From a directorial point of view... we're talking about the craft of movie making...the scene with the "lighting of the beacons" starts out awesome but starts to get sloppy as it goes on. Jackson on several occasions says he wants these films to be realistic [and I assume 'realistic' means that...

The question being asked is: "Did Peter Jackson lose the plot?" My answer: "No." But, as we're starting to discuss some of the changes Peter has made, I'll add in some of my opinions on those mentioned. I think the change to Faramir was great. It was much needed. And I'm pretty sure it will...

Hey KingOfChaos.....I'm almost done with Zanatose. My apologies for being so late with it. My new job isn't a 9:00am to 6:00pm kinda job. Often I'm working late....which means by the time I come home I barely have time for anything. Ah...then the holidays came along.....and I could've finished...

Looking forward to seeing: -Kill Bill Vol. 2 [Volume 1 was fun to watch....] -Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow [So sweet, been waiting for something like this for a long time. Just hope it won't disappoint] -Spiderman 2 [loved the first one, Sam's doing the second...I'm there] -The...

Possible. I do watch a ton of movies. Probably too much. :) I could go to IMDB and start a list of all the movies that do this.....but I'm too lazy at the moment. Plus the debate isn't important enough for me to go spending that much free time to trying to prove my point. I agree. But just to...

Flexor the Mighty! wrote: Y'know, funny thing about that whole thing, I'm an American of Asian ethnicity and.......I was never offended by the Trade Federation guys. I was just offended by the suckiness of the movie itself. :) The writer of the article has his heart in the right place...but...

Thanks so much for finding this Goobermunch! :) This will help a lot. Its kinda what I thought I had to do.....but the tips help define the actions more. The weird thing about this level is the little map on the upper right hand side. The one where little red dots appear when ladders appear...

Hello there. Just bought the "Return of the King" game on X-Box. I played "The Two Towers" game on Playstation and loved it. So I picked up the sequel. Anyways, I'm going through it and I'm running into snags already! In "The Two Towers" game I didn't run into hopeless situations until Helm's...

These are really nice doodles. Nice expressiveness and body gestures. Nice and loose.

Sweet! I'm glad you were able to get good seats! I remember when I saw The Two Towers there, they had extra props and statues in the lobby area. Did they have that again for RotK? Last year they had a full scale Ringwraith on horseback and one Uruk-hai. I was going to try and see RotK at The...

Just saw RotK again last night. Parents hadn't seen it yet....so I took them to go see it. The movie still is awesome. But we all know what is awesome about LotR:RotK. Its pretty obvious. However, as we're talking about some of its weaker moments, a thought came to me that made me a tad more...

I've always been kinda of so-so on the movement to toon shaded 3-d graphics. Games like Jetgrind-Radio showed us that it could look pretty cool. But sometimes it comes out with mixed results. I actually saw a bit of this upcoming Appleseed at some company's table at the SanDiego ComicCon this...

Do 'quotes' count under terms and phrases? If so, I am really tired of hearing Monty Python's Holy Grail movie quotes at the table. It was funny through out high school, college, and my early twenties. But now I'm sick of them. Or at least, I'm sick of them being used at a D&D game session. I...

Yeah, I agree. Sometimes that is the thought behind some of these reviews. But also, sometimes because they simply don't 'get it' or they just don't have the tastes for such things. Either way, well said Aaron. I'll add to the list of real life women accounts. My mother never has read fantasy...

A few warnings about the Arclight Cinerama Dome. You can buy the seats you sit in at the Dome theatre. If I were you, I'd try to get in the back half of the theatre. Or if you can only get in the first front half. Try to get tickets in the furthest back row of THAT front half. I saw "The Two...

Contents look cheezy to me. And yes, I like to think I know the difference between cheezy and stylized. "Sky Captain" looks like both actually. I just said "cheezy" for simplicity sake. Plus, if we want to get detailed....we can even start to talk about the different types of cheeze.

Ever be aware of the audience's reactions to trailers? Like a few "aw yeah" or a few "eww" responses? Well, is it me or do the public at large not "get" cheezy movies that are done cheezy on purpose? I saw the trailer for "Sky Captain" and was ready to do the "Yeah!" after it was over. Except...

Just saw it again. Was surprised to find it better the second time. I still hold to my first review that was posted earlier in this thread. Although, I suspect no one read it because of the huge amount of spoiler black out lines. I add some more tid bits about the movie. First time I watched...

As my friends and I were waiting for the lights to go down on RotK, we joked about how LotR will get snubbed yet again in the "best costume" department. Its so like the Oscars to not consider the artistic creativity and hard work behind costume designs of things that don't exist. I guess they...

Just got back from a midnight screening here in California. I loved it. It was just awesome to watch. I dreaded many things going wrong with wrapping up the LotR trilogy. One of which is the ending. In my mind, I had a version that I wished to see personally. And I thought that there was no...
