Because I like revisiting old rants: Bakshi's Lord of the Rings gets bashed

OK, I posted this a long long time ago (it was one of my very first entries) but seeing some clips of this abomination again made me modify and repost it

ahhh is it an abomination????? and is it wrong that i want to see it just cause it might be something i can mock the entire time????

[dangermousie]

It is a total abomination. And yes, very mockable.

Also, ICON!!!!

yeah i think i'll put it in my blockbuster que just to say i've seen the horrors of it...

and thanks i had to troll all over the internet for that pic..... i loved the movie although i get why people didn't like it... and p.s. stay after the credits

I want to rewatch this just so I can remember everything you just mocked! The horror of it explains why Bakshi never finished the story.

[dangermousie]

Yeah, and also his backers came to their senses and pulled out the $$$. So terrible.

Hi! Came here via koalathebear.
I laughed out loud reading this. Seriously, it makes me want to watch it, the obvious crack! that it is. Thanks for posting this. *g*

[dangermousie]

You are welcome! :)

And it is total total scary crack. Mr. Mousie and I had a great deal of fun mocking it.

I think worst part of this movie was Enormously Long Hairs and Beards. and tender stroking of said beards (this Boromir death scene with Aragorn? eeeeewwwww).
and pretty much everything else as bad too. poor Tolkien -(
