LoTR Takes 4 Oscars 636

At least they have 2 more chances for Best Picture or Best Director. They
definitely deserved the ones they got.

Next year's Oscars may not have as many other good films. Do you think that the Two Towers is the likely canidate for next years?

Well, I don't think that is entirely fair. For all the hype, crap and bullshit that goes with each Oscars ceremony, what it is really about is universal appeal to a panel who all want to pick a good film that is somehow "universal".
Mainstream films are the only films that ever get a look-in at the Oscars, but comedies have won. Some people might even say that LOTR is a great book, but a dreary mainstream adaption. Visual effects aside, I didn't find the characters anywhere near as pensive or wrapped up in their world as in the book.
And, of course, no comment about your comment about changing names of films, but a couple of references for the fun of it:

* Have Gandalf take a shot to the head and be mentally impaired for the next two movies;
* Arwen's role in Two Towers should be to sleep with some Orc played by Billy Bob Thorton;
* Sam gets Rain Man autism;
* Strider overcomes his disabilities and is able to kill Orcs using only his left foot;

That's why I don't think this movie deserves best adaptation or whatever. Great makeup, terrific cinematography, and outstanding setting--give it Best Picture, I don't care--but please, don't parade this as the profoundly perfect adaptation everyone seems to think it is.

I need to turn this into my signature, because you fucking no that any time someone writes this, they get +5.
Coincidence? I think not!!
Oh well, this will probably get modded down as flamebait or troll, but whatever.
