I'd watch this, for the novelty of it.
Or better yet, a film excised of Tolkien references (if that would even work with the storyline). While most bits like Elf/Hobbit lovin' and Gondorian Battle Beekeepers are crazy, some bits like the duel of words, Aragorn using both halves of Narsil, and "Only seven colors [in the rainbow]... the world is changed" are oddly appealing.thebachelor (on TORC) wrote: I still think Boorman's LotR might have been more fun and less aggravating to watch than Jackson's, so I guess I am a Revisionist after all. Look at it this way: as a fan of L. Frank Baum's Oz books, I've long been accustomed to regard the MGM movie as an alternate, very different version of the Wizard of Oz myth, which retains many crucial elements of Baum's story while adding its own ideas and philosophies. Boorman's LotR could have been regarded that way. Jackson's LotR too often comes across as merely a garbled, inaccurate, foreshortened and dumbed-down version of Tolkien's story.
