One Trilogy To Rule Them All

[CivCube]

A certain Dr. Oxford scientifically proves once and for all which film trilogy--Star Wars, The Matrix, or The Lord of the Rings--is truly the best of all time.

He really has gone to a lot of trouble

I was particularly tickled by bit about the weakness of the CGI Gollum in Lord of the Rings:

...specifically the physics and fabric movement of his loincloth. Gollum is seen climbing up and down cliffs in the garment and not once are his genitals seen falling out. I can attest to the real-world failing of this popular loincloth design (often called a Siamese Dongcurtain) as I had to wear one during my service with the RAF in the 1950's and even a trifling English wind would make my most masculine of secrets public

Legolas is a woman? Holy crap!

From Jackson's insulting portrayal of women - Legolas is reduced to simplistic, mindless interjections ("a diversion!") and decorating the scenery with her beauty - to his dwarf who, in every single sentence, mentions the fact that he is a dwarf

No he isn't...

BTW, Matrix is just terrible... And LotR is much better as a book. So it is Star Wars IMHO.

"Use the Force, Luke!"
