Some of Gimli's lines were great, while the rest were completely f***ed up. Why the hell would Gimli be lagging behind while they were marching across Rohan, when Dwarves are supposed to be HARDY? And then he says that DWARVES ARE SPRINTERS! WTF!!!

No, they aren't, and it's dwarves. Same with elves

Yes, well, maybe Gimli is color blind but you didn't read between the lines enough to see.

And Gimli lagged behind because he was slow and Legolas is super fast. Because he's an elf.

If you are super fast, chances are you can not go as far before getting tired, and the opposite is true if you're slow. I mean that Gimli was slow and hardy, yet in the movie he says that dwarves are natural sprinters, when in fact they are more like cross-country runners.

And where is there any proof in the book (or movie) that implies that Gimli is colourblind?

If that's the indication of a perfect movie, I should be shot.

Unless you're an elf...then you have endurance.

Gimli lagging behind was played out slightly for comedy, I believe.

Oh I like Titanic. Usually I hate Leo. He was particularly horrible, in R&J and Man in the Iron mask, me thinks.

Poor guy, he was the only one who didn't win an Oscar for Titanic.

I liked him in Catch Me if You Can.

That's it.

I honestly think that Titanic didn't deserve all those Oscars. Lord of the Rings deserved some acting nominations.

It definetaly did.

Dwarves aren't runners. He just said they were good at sprinting because he obviously failed at long-distance.

Yeah, and I'm going to get a Nobel Prize for my essay on friendship.

It wasn't that bad, for a movie in the 90s. And it was the first movie about the ship to actually succeed. All the other failed horrible.

Did you understand the trailer for December Boys? It seems a little over rated.

December Boys looks like a boring film...I probably won't watch it.

I know...and he's was too old to be considered an orphan anymore.

Uh, Dwarves are supoposed to be good at long distance, not sprinting.

Freak of nature. :P

What? Elves are cool.

*Takes out fake sword and prepares to battle the chair*

I don't get it... Why use swords when you can simply strap some C4 to the chair? :D

What is C4?

Explosive. Favorite of Middle Eastern Suicide Bombers.

C4 is a particularly powerful explosive (1.33 times as explosive as TNT) which can easily be shaped to fill whatever gap/container you want it to and is also very safe to handle, as it only goes off with both heat and pressure, so you can shoot at it or set it on fire without it going off. Just not both.

I never said Elves aren't cool. And speaking of C4, I am currently GM'ing a d20 Modern campaign with Elves AND C4!!! ;) *Seconds Post's ruling about me*
