Peter Jackson says the HFR is better this time, he SWEARS.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This year, though, the new film was only screened for the press in 24 fps. “Last year people felt compelled, for obvious reasons, to write about the frame rate, as well as about the film itself,” he explained. “So we just said any press screenings this year, do it at 24, so at least people will just focus on the movie itself.”

Well, it didn't work. In the 3D/24p press screening, people complained that it wasn't HFR, and in the 2D/24p guild screening, people complained that it wasn't 3D!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We are seeing it tomorrow. At least that's the plan.

I can report that the kids loved the Hobbit and Casper especially appreciated the badass lady elf.
