Then that would be “3D is poorly executed as wearing glasses imposes on my viewing experience” not “3D is a gimmick”.
Maybe they won’t be three hours long now.
There’s a story involving me, Return of the King, and desperate thirst… a story which I’m eager to not re-live.
But the only reason I choose to see movies in 3D is to look cool while watching a movie.
Anyway, my only complaint with current 3D technology is theater policy of forcing you to re-buy glasses. Why can’t we get a discount if we bring an existing pair?
I’m not going to pay a couple of dollars just for you jerks to melt it down later, either, so now I have like 4 pairs of 3D glasses (2 linear and 2 circular).
Only while you are watching the movie? I went to a 3D movie just for the glasses so I could look cool all the time, not just in the theater. In fact, I haven’t taken them off since.
I hate with a passion people who wear lenseless 3D glasses to look “hipster”. I’d fucking punch them in the soul because there is not even a single thing right with doing this.
What if I wear 3d glasses with the lenses still in them to look hipster? Do I still get punched in the soul?
Yes. But it would’nt be because you’d be trying to be hipster, it’s because you’d look stupid.
I look stupid without them, I assure you. Do I still get punched?
You jerk, I was just about to post this:
I so want to do this now…
So you think that he is really making 3 movies just with a 350 sites book?
Why do you call him a boring as fuck director if he did a “decent” job with Lord of the Rings,
which is supposed to be the hardest film adaption of a book in history?
He is going to put happenings into the movies that were only briefly mentioned in the book.
Like the search and battle of Gandalf, Galadriel and Saruman against the necromancer who is supposed to be Sauron.
He is going to put in the battle of Dol Guldur and many other things that happened
in an extended way in the other books of J R R Tolkien, but took place in the same timeframe of The Hobbit.
The reason why The Hobbit was split in two movies from the beginning is because the second one should create the gap between
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. That’s why characters like Frodo, Saruman and Legolas appear in the movie while they didn’t appear in the book.
In my opinion The Lord of the Rings book is also not the greatest book in history, because Tolkien had such an
awful way to tell his great story, but the book was adapted great as movies. Jackson has
enhanced so many parts and made them by far better in the movie than they were in the book.
The only way you could say something that fucking ridiculous is if you were hopelessly unfamiliar with the dude’s CV. In which case, what the fuck are you doing talking about it?
I’ve seen five of his movies, and haven’t liked any of them. (Dead Alive, LotR, and King Kong)
The story itself is decent, but Tolkien does drag on a bit in some parts, and his style in general is boring to me.
Holy shit, everyone, it’s Arthur, King of the Britons!
I would say something witty in response, but I’m not witty enough for that.
I hate it when that happens.
Release dates and trilogy titles have been announced:
From: https://www.thehobbitblog.com/[/SIZE]
The final film in Peter Jackson’s trilogy adaptation of The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, now titled “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” will be released worldwide on July 18, 2014.
The title of the second installment in the franchise will be “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” and the film will be released on December 13, 2013. The first film in the trilogy, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” opens this holiday season, on December 14, 2012. Shot in 3D 48 frames-per-second, the trilogy of films will be released in High Frame Rate (HFR) 3D, other 3D formats, IMAX and 2D.
From Academy Award®-winning director Peter Jackson, the trilogy of films is set in Middle-earth 60 years before “The Lord of the Rings,” which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.”
Under Jackson’s direction, all three movies are being shot in digital 3D using the latest camera and stereo technology. Additional filming, as with principal photography, is taking place at Stone Street Studios, Wellington, and on location around New Zealand.
I am curious about the internatinal box office money it will make. I hope it will beat Avengers.

I can’t wait for this. I just hope one of the movie theatres near me supports the 48fps 3D version because I want to see it like that, to see how the higher framerate affects how good the 3D works. It’s being filmed in 3D as well, which is more than some movies can say, where they just add the 3D in once it’s shot and it looks like shit. I heard Avatar’s 3D was really good, I hope the Hobbit’s 3D is just as good.
I wonder how the 48 FPS thing will work. Not every theater will have the hardware to do specifically that framerate, for one specific movie.
Unless I am very mistaken on how movie technology works…
