These high-tech, breathtaking special effects are worth *begging for. LOTR would have been so much more epic if Peter Jackson had used costumed armadillos running around miniature sets instead of massive CGI elephants.

So . . . that entire . . . well-choreographed, epic battle-scene was merely a set-up for a genital reveal!?! Man, I thought King Kong was bad, but Peter Jackson just continues to slip.

In North America it has been titled "Dead Alive", or it least it had been when I bought the movie about ten years ago. It's my second favorite bit from any Peter Jackson movie. The first being the Sodomy Song from Meet the Feebles (look it up on youtube) and the "I likes 'em when they lay still like that" bit from frighteners.

Peter Jackson is pretty much hobbit-sized himself eh?

Dude, you need to put "Peter Jackson film" in the tag or description. Also, someone posted the trailer to this film "Bad Taste" and would be thrilled to see it on sift. Great post!

Peter Jackson was truly subversive and great once upon a time . . .

I can't believe this post isn't getting more love.

Shameless name drop: Peter Jackson, c'mon.

*dead (again)

*runs off to find some vintage Peter Jackson Meet the Feebles

btw deathcow, i thought the dam bursting in the Two Towers was very realistic. I found out on IMDB that Peter Jackson's crew actually researched what a dam breaking looks like, and made it as realistic as possible.

...just FYI.
