fileg, my unpopular LOTR opinions. Very Hobbit-centric at the moment because a lot of my RL friends are presently bemoaning and bewailing said adaptation.
1 - Re: aformentioned film - Breathe people. Really. While it is possible to have a film with v. good actors (they have got all my favourite actors who are not already in Game of Thrones), good directors and a solid production crew turn out bad, it's unusual.
2 - Also re: the Hobbit - Maybe the dwarves will finally get some of the recognition they deserve for they are awesome. Um, yeah, I'm an intrinsically dwarf-sort of person.
3 - Again, re: the Hobbit - some changes will be made. This is so people who are not already enmeshed in Middle Earth will watch the film, because, rightly or wrongly, a lot of people view The Hobbit as a children's book and will therefore not go and watch it unless they have children. Some of these people previously watched the LOTR trilogy, and would therefore be lost custom unless they're attracted to the cinema. We want them to keep making fantasy films, don't we?
4 - An oldie, but it remains the truth - Tom Bombadil is scarier than Sauron.
Forsaruwatari, my unpopular Star Trek: TOS opinions.
1 - TOS will always be my favourite. Because I love it so. I know it's not perfect but it has a high awesomeness per episode. Unpopular because, well, I know I ought to like DS9 better, and it's definitely my second favourite, but I just love TOS more.
2 - Kirk is not the skirt-chaser popular culture portrays him as. Or not the way it does. He'll give up a girl for the mission without a second shot. (Damn it, you're making me stick up for Kirk)
3 - Best Trek film remains The Undiscovered Country. I like the way it ties things up without cutting the threads. And that ending. And Worf's grandfather. And pretty much everything about it.
4 - I still don't get why everyone has such a hatred for season 3. It's not that bad, people.
