What "deliberate trolling"? I still cannot understand why this guy is still being taken seriously. I mean...come on. He waited several years, after the movies came out, after the DVDs come out, until when they asked him back to do The Hobbit and then said "no. Pay me more money even though I've already made millions off of this stuff. Gooba gooba goo." His claims simply do not add up. These are facts. Peter Jackson does not look good in this situation.

Please

1) cite sources to back up this opinion

2) explain how this has anything to do with the quality of aforementioned films.

Thanks.

A good example, I've already mentioned that the lawsuit was older than the current Hobbit mess, but Isaac chooses to ignore that.

Oh look, I can cite a source

Petey Wheatstraw

Written in...2005. So what? That's still two more years than he should have waited if New Line actually owed him money. Why would he not mention this earlier, like...before the DVDs came out, before he did all the promotional stuff for New Line? I smell a crock of bullshit.

First, you say that...

QuoteHe waited several years, after the movies came out, after the DVDs come out, until when they asked him back to do The Hobbit and then said "no. Pay me more money even though I've already made millions off of this stuff. Gooba gooba goo."

Someone posts facts (something you claim to have and have come up empty on) and in response, you say

QuoteWritten in...2005. So what?

Yeah, don't let those pesky facts get in the way of your hatred.

and again, the subject *was* the quality of the films of the LOTR trilogy until you changed the subject. A subject which, interestingly enough, you don't have the facts straight on and do not understand the full complexity to make a discussion about it.

So, i ask you, AGAIN....

1) cite sources to back up your opinion since you have the market cornered on facts, and all...

2) explain how this has anything to do with the quality of aforementioned films.

I shall sit here, waiting, in what is most probably a futile gesture.

Work it Isaac! Work it! Let that spittle fly! Don't back down when something you said is shown to be clearly wrong!  :clap: take that step back and regroup to take another shot.

QuoteWhy would he not mention this earlier, like...before the DVDs came out, before he did all the promotional stuff for New Line? I smell a crock of bullshit.

lol this is hilarious, please keep it coming, others must be enjoying it as much as I am.

Clearly all accounts are finalized instantly, and then they go to court immediately, of course!

Oh wait, the handling of the manufacture of the dvds is one of the things the lawsuit is about, damn, if only you had actually read the article!

Oh well.

Keep em coming.

Petey Wheatstraw

I am RIGHT, goddamn it. If you were FUCKING PAYING ATTENTION, you'd clearly see that Jackson's claims are LUDICROUS. Go ahead. Keep ignoring reality. Up is down. Black is purple. Peter Jackson isn't full of shit. Daisies are worth more than gold. Scientology is a religion. Coke is healthier than water. If you set the inside of your nose on fire, you turn into a dragon. Wrong, wrong, FUCKING WRONG.

Duh...duh...duh...duh...duh....Isaac said something that made sense! I better act like he's wrong because I don't have an argument or else he'll continue to make Petey Jacky look bad! DER......

ChrisHanel

*sigh*

This is worthless. Isaac, this is how this has gone down:

Isaac: I hate Peter Jackson's films.

Chris: I think you're saying that just to start an argument.

Isaac: No i'm not! Peter Jackson's lawsuit is retarded!

Chris: How is Peter Jackson's lawsuit tied to the quality of his films?

Isaac: Peter Jackson's lawsuit and its timing are totally retarded!!!!

BathTub: Your claims about the timing of the lawsuit are not factual, and here's the proof to show it.

Isaac: Well, Peter Jackson's lawsuit is *still* retarded.

Chris: HOW IS PETER JACKSON'S LAWSUIT TIED TO THE QUALITY OF HIS FILMS???

ISAAC: I CANT HEAR YOU LALALALALALALALA OMG IM RIGHT YOU'RE A MORON

Petey Wheatstraw

I'm sorry, but where the *FUCK* have I said that my opinion on this lawsuit has ANYTHING to do with my opinion on the quality of Peter Jackson's films?!? ???

ChrisHanel

Exactly. It doesn't. But i was trying to argue with you about your reasons for hating Peter Jackson's films, and you changed the subject. Now you seem insulted that I would insinuate that you were connecting the two. Funny, that.

Calm the hell down and show some tact. I don't like your tone, and I've stayed pretty diplomatic on this one. I think you owe me the same.

Petey Wheatstraw

I just made a single side-comment. I don't see how you can insinuate that I was trying to change the subject.

ChrisHanel

A single side comment that became attempt after attempt to ignore my question, only to feign insult afterwards that I would say such things.

I'm leaving for a few hours, so you have plenty of time to explain:

"Why do you hate the LOTR trilogy so much?"

Please do not answer with:

"Peter Jackson is a hack"
or
"Peter Jackson's lawsuit is stupid"

-Chris

Petey Wheatstraw

I've explained why I don't like the LOTR trilogy. It's poorly scripted/adapted (it's a bad idea for a writer to try and act superior to the work they adapt, if the work in question is on the same quality level as Tolkien's LOTR). It manages to be too fast-paced to be comprehensible and as boring as watching a snail slide across the ground at the same time (and I like long movies). The CGI is unconvincing. The acting is FUCKING AWFUL - because of the poor direction (the actors are great, under better directors). If Peter Jackson had tried to do the whole story as a single film, there would be only one more terrible film that I would have been forced to watch, instead of three.

They managed to be TOO fast-paced while still being boring? That's quite the feat, I must say.

Exactly what I was thinking. And that's all I have to say about that. It's quite apparent that this guy can't be swayed from his opinion and I don't care to even begin to try.
