[Quiet Man Cometh]

I haven't read the story part, but I think I'll be needing to see the movie or read the book before commenting on that anyway. Looking some stuff up though. Apparently The Hobbit was filmed with a new kind of digital camera (most film is done regular cameras because apparently digital cameras aren't entirely up to the job yet for major detailed projects, or so I hear). That might have affected how the film looked. I remember the first time I saw HD it seemed almost unnatural to me. 3D films watched in 2D can also have some funny visual quirks here and there that I've noticed in other films. I'll keep an eye out for that.

I don't think people can roast Jackson too much. I think it was sort of expected of him that he do The Hobbit given LOTR. Even back when he was working on King Kong it was assumed he'd do it. There was a fake trailer going around on youtube at the time. Apparently Guillermo del Toro was the originally planned director and he also had a hand in writing the screenplay with the usual bunch.

What I'm *not* looking forward to: it's three films apparently. Again. Sigh.


I'm not sure what you mean with that "current word" comment Yoku. Something annoy you?
