1). No incestual love triangles
Maybe not, but I was always expecting Frodo and Sam to start fricking at any time.

Because the Eagles of Manwe don't meddle about in the affairs of Men. They only appear in extreme circumstances.

Wouldn't have minded seeing Galadriel, Eowyn and Arwen in a three way lez out.

Technically speaking Arwen and Aragorn are related so number one is false.

Yeah, but they're like 3,000th cousins, not brother and sister.

Hey he's the one that said no incest. He didn't specify how far away

Infinite pages.

This thread reads like a Kevin Smith script.

This pissed me off so much in The Hobbit like why the frick didn't they just fly them to the lonely mountain
Because the whole point was they wanted to get to the Lonely Mountain in secret. All of Middle Earth wanted the Lonely Mountain and was waiting for Smaug to die. A flock of giant Eagles flying straight towards a place that everybody is supposed to be scared to go to might tip some people off.
Same in LOTR. Stealth is the key. Sauron is constantly on the lookout for the One Ring and he has spies all over Middle Earth. Eagles anywhere near Mordor before Frodo is already snuck in probably seems suspicious.

I always thought it was because the Eagles wanted the fellowship and Dwarf parties to overcome the trials of the journey for themselves... and anytime there was absolutely no hope they came in to save them.

There's been no riveting tales of cunnilingus...yet

LOTR is the best fantasy universe by a wide margin.

True. I was never a huge Star Wars fan as a kid and the prequels brought my interest in the franchise down to almost zero. Fellowship had me hooked the first time I saw it.
"Fellowship" is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen.
The plot line progress after 3.5 hours is virtually ZERO.

I know you're trolling, but this statement
is sooooooooooooooooo wrong. The 1970s were a great era for movies -- The Godfather and The Godfather II, Jaws, A Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Exorcist, Grease, Taxi Driver, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Rocky, Chinatown, Saturday Night Fever, Smokey and the Bandit, The French Connection, etc.

The only reason people get so worked up over Star Wars is because it was an exciting film in the lack luster era of film.

LOTR is the best overall trilogy but Star Wars has the best overall film in Empire
Posted on 6/3/15 at 3:57 pm to timbo
I liked the Lord of the Rings a lot, but the Hobbit trilogy is worse than the Star Wars prequels. Put it this way, even after The Phantom Menace, I paid money to see the other two movies. I saw the first Hobbit movie in the theater, damn near fell asleep and had no desire to see the other two. shite, I haven't even bothered to watch them on HBO OnDemand.

It's really not even close.

Agreed, and it's not really close for me.
And I say that as someone who loves Star Wars. But LotR is my #1 trilogy of all time.
ETA: Empire may be the best movie in the contest, but LotR as a trilogy is a lot stronger IMO.
