10 Looong Movies That Are Worth Sitting Through
Avatar made $73 million at the box office this weekend, which means a lot of people sat through two hours and 42 minutes of blue CGI people. That's pretty lengthy by today's standards, but it's not like the film isn't deserving of a few hours out of your day. As I mentioned before, the special effects alone sold me on it.
Buzz's 20 Favorite Movies of the Decade
As we come to the close of another year, I've been counting down the best in entertainment from over the past 12 months. But let's not forget that we're also celebrating the end of the decade, so you know what that means — a recap of the top music, movies, and TV from 2000-2009! There have been so many creative, smart, and fun choices to keep me busy that it's hard to decide which ones deserve top honors.
A Fabby Halloween: Sassy Sorceress
Unlike evil witches, sassy sorceresses emote a mesmerizing, tranquil beauty. Arwen Evenstar, in Lord of the Rings, captures this untouchable ethereal quality to perfection. Her ornate headpieces, dewy makeup, and flowy dresses are so beautiful, it can turn the most brash man into a smitten softy.
Would You Live in a Hobbit House?
Apparently, Hobbit houses aren't big sellers. Developer Ron Meyers's housing development, "The Shire," which is located in Bend, Oregon, has only sold one home since the project began nearly two years ago. And granted, I am a Lord of the Rings dork, but even if I weren't I'd still find these houses pretty cute.
10 Books That Are Better as Movies
It's a strange experience when you realize you're enjoying a movie more than you enjoyed the book on which it's based because so often the opposite is true. After all, presumably an author has the advantage because he/she can provide deep insight into characters that actors have to convey with but a glance. Every so often, though, a story makes a lot more sense onscreen.
Sean Bean Finally Gets Married ... to Wife Number Four
Sean Bean fans, prepare yourselves for heartache ... the Lord of the Rings actor finally married his 29-year-old girlfriend Georgina Sutcliffe at London's Marylebone Registry Office today. This wedding follows fast on the heels of last Thursday's ceremony at the register office in Westminster, when Nicole Appleton got Liam Gallagher down the aisle at last.
Peter Jackson to Produce — But Not Direct — The Hobbit
The long-held disagreements between Peter Jackson and his Lord of the Rings studio New Line are being put aside as the two parties discuss their future collaboration on The Hobbit prequels to the Lord of the Rings. Jackson has agreed to serve as executive producer on the Hobbit films — but he will not direct.
There will be not one, but two prequel films shot simultaneously — similar to how the Lord of the Rings films were done.
What's Buzzworthy? Movies With Great Costumes
As we ease into October I've been thinking a lot about Halloween and the idea of costuming and masquerade. Many people gain inspiration for Halloween costumes from the clothing they find in movies. For this week's Buzzworthy challenge, let's take a look at those movies that feature some of the best costumes ever.
TV Dinners: Lord of the Rings - Lembas Bread
According to my gal geeksugar, tomorrow is Hobbit Day. When I think of Hobbits — the heroes from "Lord of the Rings" — I think about folks with insatiable appetites, the kind of folks who need eleven meals a day in order to survive. Or, the kind of folks who could eat several pieces of elvish waybread — something a normal man only needs one bite of — in one sitting.
Noooooooooo!
If you haven't noticed, GiggleSugar is having a fun freakfest today by featuring the overgrown toenail lady, the robotic beefcake, and the diaper boy. I thought it only appropriate, then, to conclude with this compilation of the word "Nooooooooooo!" Yes folks, the end is near.
