Grrrr it’s on Amazon prime.

That’s why I love Better Call Saul. It’s on a normal tv station.

I haven’t and don’t plan on watching that trailer.

My initial impression is underwhelmed.

I saw it by accident.
Ok it looks ‘epic’ in the trie sense of the word.

But it couldn’t be further away from the spirit of the stories. At least from that glimpse.
It’s trying to be LOTR even the sweeping camera stuff.

Those stories are far more intimate even when they’re brutal and battle and cities being seiged etc

I dunno. I’ll watch it I guess.

I recommend you all read that book before this drops. You’ll have an informed opinion then

It reminded me of the those mid 00’s Golden Compass and Narnia movies with its look in some scenes. For the money I thought it’d look better. The one thing that concerns me the most is that meteor and a guy coming out of it and a little hand helping him up. If thats you know who being helped by a you know what it makes zero sense because the major advantage the good guys had in the LOTRs was you know who had no knowledge of you know what’s.

Don’t think it’s a meteor it’s something to do with Melkor or something.

I’m also going to re read the book

Still doesn’t look quite right. Acting questionable. Hope I’m wrong.

I heard there’s a storyline where a young, spunky Arwen is kidnapped.

Don’t get me started, spike…

Also, if they’re not using Howard Shore for the music, it better be damn good.

They filmed on location, so at least she'll be able to run.
