dr lopez Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 i won't, just developing my douche shield of hate needed to survive the month after its release when everyone talks at me about how amazing/mind-blowing/epic/actually really well done/well, at least it's technically impressive it is, ala avengers, dark knight rises, inception. Haha remember Borat? Everyone and their brother saying "very nice" for three months? My god that was unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd syside Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 First tweet about press screening, despite embargo The technique of the 48 fps is spectacular but I do not know such a modernity marries with the "regal" and "classical" essence of the series--Great wisdom of casting Richard Armitage, packing and gives mastery to Thorin regal... But once again Andy Serkis-Gollum! Oscar now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaarg Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Don't see the movie then? This would be an important advice but I can't escape the impact of the movie as I'm surrounded by Tolkien fandom. I'll probably even wear a Gandalf costume on the opening evening. Oh boy. But I'm sincerely waiting for the Hobbit as a future fun experience. The fact I'll be watching it a bit drunk is of course part of the plan.

Soloman Tump Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 So you plan on going to see a 48fps 3D movie, with blurry inebriated vision? Good way to receive full impact of the new technologies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaarg Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It's not popularity. I love a lot of very popular films. I dislike the manipulation level and the dismissing of audience as stupid aspects of Lord of the Rings. I think it's gonna be 24 fps here, as for 3d, probably, but not certain.

syd syside Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Bonnie Alba @bonniealba Just saw a test reel for The Hobbit 3D in 48 fps. Oh. My. God. You guys have no idea what you are in for. #TheHobbit LA Times has a story today on the higher frame rate. WB seem pleased with the test reel and some theater owners were disappointed they weren't getting more HFR runs, so hopefully a good sign that they think audiences will like it.

lumpenprol Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 they said all the same shit about 3D right before Avatar was released. And same people behind the hype! Coincidence? Theater attendance has been declining, despite increased global revenue. Hence all the gimmicky shit, to try and distinguish the moviegoing experience from (people's increasingly awesome) home viewing experience.

awepittance Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 im pretty excited for it but I'm noticing even more with those newer screenshots just how overly CGI the entire movie looks. IT sort of resembles the flora in Avatar alittle bit too much. Hopefully with all the other advancements i'm not missing the shit out of the beautiful bigatures from the original trilogy for the whole film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 well to be fair the elf castle (sorry, can't remember the damned name) always looked fake. I'm guessing as it's a Peter Jackson joint, they'll probably still use a lot of "bigatures"...or did he say otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 they aren't using them this time around, something about shooting in 3d made it too difficult for them to match the miniature work with the rest of the photography. Im not sure if i ever heard an official source for this but i've heard other people say it as far back as a year ago. I mean to be completely honest none of it ever looked totally convincing, but something about the bigature work in the original trilogy got my nerd-dick super hard. when i first saw this i was blown away, and it holds up as a very seamless and beautiful looking special effect almost 10 years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 ah, then I agree with you. I agree, the bigatures (gah, bad term) made everything much more convincing. Every movie that has had good special effects has used a good blend of scale models, cg, animatronics. Pure CG never looks as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd syside Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Mike Sunderland @mikejsunderlandSister saw pre-screening of new #Hobbit film today. "Relax" she says, "it's AMAZING". Cineworld BOLTON @CineworldBoltonJust watched about 20 minutes of 3D 48fps HFR footage (including The Hobbit) trailer. Clearer, sharper and more life like than anything...Cineworld BOLTON @CineworldBolton...I've ever seen. It takes a bit of getting used to, about 5 minutes should do it. You can actually see what 'higher frame rate' actually..Cineworld BOLTON @CineworldBolton..means, as at first it appears almost speeded up until you realise what you're actually seeing it a true life like image. Incredible!Cineworld BOLTON @CineworldBolton@Shawky1969 Yes, I think majority of public won't know about 48fps and will not enjoy it. Too much like TV/Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
