    This was actually incredibly accurate and gave a pretty good summary of the movies. Like the joke was just the names and titles, everything else was completely reliable, and I think that's probably my favourite thing about this.
    Also Legalize Greenleaf and Fucko. Good shit Neil.

    • @Nat_the_Chicken
      @Nat_the_Chicken 2 года назад +12

      Not completely accurate, there were a few very intentional fumbles of the actual story, such as "Sneaker and his twin brother Colin who lived underwater" (a very confusing interpretation of a split personality), and "sworn to protect Feivel as he went west" (he went southeast).
      Edit: they also say Gandalf _gave_ Frodo the Ring, when he specifically avoided possessing it because he didn't want to be tempted by its power.

      NimbusFilms Howard Shore's masterful soundtrack for the Lord of the Rings trilogy will live on famously forever as one of the greatest film soundtracks of all time; classics such as "The Road Goes Ever On" and "Concerning Hobbits" may stay in people's hearts forever, but my personal favorite and the singular piece that I really think ties it all together is "howtobeamil~1.mid".

    I love how the one name he gets right is "Elephants," which is the name Sam gets wrong.

    • @Leib33
      @Leib33 9 лет назад +41

      SpashTheBandragon Tolkien called them "Oliphants" in the books so Sam (I'm guessing you mean in the movies) got it right and yes, they are elephants on steroids. Obviously Tolkien had the power of prophecy, because he named them after Timothy Oliphant who is also tall and handsome.

    • @Bunbaroness
      @Bunbaroness 9 лет назад +2

      Leib33 I think the joke in the books was supposed to be that Sam was mispronouncing their names. I'm not a Tolkien enthusiast, though. I'm sure there's some other RUclips commentator out there with an encyclopedic knowledge of Middle-Earth who could give us a proper answer.

    • @jprg12
      @jprg12 9 лет назад +16

      SpashTheBandragon They're called mumakil as primary names. "Oliphants" was a nickname for them. I don't think it was Sam mispronouncing them. Tolkien just took a spin on the word.

      Matthew Prousalis got it exactly right. I was, of course, having fun, and yes, I've been a Tolkien enthusiast since around 1968. And I've read all the books starting back then about 9 times. I even like the movies even though
