Taking air out of your tires will give you a wider contact patch which can sometimes help, but more often than not you actually want skinny tires for snow.

I'm fine with the slowdown. Keep it up long enough and we can decrease revenues from ticketing poor people, trim the budget, and fire some cops. Start with any that have had excessive force complaints.

It really is about values.

Well, the thing is, we can't knock out every mile of their railway. A break in the tracks won't stop this from operating, it'll just keep it operating on one side of the break. Once the launch is complete, its job is done, there won't be any reloading and firing again. This is not a tactical system.

Shortening yellow light time is a sure fire way to decrease safety. If they actually wanted to increase safety then they would get rid of the cameras and lengthen yellow light time, as well as lengthening the small period where all four lights are red

Well, considering I was responding directly to someone who said that The Hobbit had to have the idiotic shit (see: Goblin mines, barrel ride) to keep all the stupid ADD kids in their seats (and presumably off his lawn) I think I had a point.

To be fair, if you gave $250 Million to literally any other person on the planet they could make a better movie than Michael Bay.

Honestly, I can't think of a way to make that happen in less than 50 movies

The Fellowship of the Ring is 177,227 words long. The Hobbit is 95,022. Fellowship of the Ring fit into a three-hour movie, why couldn't the shorter book? I realize that word count doesn't match up 1-to-1 in screen time, but given the significantly increased length of Fellowship I have a hard time believing that it…

Do it in three Kinja comments :)

You want someone to go through, chapter by chapter, and explain which scenes they would film and how long each scene would take? What you are asking is essentially for someone to write a full treatment in a Kinja comment.

Rankin/Bass did a serviceable Hobbit in 77 minutes. Add back in what they cut, cut the musical numbers they added, and you'd still be under three hours.

I like you. Let's go in together on getting Peter Jackson an AVID (or whatever they use to edit films these days... ).

Hmm. Well, maybe the fifty-film epic of The Silmarillion will be better.

This is why I gave up on the movies when I was forced to sit through the second one on a plane flight - a ridiculously bloated mess. Jackson has ALWAYS needed the strong hand of a good editor to trim the fat out of his movies. Kong would have been awesome at 1.5 hours and three less climaxes. The first Lord of the…

The people threatening them are the worst kind of ignorant ass holes.

I think we should delete the trolls, and be outraged, but also be quiet about it.

I have a confession to make.

I would care a lot more about advocating his death if he wasn't essentially the Hitler of the modern age, though no one cares nearly as much because 1) He's in Asia, and 2) He keeps his horrors confined to his own country. I'm not sure advocating the death of a man who is essentially a rabid animal with a taste for…
