That being said, In other news, because the film was turned into a trilogy (or it is a quadrilogy now? Pentalogy? It'll get there, just give the producers some time...), and other reasons, productions for BBC's Sherlock have been put on hold until later 2013. So not only has Jackson stretched out a children's book unnecessarily (sorry Tolkien fans, I just don't see a reason for three films), now we don't get BBC's Sherlock until 2014. Woe is me... |

It was to be two films, but as we saw with the Lord of the Rings, Jackson doesn't make short films. I imagine the Producers decide to go with three films just because the two were so freaking long. So instead of something like 45 minutes of extra material for extended version, we get a third film instead (with probably still 10 or 15 minutes of extra footage in each as they recut things they still needed to drop for a "reasonable feature length film".

Watching this, I feel the film is in safe hands. Though I am amazed that in the end, two people including Jackson just finish the final cut of the film on an ordinary desktop in an ordinary room (that looks like it could fit into any normal household). Guess that's what happened with the digital age.

I'll take my chances. Ardent Tolkien fandom is overpowering any such concerns in my case. |

Hrmm, now I'm not sure whether I want to watch in 3D or not. I usually don't do 3D at all, given that I wear glasses normally and glasses on top of glasses is a pain. But the seats are better and the screen bigger in that version (at the theatres I go to). Add this on top of it... gah.

Depends on the type of 3D glasses, or perhaps the frame you wear. I've not have issues with 3d glassess. Only the really old ones they gave with 3D comic books in the mid-1980s gave me any problems. And I had larger frame then.

I tried a pair on on Saturday and they seemed fine, but that was like 10 seconds. Just not sure how 3 hours would be.
Also need them to finalize the schedule so they enact the first showing discount, so I can actually use my movie money on the damned tickets! |

Now, back to the Hobbit, I can't wait to see it; in particular, I'm itching to listen to "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold"

I heard a rumor that one person, while watching a preview release of The Hobbit with 3D glasses on, actually had a hobbit jump out of the movie screen and follow him home. That's too realistic imo, I'm scared to wear the glasses to the movie now

It's pretty nifty that Tolkein is skilled at both prose and songwriting. I have a fair amount of writing under my belt (Just one story, granted, but it's a story that's over 3,000 pages and around two million words), and in the field of storywriting I consider myself decent enough, but as for songwriting... there was exactly one scene in the story where I tried my hand at having one of the characters sing a song with lyrics I made up myself. The song I wrote was... uh... well, I'll just say that even though it's been nearly three years since I wrote it, I'm still too embarrassed to have ever gone back to read it. Maybe in a few centuries or so I will.

Hm, there's a very tiny chance I may be invited to a special advance screening of "The Hobbit" so maybe I'll swing by and provide comments if I do manage to go. We'll see.. Fingers crossed!
I have to admit I'm optimistic about any scene involving Smaug and The Archer .. yes, capital T and capital A .. Hawkeye's got nothing on you man! Reply hazy, ask again later |

As for 3D, I got some kind of discomfort from Avatar, which was actually the last time I was in a movie theater... been a while. I'll grin and bear it for the full experience, I suppose. |
