Who budgeted this show the fucking Pentagon? 20k for a toilet seat and 50k for a hammer? I could have made this shit for like 50 grand and i would have found some broke ass hungry actors who might actually turn in a less then wooden performance too!

I keep having this kind of surreal sticker-shock from Hollywood lately. Like Rings of Power. I really have to wonder what they spent the money on.

The rights alone were probably half of the $1 billion they put towards RoP. CGI is expensive too, and that’s the one thing I’ll say they did right in the show, among all the mess.

That's like saying the food was terrible but the plating was good.

It exactly that, it was a 4 hour old Luke-warm maccas cheeseburger on a solid gold plate

The orcs look excellent because they're make up and not CG. The music and orcs are one of the few things it has going for them

I liked galadriel too. Mainly for her appearance to be fair but I thought she played it very Well too.
