I haven't seen this movie in 48fps but I've seen plenty of stuff at or above that speed. It's perfectly great for documenting things but the first thing that will pop out at you while watching anything at that speed is that it "feels" like a home video. Normal films move at 24 frames per second which blurs movement just a bit and gives movies a certain something that you don't get when you're shoving more frames in.

SUCK A DICK, DUMBSHITS!

More FPS in tv/movies gives them this very unsettlingly real look. It's hard to describe it but once you see it it's very obvious. It kind of looks too crisp and clear, and when you're watching something that is at its core fake, that can be a bad thing.

I don't know. I'll see it eventually, but that seems like a strange decision.

In a way it's kind of brilliant because now I kind of want to see it just to see how weird it feels whereas before I had negative amounts of interest.

Apparently it makes some landscapes look real enough to step into, while at the same time making the dwarves and the various props look like something out of a high school play. That piques my interest at least.

And my Chapter 12 should be arriving at the end of the week or so. Its a combination of too much work/shame at what I plan on doing. And not even the good kind of shame.

I dont really like that whole increased fps stuff but you put that Gape Action in 48 fps its like a Real Time Double Colonoscopy!

Ah, the wonders of science meet the the innovation of the double goatse protocol.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

You gotta up the frame rate or all the CoD chucklefucks won't go see it. 24 fps? gently caress, my Casio wristwatch does better than that.

I think I prefer 24 frames because your eyes do have motion blur while "panning" and whatnot. 48fps isn't closer to reality in every aspect :shrug:

Okay, just saw The Hobbit. Gandalf and Galadriel didn't fist each other in it, what gives? Also, I apparently didn't see the version that had 48 FPS in it because I didn't feel nauseous the entire time.

After all the negative press Warner (or is it universal?) pulled the plug and said they're not doing the 48fps thing nationwide.

The fact that it even got that far is clear evidence that Peter Jackson has entered the George Lucas level of getting everything he wants and having his rear end kissed everywhere he goes.


Y'know if turning the hobbit into a 3 part epic wasn't clear enough.

"All my sets are going to look plastic and cheap, and everything will be overly cartoony and have a shockingly different tone and look and feel from LOTR and the dwarves will be more like the Disney Seven Dwarves, or really, more like Smurfs.

Then I'm going to shoot the whole thing in some crazy format because James Cameron and Chris Nolan already one upped everything I could do technologically.

Then I'm going to take a 400 page book and pad it out to 9 hours so I can make 3 movies and therefore make more billions!"

I mean, I enjoyed the movie (which doesn't mean anything since I've got pretty lovely taste as evidenced by the fact that this is my most posted-in topic), but holy poo poo the pacing was awful. What loving moron thought "It'd be a good idea to split the Hobbit into 3 movies when it merits 2 at absolute maximum"

Wait Brandon and Lyanna? As in, Ned's ten year old son? I think that's the new Gurmiest relationship possible.

Edit: oh right. Ned's brother. The fact my mind immediately went to pedo-incest instead of just incest might be a sign I have been on the Internet for too long.

Yeah, Unexpected Journey is fine, even if the pacing is loving garbage (No, I don't give a poo poo about Radagast, even if he is played by Sylvester McCoy. This is why Jackson's best decision in the original movies was axing Tom loving Bombadil), but far more interesting is if crazy Pete will poo poo the bed by spreading everything to far (Right now survey says "Probably").

Oh, also, w/r/t The Hobbit: The guy who played Bilbo did an excellent job. Like infinitely better than Elijah Wood as "I'm-acting-like-a-ten-year-old-even-though-I'm-supposed-to-be-30" Frodo in the first trilogy. Also, Thorin was awesome in this adaptation. The Gollum riddle scene was good.

Oh and Sauron's in it. Anyone who is a Tolkien ultra-goon spergelord will know who he is when they see/hear of him.
