Yeah I wouldn't go that far.The ASOIAF badasses are Bronn, Oberyn Martell, and Wyman Manderly (read Book 5).
I mean he's cool but he's still so fat that he can barely stand up which eliminates him from badass contention imo. Meanwhile my boy smashes the Tullys at the Goldentooth, captures Riverun, and when he's finally outmaneuvered he goes full yolo at the Whispering Wood. He charged Robb Stark's bodyguard and would have killed him if his sword didn't get caught in the neck of the Karstark dude.

True, Fingolfin was a beast, though in Tolkien's notes when the Middle-Earth version of The Apocalypse happens Turin gets to give the kill-shot to Morgoth.Feanor's the most badass of the Elves because he was the only Elf to truly have some attitude.
Yeah Feanor went out with a bang too. Wasn't he killed by the lord of Balrogs or something? Plus of course he actually made the Silmarils and had the balls to full on defy the Valar!

We see too little of Sauron to really get a judge for him as a badass beyond him being very powerful.My pick from that universe is Túrin Turambar.
Turin's a baller for sure but he never challenged Morgoth 1v1. Fingolfin was the true badass in that book!

Replace them with the Iliad/Greek Myth versions and you might be getting somewhere
Well the Iliad versions would be more handy in a staightup fight but they aren't really badasses, they need gods to walk them through everything...

How the hell is Avengers getting so much love? It was pretty formulaic and boring upon re-watch IMO.
I still think that it is very good as comicbook films go and great just for sheer entertainment value but definitely not on the level of LOTR

I guess the moral for the story behind my rankings is that the quality of the whole series was quite consistent for me (the range only encompassed one letter grade) and even if I ranked something relatively lower than usual I still cherish all of the entries. The different directors all brought a unique style to the table and helped to keep the installments fresh and exciting. IMO the books are clearly superior but that does not diminish the achievement of the films in any way.
-
That's sad dude. It's such a small part of the movie.
I thought the entire plot of the movie revolved around the 'Other Women' exacting revenge on Nikolaj's character?
-
Well, good movie or no, I can't bring myself to watch a film where my boy the Kingslayer is reduced to this
-
I'm astounded that The Avengers is even a consideration against FotR, though. Seriously, way back at the beginning, I expected FotR to take it the entire way.
Yeah that surprises me too but I still believe that FotR is a near-lock to win both this round and the next regardless of what happens in the other match-up.

Why all the love for Frozen? I mean sure it's a great film, but it still has quite a few flaws and besides this is TDK we're talking about here!
Also, why does being a superhero movie automatically mean it doesn't deserve to win?
No real reason except that I've convinced myself that Frozen is far superior to pretty much everything

What's the likelihood of IM3 going down? 50%?
I'm slowly becoming a believer of that milestone. Would be the ultimate crown. And Elsa needs that damn crown.
Yeah especially since she threw her old one away

Cool my two favorite films of all time are in the semi-finals and I don't have to choose between them yet either
The Avengers vs. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Frozen vs. The Dark Knight

I disagree. First the Green Goblin is Spider Man's arch nemesis so not having him would be silly. And secondly from what I've heard DeHaan as Goblin is one of the redeeming aspects of the film. Electro is the problematic villain
Well I can't judge it until I've watched it but that said I have absolutely no desire to go and find out because I already saw the same thing back in 2002...

From what I hear, the movie itself is disappointing
Not too mention as unnecessary as the last installment. They could at least TRY to be original but no they decide to include a villain from the last version of the franchise which is still only seven years old...
-
According to Mojo it opened with 7.4 and finished with 39, about a 5.5X.
Which, as Rsyu mentioned, is quite bad for Japanese legs
-
I don't think BB paints a very positive portrait of drug use at all. They're not glamorizing it in the slightest.
For a show centered around Crystal Meth there is actually very little emphasis placed on actual drug use anyway. In fact apart from a few scenes with Jesse there is almost no time spent on the effects it can have, although there are a few consequences for his character that come from his addiction. However, by and large it's much more focused on the business side of things which makes for a far more interesting show.

Sorry, I'm confused. Are you guys predicting ASM2?
And what do you think it will open to?
Talking about other movies like Spiderman, are you crazy? Didn't you get the memo? This "Japan" BO forum topic is now an up to the minute Frozen update/forecast thread

No Game of Thrones though
-
are you familiar with the "rocky horror picture show" phenomenon?
Well it was a little before my time but yeah it achieved a huge cult following and ultimately made over 100 times its budget. Once those musicals hook ya its pretty much a done deal for huge BO numbers. As Rsyu said, it's a little early to be comparing Frozen to that in Japan but I'm still leaving the door open
