I thought one was bad, comparatively to LOTR, but was sort of won over with the extended cut. At least by then my expectations had fallen enough to admit that at least it is better than the rest of the crap Hollywood is shoveling. It is getting so bad you pretty much have to watch foreign films if you want a film with some class and sophistication; At least a lot of the really good stuff is either dubbed or done in English.

I do not see any problem with however long he wanted to make them; there is more than enough content for a dozen movies. It is sort of interesting that he mixed all this LOTR prequel stuff into it; though I do not think that he did a great job of it, as the childrens tale elements really seem to jive with the mature gritty action and LOTR premonitions. My problem is the sort of things he specifically did. Like have an elf falling helplessly in love with a dwarf because he implied his penis was huge (I am guessing that was not in the appendixes).

Comment How Would That Work Legaly? (Score 1) 187

I don't have any rights because of my consciousness, my emotions, or my intelligence, I have rights because I was born of two humans. It does not matter if I was brain dead, it does not matter what my genetics, my form, or my brain looks like. It is possible my exact dna could be grown a lab, and I would not even be considered a person, but instead a possession. So by what legal reasoning could an Orangutan be considered a person, any more than a rock? How does a court have any say, this seems like something that up to the law makers, not the law enforcers.

Is it completely different in Argentina? Do they base personhood off of intelligence or something? Are retarded humans considered Animals there?
