![]() ![]() (falls to his death) Tell Bilbo I never liked hiiiiiimmmmm!!!! (Gandalf) I'd much rather live the real way. (Gandalf) Yes! Fly forward and grab me, please! (Boromir) He will live forever in our hearts. (Gandalf) I can hear every word you're saying. (then Gandalf) I haven't even left yet! (Boromir) We must move on without him. (then mimicking Gandalf) Bullshit, I am! I'm right here! (then Boromir) He's never coming back. NC (voiceover mimicking Boromir): No, no. Frodo does! It's one of the few times he actually tries to take action, but what do they do? They hold him back! Why? There's no reason to! I suppose if you want to go out on a stretch, you could make the assumption that maybe the Orcs are firing at them, but hell, if you're just going to stand there and look at him anyway, the very least you could do is be a moving target by walking forward and picking him up. NC (voiceover): But the question is, "If he's hanging onto the cliff, why is everyone just looking at him?" Nobody thinks to run over and actually pull him up! Go! Save him! He's right there! You've still got time, you little idiots! No! I take it back. NC (voiceover): But in Fellowship, he hangs onto the cliff, most likely trying to make the line more dramatic. Gandalf (Bakshi): (falling to his death) Fly, you fools! ![]() In the book, as well as in the animated movie, when Gandalf is facing the Balrog, the Balrog uses the whip to drag him down with him, causing Gandalf to shout, "Fly, you fools!" as he plunges to his death. Yeah, kinda shocked nobody ever talks about this one. NC (voiceover): Number 11-Just Letting Gandalf Die. For each interlude on the Top 11, NC sings mock Elvish over The Fellowship of the Ring Aragorn/Arwen romance scene with the number fading onto the screen) ![]() (The title for "The Top 11 Dumbest Lord of the Rings Moments" is shown, with NC heard singing LOTR gibberish. NC: This is the Top 11 Dumbest Lord of the Rings Moments. NC: So, let's look over one of cinema's greatest accomplishments, by acknowledging its Top 11 greatest downfalls. I'm only judging these goofy choices in the realm of the films themselves. It's an adaptation, things have to be changed, I get that. And while on the subject, I'm not gonna put The Hobbit films in there, seeing how they're still in the process of being put out, and I'm also not gonna draw too many differences from the books. And hey, it's still good to look over the weaker aspects of a film, because, truly, no film is without flaws, and it's fun to review the mistakes and creative choices that, maybe in the future, could be tinkered with more, especially seeing how, technically, these films are still being made. NC (voiceover): I mean, with 558 minutes of film, of course there's gonna be problems here and there, and when you have a film series that needs to bring in a big crowd, you need to take big risks. (An arrow is fired at him from the left, but NC ducks, making the arrow hit a viewer and causing her to scream in agony) NC: But that doesn't mean it doesn't have some dumbass moments. NC (voiceover): After winning critical praise, box-office praise, tons of awards, changing the way many blockbusters are made, and being one of the best known film trilogies of all time, who the hell is gonna argue with that? Lord of the Rings went from being "the story that could never be filmed" to the best known film fantasy of all time. Knock-knock! Who's there? Lord of the Rings is AWESOME! Talk about “don we now, our gay apparel”.NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. Oh, and the Christmas party scene has to be seen to be believed. Robbins is hysterically not-so-subtle right up to the future Entourager’s inevitable demise and no orange jumpsuits in this prison, but stylish threads ones might find at either The Gap or Northbound Leather, complete with flattering hats and/or head gear. What isn’t gay about this flick? Stuart Wilson’s campy, scenery chewing Marek is positively flammable at times Kevin Dillon’s puppy dog adoration and unrequited love for Liotta’s Captain J.T. NO ESCAPE (1994) – Intended as Ray Liotta’s introduction to the masses as an action star, the Good Fellas actor seems to be the only one not in on the joke that this movie, set on an island prison, is actually a thinly disguised meditation on all things gay. Rumour has it that a scene in which Frodo holds Sam and proclaims “I’m the King of the World!” was cut at the last minute.įrodo to Sam: “I’m glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.” LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING (2003) – Rugged Viggo Mortensen and pretty boy Orlando Bloom may have ‘mo appeal, but it’s the epic ‘momance between hobbitsexual Frodo and hopelessly devoted Sam, complicated by the scheming, obsessed Gollum, that shapes this ring into a pink triangle. ![]()
