Willow ,'Beneath You'
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.
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!
Hobbit. Hobbit hobbit hobbit. Hobbit!
And now that I've seen it, can I just add:
Dwarves! SMAUG!
Totally SMAUG.
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.
flea, did you guys go to the new(ish) theater in Oakley? If so, is it swanky?
Just got back from Hobbit, and I'd like to chime in with SMAUG. We see quite a lot of him, and in fact I think they must have included some footage from the 3rd movie in the trailer for this one. I saw the HFR version, and either my eyes just adjusted faster or they really did do it better this time.
Oh, and Connie, that phrase you were hoping would be in there? Was.
Yay!
