If Lord of the Rings was taking place in modern-day New York or something, maybe I could get behind him on the diversity thing, but come on! It's Lord of the Rings! Look at who wrote it, when it takes place, and all that stuff, unless he wants to see some Asian Hobbits and Dwarfs and Elves or something. I wish people would just keep those kinds of opinions to themselves and offline.

Y'know, the "dramatic pause after every three or four words, with a lot of random points of emphasis" thing he did for the entire f*cking movie. That's gonna be my most enduring memory of him since he did very little else of relevance.
Just playing Devil's Advocate, that's not *really* Haiku (then again, who knows, I wasn't counting syllables and lines ). He just seemed to fall under the trope of wise Asian dude who is calm and zen (but...to be fair, isn't that technically his game character anyway, having been raised by the monks?). I still liked him though because I found him so adorkable, especially when he offered his fire to warm up Cole's should be deader than dead and fatalitied family.
