1. Books are evil. Stick to /b/.

2. Books should be taken to their authors to be destroyed.

3. Getting some guy in the woods to, er, spit on your face enables you to see the unseen.

4. Your relatives don't really die. They get carried to magical glades by sprites. Or get sent to the looney bin.

5. Tomato juice is highly combustible.

6. Stab your dad, because he's really an ogre.

7. When Diablo rips your house apart, make sure your mom is there to see. After that, she will believe anything you say.

8. Nick Nolte wants to kill everything. He just needs a manual.

13. If you see loads of lines of white powder scattered throughout someone's house, theyre just trying to protect themselves from goblins. No, seriously.

14. If you see lines of white powder all over a house you just moved into, wet your finger and taste it...you won't be harmed.

15. Once you cut off the fingers of an ogre and it turns into a giant snake, then back into an ogre, the fingers come back.

Haha--yeah, I actually cringed when he did that, because I've lived in places with cockroach problems, so I've had "lines" of Borax laid out around the house. That's not something you want to be eating.

6. Stab your dad, because he's really an ogre.

Those are wonderful family values for a family movie, aren't they?

[–] zandylovesRISK 13 years ago

Because the book was powerful and highly wanted by Mulgarath and Elves(not in movie) was the reason they could have died. They couldn't destroy it so they thought he could undo the spell that protected it. As Hogsqueal says, ''A hobgloibin and grant people the sight.'' He double-crossed the elves about bringing them the Guide so they held him prisoner. If it's in an oven with rags. He could tell it wasn't him. Diablo? He could have used it to see all the Mythical creatures he couldn't find. And your an idiot for thinking of reasons that this movie was stupid
