I watched the entire LOTR trilogy over the past few days, and started taking notes shortly into Fellowship. Some of them are chuckle worthy, so I figured I’d post em. Happy Thanksgiving!
The Fellowship of the Ring
Stoner Gandalf communicating exclusively via grunts is a vibe
The close ups on faces is such a fun choice
Saruman v Gandalf wizard battle is so funny
WHERES GLORF
It’s crazy how much conflict adds to a story
Tim Burton’s Mordor Fun Zone
Gimli x Legolas enemies to lovers arc goes crazy
Pippin knocking something into the well on accident and it being the loudest thing to ever occur is cute
Aragorn being a feral weirdo is strange
I like that the non humans still look human
Ahhh hell no, freaky ass gimli asking for Galadriel hair
The theme of Frodo having to learn that he’s not truly alone feels way better here
Sean bean and Viggo should’ve swapped roles
The ring visuals rule
Sam drowning is the hardest I’ve laughed at a movie in years
The Two Towers
I hate this one
Merry and pippin being relegated to comic relief only is tragic
Everything with the ents and the hobbits hanging out is fucking tragic
“Time is of the essence, time for an extended funeral!”
Thank god we got an extended backstory for the incredibly compelling GRIMA WORMTONGUE
Oh my god, we are seriously ADDING content to make the fucking horse fuckers join the cause????
Just get on with it, why would they not want to help!!!
HAHA DWARF MAN GROSS SO FUNNI
Bad movie for dudes that don’t fuck with horses
Aragorn Horse-Whisperer
Elijah Wood to Finn Wolfhard pipeline
Gollum breakdancing goes hard as hell
Stinky stew
Okay so like, I get it, we need to establish Arwen x Aragorn, but holy FUCK does this movie draaaaaaaaaaggggggggg
GIMLI CANT GET ON HORSE ITS SO FUNNY LAUGHING EMOJI
Get the wounded on horses
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN WERE DOING A FAKE OUT WITH ARAGORN DYING BY SUICIDAL HYENA
I love that the group of refugees all start mumbling “HELMS DEEP” to themselves when they see it
This move is such ass
Thank god that woman is reunited with children, I was so invested
Aragorn making out with Arwen’s ghost via horse is fucking insane
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
Elrond Hubbard
Thank you Galadriel for explaining the plot midway through the movie, what a great little catch up sesh
We should just let Gondor get overrun I reckon
For a guy wearing the most important item in the world on a chain around his neck, Frodo sure does like leaving the top buttons of his shirt open
THERE IS SO MUCH MOVIE LEFT OH MY GOD PLEASE MAKE IT STOP I HATE THIS ALL SO MUCH
Merry and Pippin have been sitting on treebeards shoulder for like a full fucking week
I love child soldier
HAHA GIMLI SMALL SO FUNNY
IT TIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST 
XD GIMLI IS SHORT
HE CANT SEE
YOU COULDVE PICKED A BETTER SPOT 
SHALL I DESCRIBE IT TO YOU, OR WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO FIND YOU A BOX
THE FUCKING WILHELM SCREAM?????????
Legolas shield surfing down a staircase and mowing down orcs with a bow is amazing
THESE ENTS FUCKING SUCK
WHY WAS THERE A WHOLE COUNCIL ABOUT NOT GOING TO WAR, THEN THE SECOND THEY SEE A FEW STUMPS THEY IMMEDIATELY ARE NOW GOING TO WAR????!?????
Peter what the fuck are you doing?????
Why is comic relief Gimli blowing the horn
JESUS GAMDALF
Ent with head on fire headbutting a wave is great
All of the new Frodo almost giving in stuff sucks
Don’t you know yer Sam???
Gandalf smiling and laughing while beating an orc to death with a staff is so bizarre
Thank you for the heartfelt speech Sam, I’m so sorry you were stuck in this movie
Faramir is so dumb
So do we pity Gollum or not? Cause like, we’re all just kicking the shit out of him and treating him like absolute garbage the entire movie
It’s really, really gay
The Return of the King
This is the grossest opening to a movie
I am so sad about Gimli
Gollum explicitly planning to kill them via Shelob is good
Eowyn is weird
Legolas is great
The new Palantir stuff is good
Merry and Pippin being split up is also good
Wow they really styled Arwen as Mary lmao
Explicitly evil Denethor is also good
Sam and Frodo are SOOOOOOOOOO gay
Gandalf smokes Mids
Mordor is SOOOO Tim Burton
Are foot fetish people for or against this? Cause like, there’s a ton of feet shots. But also, they’re covered in hair. Many questions
Not a single human with short hair in any of these
The fight scenes are good
It seems like we aren’t making Pippin hang out with the youth. Very stoked about that
The beacons being lit fucking rules
Merry cheesin while riding a pony
MORE WILHELM
“You sent the ring into Mordor in the hands of a witless halfling” you know when you put it that way
Okay I like this Faramir
The ghost of Sean bean cheesin goes insane
Constantly calling Sam the fat one is so funny, dude is built like a male model in 2025
Gollum is so fucking evil compared to the book
“Go home” brother we are literal thousands of miles away and all our food is gone
Pippin a capella over horses galloping, bows being shot, and the most vile consumption ever filmed is insane
Merry being infantilized and Eowyn being kinda useless sucks
Gimli, please don’t call him Arry
Noooo Eowyn please don’t fight in a war, you so sexy, smile more
Aragorn’s final challenge being the hallway at the back of a spirit Halloween is great
Can we have a single scene with Gimli where he isn’t being an idiot, please??? I’m begging you
Literal flood of skulls???
Gimli you made Legolas kill a man!!!
Sam actually just turning back is hilarious
Tunnels are gorgeous
I like this, I’m having fun
Oops, nvm, Eowyn is back on screen
The gossipy bitch who’s only purpose is to be dunked on is missing
LETS FUCKUNG GOOOO SAM
Pogged out of my gourd when he stabbed Shelob
I’m shocked there aren’t more kids named Frodo
The horse fuckers coming over that hill got a genuine “Hell Yeah” outta me
Theodden shoulda been played by Jeff Bridges
Shadowfax punting a grown ass man onto a pyre rules
Oliphants are cool
Even as she’s doing the coolest possible thing, Eowyn is still so unconvincing
Goddamn Legolas is cool
A THIRD WILHELM HAS HIT THE TOWERS
Army of the dead just straight up swarming an oliphant is absurdly rad
Officially noting that I don’t hate every change from the book, a lot of them are fine
Orc infighting goes crazy, that dude just fucking drop kicked someone
Gimli on the throne
GIMLI PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP
SAM IS SO GODDAMN SICK DUDE
Me when Philly beat KC in the Super Bowl
Sam, if you were to ever marry someone it was 1000% Frodo, shut the fuck up
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
Those 2 men are in LOVE
This move shoulda had a shampoo sponsor, Viggo is GLOWING
Why is Gimli up there
WHY IS ARWYN HIDING BEHIND A BANNER LIKE SHES PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK???
Sam with his hair done right is giving Tim Heidecker
Oh to be a hobbit, polishing a giant pumpkin
The zoom in on Frodo’s face at the wedding is so funny, poor fella
Elrond Hubbard converts an elderly hobbit to Sea-ontology, SAD
Rare footage of Frodo smiling
Absolutely gorgeous final shot of the boat
