Fea, (and everyone else interested), there are bonus points for whoever guesses the film from which the title of this thread was taken.
Ooh, bonus points. All right, Eomer. You strike me as the type of guy who would steal an idea from... [que the music: duhn duhn duhn]... Mallrats. How's my accuracy? Right? Wrong? Do I belong in an asylum with a big strong guard named Biff?

All I know is that the Phial in the film makes me uneasy, and I can't understand why.
Uneasy? Maybe you have spider-blood. Don't worry, I know where you're coming from, Eomer. The phial didn't feel right to me either. Actually, the size was fine except I thought it was too small. But that's just me.

Regarding the Phial, it's heartening to know that I'm not alone.

Fea, you are right, and you are now the recipient of bonus points awarded by me. Well done!

It was indeed Mallrats (the only Kevin Smith film I like, by the way).

Why is it every time i see the Deagal/Smeagal scene I cringe? Oh right, because Smeagal uses a worm that is so utterly small on a rather large hook, the worm doesnt even look like it fits. Not sure if i consider this a blooper, but i bugs me

YES!!! I just LOOOOOOVE getting bonus points. As for the last bit of your quote... no Dogma?

Another thing that tweaks my "right" nerve is... Haldir. I can't stand him in the movies, and I have no plausible reason to dislike him. The acting was great, the costuming, everything... I have no good reason. I just don't like Haldir. He's not... right. He's not wrong, just not right.

I'll agree with you on that one. There was absolutely no reason not to like him, but I just didn't like him in the films!

The white orcs...
That really, really annoyed me. It was too much of a contrast from what was shown in the first two films. Plus there is the e-vile continuity to look at. I mean, come on: the dark lord, the dark tower, the dark land... and the albino orcs?

(I may get *ARROWED!* for saying this...) I didn't really like Legolas in the movies. Maybe it's his "Captain Obvious" moments, or the drastic change of character, but I wasn't too fond of his portrayal. The image I had was of a slightly sarcastic, smart-alecky elf, joking about bringing the sun down to melt the snow on Caradhras and waving at the two snow-bound men as he jogs off over the snow. MovieLegolas was... a bit flat, really. *shrugs*

Abedithon le,
