Excuse me, I need a moment to compose myself. *sniffles* It's all so beautiful...
I'm a 24 year old American of Irish/Italian Catholic ancestry. I also have a loathing for Nazism that might be described as a fervency. I don't know a decent human being who doesn't at least find the idea of Nazis distasteful.
There really is no excuse for United States Marines, who one would expect to have at least enough of a grasp on history to know who they have fought in the last century, to be proudly displaying fucking Nazi paramilitary symbols.
Also, that was filmed at the Laff Hole show in Seattle put on by the People's Republic of Komedy. Those guys are fantastic.
A black astronaut fighting "mankind's greatest enemy"? I don't know if I could love any movie more.
Also, lactose tolerance? A late addition to the human reptoire. Y'all are mutants.
Brian goddamn Moylan in 2012.
Always remember that even famous, brilliant people have to pay their mortgage and stuff.
"...certainly one I think is less accurate and beneficial to the world."
Game of Thrones > LotR, in terms of allegory.
"Those do not open doors, gunslinger; those only close them forever."
Also, Eddie Dean murders AIs with shitty street jokes. So awesome.
Even putting aside Tolkien's dislike of allegory (which ZPriceIsRight lays out in a comment below), the allegorical content of LotR is, while perhaps not less mature than Game of Thones, certainly one I think is more accurate and beneficial to the world. Remember that Tolkien chose to cast all of the industrial lower class of England as vile, mindless, destructive orcs.
