I hope this is a joke...
Hey yall.
I haven't been here in probably a year or so...been busy with school, work, all that icky stuff, you know. Anyway, a friend told me about this website that really had her MAD. I don't know if any of you have been to see it...but I am seriously hoping that whoever wrote this is joking and I just haven't seen where he/she says "Haha this website is a JOKE" Check it out...but be prepared. It will have you wanting to strangle someone. Sure, I have no problem when people give me a good reason they think LOTR sucks, but they better have something to back it up with, something better than the crap this guy makes up. http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/film/50reasons.html PLEASE somebody tell me this was a huge big joke or I may cry at the ignorance that seems to be spreading throughout the world... Nilaraniel

I have seen this website before, and don't worry, it is not serious at all. It is just all in parody. I personally don't think this is one of the best comic things related to LOTR, but it is okay. So just read it, enjoy it, and have an enjoyable time
And besides just look at the name of the website: Pointlesswasteoftime.com Do you really think a serious website would actually have a name like that?

Yes, it's all a huge joke. I recommend the comparison of The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix and Star Wars.
Parody isn't always clearly marked as such. Sometimes you just have to look at what's being said and ask yourself if it's satirising its own message. In this case, it's pretty obvious that it is.

Yes, this was a parody, I've seen it before, and had to convince my friend not to hunt this individual down and skin him alive.
Although I wonder about this myself: Quote:

It's been awhile since I saw this site, and I enjoyed some great laughs looking through it again! Thanks for reminding us of that link!

Speaking of Orcs...
The Orcs were obviously stolen from PC game maker Blizzard and its Warcraft series. Too bad Blizzard is apparently too scared to sue New Line over it. not true, tolkien made orcs before this game came out! (1993) Gold: The Stretchy Element. The ring, which is seen to be at least two inches in diameter at the beginning to fit the polish sausage-sized finger of Sauron, suddenly fits Frodo's child-sized finger later. I guess this movie takes place in a world where rings magically change sizes on their own. tolkien did say it happened in the book Homage or theft II? The wise old wizard character was stolen from Harry Potter. again, tolkien made this book before harry potter came out! Homage or theft III? The "travelling on our quest through a corn field" scene was stolen from Shrek.see above and many other homage and theft things...that guy did very little research with the books...

Very funny. I also really liked the other pieces he wrote on Eminem, The Matrix and KaZaA. Rather close to my sense of humour, unfortunately it's a sense of humour that many people just don't understand.

Ah yes, I was hoping this was still around! A lot of it is sadly semi-true. Like kids being forced to read a movie-version of the book. But I never saw Boromir played by two people, as said in #4. By the way, switching Darrens refers to Bewitched. The original Darren (Dick York) couldn't carry on the role, so they replaced him with a new guy (Dick Sargeant) without telling viewers. And, since they looked so much alike, most people didn't notice for a long time.

OK, I've heard of not liking LotR, but this guy HATES it with a burning passion! I feel like doing some spy work. I should register, you know, and then see what they think, then expose myself. They'll go nuts! Hehehehehe. I've always liked to be devious. BUT, nothing gets my blood boiling like a pack of lies about Frodo and Sam and his savvy bunch. SO, I shall have some fun with this whole stupid website of theirs! (where's the devil smiley when you need it!)

One of the Nine;
I don't understand how you can say he hates The Lord of the Rings. After all, us Barrowdowners parody the Rings all the time in Middle-earth Mirth. Do we hate it? Of course not.

It takes some interest in a matter to look at it closely enough to make a parody.(:
Altho a good deal of these are as lame as you can get, I have to admit there are some real chuckles, esp the french, the elven arrows secreting gland and the wizard unflamable facial hair. Maybe I'm easily amused but I'd rather stay so
