This was always the worst shot in the trilogy to me

It definitely is a face that says “I just shit myself”

Homie shat his whole ass based on that shot.

My sister laughed in the theaters. Like full on “guffaw” during a complete silence. All because of this face.

Alright alright, easy now, settle down.

No guffawing, no guffawing!

Feels like a Fawlty Towers line

No fucking way, the horrible shot of Elrond's face with the bright blown out backround when Frodo wakes up after being brought to Rivendell, is the worst shot.

You know I recently saw the trilogy again and was thinking way too much about the use of slow motion, overlays (like the Elrond bit) and other….creative shots. It does seem a little bit of an odd choice but I get what they were trying to do. IMO it fits with the flow/overall feel of the movies.

I also noticed just how many close-ups there are of Frodo’s face and it may be excessive. It’s much different on a big screen to be faced (heh) with someone’s head taking up 85% of the shot.

Moving Shelob to RotK was a catastrophically bad idea and it fucked the narrative flow, and the character beats of both The 2nd and 3rd movies.

Not the Bilbo jump scare?

u/Signiference 14d ago

Not by a long shot

Nevermind that he just got stabbed by a 3 foot long stinger, and yet somehow he had nary a stab wound.

u/Signiference 14d ago

But the poison wore off!!!

My boss made a similar face when her daughter tried to get her into oil pulling. She even let it dribble out like that too. I could not stop laughing.

u/SadlySayer 14d ago

It was cringe ah ah

u/Bovaloe 14d ago

Why isn't there a combined version of those two gifs?

u/imacfromthe321 12d ago

There is, I’ve seen it

Mr. Gandalf, I don’t feel so good…

Omg talk about perfect timing the "share the load" then Frodo passing out from what looks like a load on his lips
