davenportram Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Is that the guy who was rocky's trainer? I watched both and the one with John Malcovich in it is ok but boring once you have watched it. Rocky's trainer was burgess Meredith, he was the penguin in Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Lord Of The Rings? Books (or book in my case) far,far and far better than the films. Films are as good as i would of hoped..... but nothing will touch the book. Started with The Hobbit and didn't stop reading until the end of Lord Of The Rings. The flims don't cover the riddle games with Gollum. Infact, Gollum is a far better character in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 ^^ Yes, but then the films also didn't have that tw@ Tom Bombadil in them either...... Contact - Awesome book (Carl Sagan), sh1te movie (Jodie Foster) - somehow, for some reason, they decided to lop off the most interesting third of the book and instead turned it into the final 5 minutes. Thanks. The Time Traveller's Wife - Enjoyable read inextricably turned into a chick-flick movie. Tw@s. Friday Night Lights: Book = Movie = TV Series - a story that apparently works in every medium..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside: Tesco near me have LOTR on Blu-ray for £5 each, or you can spend £22 to get the boxed set. Might be available in other tescos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The extended editions are coming out later this year. You'll probably be able to get the theatrical editions even cheaper than that eventually. Besides, only the first movie is a proper transfer, the other two are just upscaled, which your TV will do to the DVDs anyway if you're connected via HDMI.
