you for mishtekk.. me deva no

concur that GoT got a lot more complex plot/characters with varying degree of grayness but to pull LOTR to trashcan is moreso with 'song of ice/fire' burrowing heavily from JRR' The Silmarillion

As I said earlier, I don't want any fuss about the books.

JRR problem-E illaiyE.
Of course, PJ's LOTR isn't kuppai, I've said as much.

I agree. Bullshit, is a harsh word. But it is awfully overrated.
Whatever had been written, it should communicate to me and GoT does that part much better than LotR. Perhaps, I could have enjoyed the grammar of LotR if it had been a series and still, I'd say GoT might have the edge.

this part I just don't get it..you rate GoT>>>>LOTR just after watching a episode of GoT

[kid-glove]

He says S01 of GoT, nearly 10 hours. LoTR should be over that easily.

K_G oh I stand corrected thot he just got started still me thinks this is a case of seeing what he wants to see..this was him just after reading GoT 'premise' about 3 days ago.

So much promise in the premise, when I compare it to the bullshit that is called Lord of the Rings.

that's some hate baggage

yuvar aanar, I asked for series reccos and when GoT came up, I asked whether it resembles LotR and Lord k_g confirmed that.
And, when I started watching it seemed 'radically' different from the film and after 1st season I am firm of that opinion now.

LoTR is one of the most hated films out there.

I suppose it's acceptable when the hype and glory of the film is a bit much? You don't see such reactions and counter-reactions for Harry Potter, for instance. Even though it has a huge fanbase.

Problem as I see it, PJ had a style in HC that haven't been utilized, could have easily built on it. Turning soppy, and impersonal, like Spielberg, Cameron, (both, I'd take over PJ) or what have you.

PJ doesn't help himself with TLB as his latest release. LoTR has its features, KK floored me when it released but when I revisted it in Pix few days back, it was 'meh'. The Hobbits will decide his fate, hope he doesn't make Sherlock-Watson invisible as dragons and hobbits.

[wizzy]

TLB was super lame..haven't revisited KK on a small screen..outside of TCM all other so called movie channels in India dampens the cinematic experience...last week Tsky pulled the plug on TCM much to my utter dismay

[kid-glove]

Oh dear! TCM'E pOcha!

[VENKIRAJA]

I'm officially a GoT fanboy from now. (BB is gonna end quickly anyway)
7 episodes of S02 straight and I'm gonna sleep just because I want to stay awake tomorrow night for the Arsenal CL match.
