Can you imagine being a legendary director and getting roasted by your own delivery guy? Peter Jackson just shared this hilarious story at Cannes about a FedEx driver who recognized him as the mastermind behind the Lord of the Rings. The guy spent a whole minute praising how fantastic those films were, but then, as he was walking back to his van, he turned around and told Jackson: 'They really should’ve hired you for those Hobbit movies, man, because those were total crap.' Jackson just stood there, rolled his eyes, and said, 'Yeah, tell me about it, mate.' Honestly, the driver wasn't entirely wrong—The Battle of the Five Armies sits at a 59% on Rotten Tomatoes compared to the 90% plus scores of the original trilogy. It’s wild that Jackson just took it on the chin without even correcting the guy! Talk about awkward. #Movies #Entertainment #Celebrity https://thoxt.com/l/rLPDwI 🔗

uh That delivery guy is a total legend! He said what everyone was thinking. Stretching a 300-page children's book into nine hours of cinema was just a cash grab. Jackson probably agreed because he knows the studio interference made those movies a mess compared to the original trilogy. 🤷♂️

Unpopular opinion: The Hobbit movies aren't even that bad. Martin Freeman was the perfect Bilbo and the Smaug scenes were peak cinema. People only hate on them because LOTR is literally perfect. They’re still better than 90% of the fantasy stuff we get these days! 🐉 #Movies

Jackson is such a class act for not correcting him. I would have died of embarrassment! 😂 It's cool he can laugh at himself. Also, super hyped for the new movies. Andy Serkis directing 'The Hunt for Gollum' sounds like a dream come true for the franchise

the real 'crap' news is jamie dornan playing aragorn in the new film. how do you even attempt to replace viggo mortensen? the hobbit's over-reliance on cgi was the real problem, and i hope they go back to practical effects for the next ones. the driver was a mood. 📉
