+898 Hey Frodo and crew, when Gandalf tells you that a balrog is coming to kill you, it doesn't mean to wait until it's right around the corner, it means to RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIVES, amirite?

Lol at "Frodo and crew" You mean the Fellowship?

Oh, I actually didn't know there was a technical term for all of them. But now that you mention it, that makes total sense

Thought I'd let you know Gandalf is the shit! "You shall not pass!" is my favorite line from the trilogy.

You know that was a repost, he stole that from the French at Verdun in WW1.

Did you know that in the first volume of LOTR Gandalf says to the Balrog, "You cannot pass," instead of "You shall not pass?" I was shaken when I read that in the book.

Haha that's the shit too! Gandalf is just such a badass.

In the movie scene he turns around and immediately says, 'You cannot pass.' Then Frodo screams, 'Gandalf!', and then Gandalf does his whole 'Yooouuuu shall not paasssss.' thing.

Dang, a POTD I know nothing about and can't make a witty comment on. On a side note, did you know that in all the Lord of the Rings movies, they used distance to make characters look bigger than other characters? They weren't actually that size.

And perspective. Like Gandalf's wagon and the table in the hobbit house are both in 2 different pieces.

Yep. Our chemistry teacher was telling us about it om the last day of school while everyone watched lord of the rings. It was pretty cool, and nicely done considering the time frame the movies were made in.

I've only read the books. Didn't want another great series destroyed by the cinema so I haven't watched the movies D;

I thought the movies were pretty well done. They obviously weren't perfect, but I think they captured the essence of the series rather well. And the music rocked. It's one of the few book to movie transitions I enjoyed. *shudders at memories of Percy Jackson and Eragon*

Hey Bilbo and gang, when Gandalf and Beorn say STAY ON THE PATH in the forest on the way to the Lonely Mountain, they mean follow the path, not chase elves and get lost, captured by giant spiders, and locked in a dungeon.

Such an awesome comment! Exactly what I was thinking when I read the hobbit!

My favorite line in the movie is when Pippin asks where they are going after they decide to destroy the ring:)
