'jesus.....what the fuck is up with _w and all the LOTR threads'

i know, right?

i've watched about 13 hours of footage and started reading the books for some reason.....you're lucky this is only the second.

anyway, anyway.

i come across a piece by a chap called Dr Kwame McKenzie where he says....

'Peter Jackson used the same hackneyed stereotypes for the Lord of the Rings triology. The most fearsome baddies were big black and just a bit too Maori looking, the good guys - well white.'

surely there is no right in that statement whatsoever. i mean, i did watch it and think...'fuck, this is the whitest film since charlie and the chocolate factory...and at least then there were loads of people covered in chocolate'

but..shit...i dunno

also....the natives of skull island in king kong
