minus-squaresaltnotsugar@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoYes quite. Any time an adventure has the potential to come up, Gandalf hits that pipe and forgets to show up to the meeting.

minus-squareshowmeyourkizinti@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI agree with you. There’s a really good 2 hour movie somewhere in that trilogy but it just needs a really good editor to cut out of all the bloat.
