No orcing way....
Whaddaya orcing know...
I can sort of see it.
What a hideous monster. The orc is pretty ugly, too.
Orc: “I’m not THAT evil!”
"Yes, I follow the dark will of Sauron, but I don't rape people! That's just sick!"
i can EXCUSE saurons evil, but i draw the line on harvey weinstein.
Hey thats pretty offensive. That comparison is cruel to the orcs
Courtney Love once walked past some microphone-wielder at an event, who asked if she had any advice for aspring young women in the business. Her friend muttered something to her and you can hear her reply, "No, he'll sue me," but then after a second she went back to the mic and said, "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a party at the Four Seasons, don't go."
courtney love they could never make me hate you
Try the roast of Pamela Anderson. It'll make you hate everyone involved.
i watched it years ago, but i was 13 so i was the target audience lol
I do wonder how much of the Courtney hate I've seen over the years was started by Harvey over that.
"Hard to work with" is Hollywood code for "This chick wouldn't suck my dick in my office"
30rock had a couple of jokes giving some hints.
Weinstein also threatened to replace Jackson with Quentin Tarantino or John Madden
Hahahahahahaha can you imagine
Lots of close-ups on hairy hobbit feet.
Arwen stepping on an orc's balls, with the orc played by Quentin Tarantino of course
And Arwen played by Uma Thurman
wouldnt she be eowyn.
Samuel L Jackson as Gollum, Buscemi as the Mouth of Sauron
Buscemi would have been a legit excellent Wormtongue or Denethor.
Boardwalk Empire really sold me on his range as an actor.
Y'know... I'd watch that
This made me think of what Gilbert Gottfried would have been like as the Mouth of Sauron
You're out of your depth, Wormtongue!
You know it’s be Galadriel or Arwen.
Also, he’d definitely cast himself as the guy who calls the orcs the n-word 17 times.
I really wanted a Tom Bombadil taking off his boots scene.
Then we could have a scene of Goldberry sloshing through a muddy stream with her feet, in front of a grunting old man willow.
John Madden
like this?
Ok I would watch this, it would be terrible on the best possible way
John Madden
...the handegg guy? 🤔
The Shakespeare in Love guy
Not a much better fit tbh 😄
While a lot of people think it's Gothmog or the Orc Inspector, according to the mask's sculptor Michael Asquith it's actually this background orc
the resemblance is uncanny.
TheyreTheSamePicture.jpg
I thought it was Gothmog.
One orc among many in the Lord of the Rings movies was designed to resemble Harvey Weinstein as a “sort of fuck you” to the notorious producer, Elijah Wood, who played the hobbit Frodo in the series, told a Hollywood podcast.
Wtf is this opening paragraph
You did know that Elijah is a notorious producer?
Gave me whiplash
Well at least you know a human wrote it since it’s such a disaster lol.
This was recently spoken about because Dom [Monaghan] and Bill [Boyd, who played hobbits Merry and Pippin] … were talking to Sean Astin [Samwise] about his first memory of getting to New Zealand [where the series was filmed].
Truly written for the layperson.
What the hell is a hobbit now?
Bummer of a thumbnail for Elijah there.
Why does PJ look so much like Elijah Wood?
Now that you mention it, I've never personally seen them in a room together...
I don’t know how he has done it. Before LotR, he was largely unknown. After LotR, nothing big came out. So I understand that film studios were hesitant, as so many people try to pitch their ideas as the next billion dollar movie.
It just had to happen. And it would have never been as successful with Miramax or with only 2 movies. Everything just perfectly fit, something that probably isn’t going to happen again in our lifetimes.
You know we have this thing called IMDB. It could really fill in your gaps in this situation.
