned to good, but it never quite happened. Once due to Sam's harsh words. It's probable he was bad even before that fateful fishing trip, he certainly succumbed to the ring as soon as he saw it. And somehow, spending 500 years in a cave didn't help his personality very much. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18647-the-hell-yeah-movie-moments/page/9/#findComment-8624965

Spartan Girl April 3 Author Share April 3 I'm of two minds about it. Sure, Gollum was corrupted by the Ring and went insane from it. Sure, he had a moment where he could have changed had it not been for Faramir forcing Frodo to betray him. But in Return of the King, he had pulled so much crap that by that point, he was beyond redemption. So while I didn't cheer when he fell, I did laugh. I mean he just looked so stupid laughing and holding HIS PRECIOUUUSSSSS when he fell into Mount Doom -- as karma goes, it was pretty fitting. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18647-the-hell-yeah-movie-moments/page/9/#findComment-8625076

When Defarge breaks into the Darnay's home, Pross locks her in a room and wrestles a gun out of her hand, but not before this exquisite exchange: Miss Pross: Oh no you don't! Madame Defarge: Let me pass. Miss Pross: Never! I know what you want. I know what you're after. And thank heaven I'm put here to stop you - for stop you I will! Madame Defarge: In the name of the Republic... Miss Pross: In the name of no one, you evil woman. You've killed many innocent people. No doubt you'll kill many more; but my ladybird you shall never touch. Madame Defarge: No? Do you know who I am? Miss Pross: You might - from your appearance - be the wife of Lucifer; yet you shall not get the better of me. I'm an Englishwoman! I'm your match! You tell her, Pross! I love that movie. One of the few cases when I've read the book first and still preferred the movie version (also the 1958 version which took some liberties but still kept the spirit of the story). 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18647-the-hell-yeah-movie-moments/page/9/#findComment-8627444
DoctorAtomic Sunday at 03:39 PM Share Sunday at 03:39 PM I always seem to like Dickens adaptations to TV than the books. I'll have to try again, but it's been brutal to me to just get through a page. There was a Bleak House version in the early 2000s on Masterpiece Theater and I was riveted. No way I would read the book. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18647-the-hell-yeah-movie-moments/page/9/#findComment-8627513
BlueSkies Yest. at 12:59 AM Share Yest. at 12:59 AM The Wedding Planer. Like most Jennifer Lopez movies, beautiful woman, gives a pleasant enough performance. It didn't do well at the time with critics but it was all right. a solid 6 out of 10 stars. or 7 if I'm being generous I did enjoy though watching a film right before the cell phone/smart phone era took off. Yahoo got mentioned in the film so it wasn't like that old Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18647-the-hell-yeah-movie-moments/page/9/#findComment-8629170
