But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.
I thought it was the most beautiful fantasy movie ever made, but I will agree, their whole way of disposing the One Ring was a tad unnecessary. Especially when this woulda been a whole lot easier!

i also think that LOTR is a very great fantasy, i just think that could have had a little work done to it, i've read all the books and I own all the movies, I just think that one things is ridiculous, just goive the ring to a bodybuilder or something then I might believe it.

Not to ruin the lighthearted nature of this thread, but the fact that Hobbits were the only creatures that could resist the power of the ring was central to Tolkein's theme in the books.
Hobbits were simple people who had no desire for power. All they basically wanted was their pipe weed and their mead. Thus, they were more able to resist the temptations of the ring.
Remember, Isildur held the ring, but could not resist the temptation to use it for power. His hand got cut off and the ring was lost. Smeagol got ahold of the ring after killing his cousin to get it. This was all part of the ring's attempts to get back to Sauron.
Also, remember that Borimir attempted to take the ring from Frodo to use it to fight Sauron, because he could not resist the power of the ring. He died immediately afterwards at the hands of Sauron's minions (which would have guaranteed that the ring got back to Sauron). He was a big strong guy, but he would have failed.
but there has to be one hobbit that is like a giant or something somewhere in Middle-Earth

Here's a guy with 50 reasons why it's dumb. Most of 'em are friggin' hilarious!

That one's funny right off the bat! The number ONE reason it's dumb is "Crass Marketing", and the first thing that happens when you link to the site is that "you've been selected to receive two iPods". WTF?

I didn't get far through the list, but this was pretty dumb:

WTF part deux? I'm pretty sure the reason Stallone was given the opportunity to make Rocky Whatever, was because The Contender was getting ridiculous TV ratings.

I never read the books and although I enjoyed the movies, I was never fully drawn in by all the hype, I may of have had a predisposition to be partial for the films due to my Psycho X’s relentless LOTR parade.

that might well be true, but some hack could have made the movies and ruined them. That did not happen. The books are wonderful. The movies are some good and fun escape. All is well. The dark side lost again.

That sort of defeats the purpose of the Hobbits being "half-lings"... A giant Hobbit would probably be normal man size in the movie... Which would be ridiculous...
