One Word

[doug*platypus]

<B>One Word to Rule Them All</B><P>Describe in one word and one word only your thoughts on the LOTR movies so far, including if you want to how the adaptation from book to movie went. Any word, any language (although there's a lot of monolingual people like me out there, so if it's not English please provide a definition in brackets).

dismay

[Liriodendron]

COOL!

[mollecon]

(that's a pretty close description of my feelings)

[Liriodendron]

Ha! I like pleasant surprises. As I was waiting for the box with the "x" to turn to something, I was smiling, sure I would see the "blea, ill" smilie! Ah, a nice happy face. For the record, I am not a PJ freak. Of course, the books are far superior to the movie, but I have no problem with enjoying "cheap" ( how many millions ) thrills. I have gotten lots of pleasure from many of the images in the movie, I just ignore the crappy parts. It could have been so much worse....whatever...

[MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie]

Bittersweet.

[BethoHOG]

Awesome.

[Gorwingel]

Interesting

[The Saucepan Man]

Visual ... <P>... I know that films are, by their very definition, visual. I wanted to say visually stunning - but that's two words.<P>

[maikafanawen]

wicked<P>(as in impressive and powerful that is)

[Deiagorn]

Âarenýl<BR>'ARROW-NEL'<BR>Asendoric transation is err, hard to describe as it means 'I will' aswell. I guess it would be 'above satisfactory'..loosely...<P>In English i'd say its fantastic and addictive!

[Rose Cotton]

Captivating!

[Lily Bracegirdle]

Umm. . . simplified?<P>I can't top MLD Grounds-Keeper-Willie. Bittersweet it was indeed.<P>-Lily<p>[ January 12, 2003: Message edited by: Lily Bracegirdle ]

[Diamond18]

I'm going to echo Willie:<P>Bittersweet.<P>Eh, all right, I'll come up with my own:<P>Equivocal.<p>[ January 12, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

[GARY-the-White]

IM USING A SENTENCE l <P> --The best 3 movies ever made in history-<BR> rivaled by none

[PeregrinTook]

Outstanding! <P>You know what? It can't be perfect to the book if it's gonna appeal to 21st century people!! Although I wouldn't mind... But it would cut away the suspense for those who've read the books, also...

[Tar-Palantir]

worthwile

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

awe-inspiring

[Silmarien]

There's a word I've heard which means feeling two conflicting emotions about the same thing and that's the word I'd use if I find it I'll put it in

[Daisy Sandybanks]

Imaginative

[Saint of Killers]

[Dimannûnien]

wow

[Beruthiel]

amazing

[Arwen_Evenstar]

Hmmmm...<BR> Disapointing..... < < ^<BR> ^<BR>but good at the same time, but the above and to the left, is my word.

[Maikadilwen]

What the...?

[Alaggaeriel]

Heavenly

[Child of the 7th Age]

Everyone's used adjectives. Here's a noun:<P>Fanfiction

[Rimbaud]

[Darkside]

Blasphemous

[Greyhame]

"Taken-entirely-out-of-context-by-people-who-refuse-to-acknowledge-cinema-as-true-art"<P>Sorry, I cheated... <P>Although I do agree with Child of the 7th Age when she says "Fanfiction" as well, but seriously, has there ever been a grander, more breathtaking fanfic than this one?

[Balin999]

...<P>( I have seen the movies twice, but I still can't tell if I like it or not)

[Carrûn]

Moving.<P>(In both a positive and negative manner)

[Vardadurwen]

Fellowship: Wonderful<P>Two Towers: Bittersweet or Moving

[Brinniel]

Breathtaking.

[The Saucepan Man]

Rimbaud, from reading your thoughts on TTT on other threads, I would guess at "harrowing"?

[the mortal elf]

I was going to say awe-inspiring but Tigerlilly took it So I'll say "Triumphant" instead.

[Kalimac]

Bemusement. (This applies more to TTT, though).

[elven maiden Earwen]

bittersweet <BR>amazing<BR>visual<BR>or<BR>sad

[akhtene]

FOTR - awesome <BR>TTT - awful

[VanimaEdhel]

Understanding<P>To explain further, I understand how hard they tried to make the movies and, as movies, they are <I>amazing</I> if you go in preparing to <I>not</I> compare them to the books. They could not put everything in! While we would like it, they could never get permission to make eight hour movies.

[Phanatik]

whoa

[Blue Elf]

dissapointing<P>and since that's taken<P>moosh<P>Yes, that is a nonsense word, but if you say it outloud and in an angry tone, I'm sure you'll get the point

[Coral]

If she can say "moosh" then I can say...<BR>MEH. <BR>My own word, made up from hours of researching the history of nonsense words. In short, it can mean anything. Next time someone asks you a question, just say MEH.

[Pookabunny]

Wickedpeessah

[Calenamarthiel]

Memorable.

[Blue Elf]

I thought meh was my word...<P>Guess not...ever heard of neh, also?<P>And oh, for anyone who wants to put the word "cool" down, you can put the word shzink. Part of my made up language. Unfortanetly, that's not what I think of the movie...

[Coral]

You can keep neh, but I get meh! My word, my preciousssssss...Uhh...what were you saying? Oh right, Since we're on the topic of nonsense words, I have another one! *ahem*<P>Smeh.

[Iargwath]
