OT: The Hobbit

[mattola]

great stuff. I liked the music, I think I have heard it before. the exerpts from Lord of the Rings directed by Ralph Bakshi bring back some memories. I actually am quite fond of that version. I wish he finished it. The Return of the King version was fucking brutal.

I'm posting this here, just because it is my current fav band, along with one of my favorite childhood movies.


Matt, you'll dig the vid, I'm sure you've seen it... Not sure if you'll dig the music, it's amazing in a different state of mind.

Wizards, LOTR and American Pop are all fucking awesome.

... and Astra is just one of the greatest bands ever. Ok, enough OT.

Cinema-goers complain camera speeds and 3D effects caused headaches and queasiness | Mail Online

The Sunday Times reported one 'avid Middle Earth fan', who had flown to New Zealand from Australia for the premiere, said: 'My eyes cannot take everything in, it's dizzying, now I have a migraine.'
Another fan tweeted: 'It works for the big snowy mountains, but in close-ups the pictures strobes. I left loving the movie but feeling sick.'
The Sunday Times said one fan described having motion sickness similar to being on a rollercoaster.
They said: 'You have to hold your stomach down and let your eyes pop at first to adjust. This is not for wimps.'

Well then suck it up you wimps!

I've also heard some mixed reviews on the format, but to be honest, the frame rate for films is comically out of date. I'm sure we'll adjust.

Got my tix for opening night as well very very excited

I can't wait to see this... Although, as big of a fan as I am, I will be holding out for a few days. I hate seeing movies in a packed theater. I just hate people.

I just wonder if after both parts of The Hobbit have been shown, if they'll make a movie about what happens next.

rumour has it that it was only supposed to be a 2 part movie and then a 3rd was an inbetween story from The Silmarillion.
