Comment on Ripperonis
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 months agoExactly. They did the same thing in The Lord of the Rings movie. Rivendell is about 300 miles from the Shire. The hobbits leave the Shire at about 40 minutes in, and arrive in Rivendell roughly 35 minutes later. I’m sure they saved time by not stopping for second breakfast, but that would imply traveling 300/35 = 8.6 miles per minute non-stop with their stubby little legs.
Or maybe some people complained the movie was already too long (these people are wrong) and didn’t want to watch hobbits walk 300 miles in real time.

You may already know about this, but there’s an edit of Fellowship of the Ring where Sam says this line every time he takes another step. It makes the movie over 9 hours long.

If they had snipped it down to just him saying those words instead of the whole exchange the joke would have landed even better.

If it had been a neurotic hobbit, he would’ve said that with every following step

Hehe have you seen "version"of lotr where every time Sam takes a step on screen it goes back to that moment in the movie? I watched it for like 30 minutes just in awe that someone took the time to create it
