I always thought it was just like a couple people murdered. But recently read the wiki and it was 60+?! Like a cover up type situation that got way out of hand over 15-20 years. Wild.

Also never read the books, but recently picked them up on Kindle with audible narration to read/listen to at the gym. The newer audiobook is narrated/performed by Andy Serkis, and it is amazing! I'm almost finished with Fellowship, and I can't put it down. If you've ever been curious about picking up the books, I highly recommend the audiobooks. Make sure you get the Andy Serkis version and not the previous narrator.

I read the book a while ago, and we were taught about the murders in social studies class back in the 90s.

The ghost king's answer is left open until the army arrives at the harbor of Minas Tirith in the pirate ships. In the theatrical version, it really looks like it's over for the good guys in that moment while in the extended it's more like "when does Aragorn finally come"?

Yep, The Batman is very obviously inspired by Seven.

Sauron is essentially a spirit, albeit an extraordinarily powerful one. He is able to take many different physical forms, and once had a reputation as a shapeshifter. However, when he made the One Ring he put most of his power into it, so that he could better control it and therefore the other rings of power. It isn't that his physical form isn't visible when he doesn't possess the Ring, it's more that he doesn't have the power to manifest it in the same way. All he's capable of is the form of the Eye, and that's only after centuries of regathering his strength.

It’s 190 minutes so a little over 3 hours

Genuine question. What’s the point of this comment?

I think you're right? I recall it being the case that you're instructed to ONLY consider the evidence presented at trial.

"It has been re-made"
Ghost: "Explain that to me, we've got time"
I'd honestly like to think that the part we don't see is just them sitting down at a table as Aragorn starts the story from the beginning.

YES! Aragorn asserting his authority to Eomer and the other riders of Rohan during their first confrontation was genuine King Shit.
I particularly loved the chapter where the fellowship had just departed Lorien and passed the Argonath. That whole sequence of Aragorn assuming a king-like appearance and exhuming a determined aura was amazing.

>Also this is one area where the theatrical trumps the extended.
How come?

Taxi Driver isn't a bad movie. It's a movie you don't like. Those are two completely different things, and people on this sub REALLY need to start using those two completely different concepts correctly.
It's OK just to say you don't like something. There are plenty of works of art which are universally considered to be great which I just don't care for. But that doesn't make them bad, it just means I don't appreciate them as much as other people, and that's OK.

I don’t know the answer but I think that was all done to point out how much the public defender had mailed in the defense.

It bugs me this one didn’t get more recognition for that. The performances were all quite good as well.
