Agreed. I watched The Hobbit last night. What a pile of glossy garbage. Hang your head in shame Jackson.

I was trying to hold back my enthusiasm for that movie to come out.... well founded in doing so. Even with the low expectations that steaming pile of septic garbage did not meet any of them. Jackson you are an over-rated hack!

Terrible. I would desribe it as "Lord of the Dwarves by Disney" (or "Snow White with Trolls, and Snow White is a Hobbit").

What's most tragic is the EPIC soundtrack from the LOTR films, one of the very best things about that triology, was made to sound tired, almost vapid.

Anyhow, a bit off-topic. :D

Lord of the Dawes?

Think we could all use a bit of off-topic.

FWIW, they weren't going for an epic sound on the soundtrack. Scored and arranged differently to try and achieve that. Perhaps should have gone the whole hog with a different composer.

Perhaps there's something in that for our own PJ to draw on ... though not sure what. Replace the bugler?

Parts sounded exactly the same, and its now lost its impact through overuse.

That said, if you ever get the chance to hear the score played live, do it. Last year a friend convinced me to attend a screening of The Two Towers at the Opera House, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra playing live. Whether you like orchestral music or not, worth very penny.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
