It sucks rear end that movies don’t use higher frame rates and I wish the hobbit movies hadn’t completely blown it on that front

Lemniscate Blue posted:I do think that Faramir was the one meant to go on the quest, but Denethor wouldn't listen to him until the dream came to Boromir also so Denethor would okay the journey - just with the son he wanted to be a hero going instead of the one that was better suited to the task. Was he though? If Faramir goes on that quest the Fellowship never breaks up which possibly means that Aragorn tries to go to Mordor with Frodo/Sam. If that happens, Rohan loses the war to Saruman and then Gondor loses to Sauron without Rohan's reinforcements/the undead army. Boromir accidentally made everything happen that needed to happen.

Love that shot of PJ sitting there on set looking miserable by himself, and the camera just keeps zooming out and out and out and he's still on his own

Ang Lee has done it multiple times now and it’s at best an intriguing situational technique. Why do you feel it “sucks rear end” for films to be 24fps?

When movies do panning shots it usually blurs the heck out of whatever is on screen if it moves too fast. I am not learned in cinematography but I would figure it's related.

Serkis always turned out a good performance as an actor and he seems to have genuine investment. As much of a cash grab this seems like, Im willing to keep an open mind.

zoux posted:Well Fair or Fae, here it is Presumably Annatar/Sauron. IIRC part of why this has taken so long is between covid and the poor reception to season 1, at least an attempt has been made to either retcon or change direction on some of the major plot points. I have 0 hope for it, but i'll still keep watching that garbage. i will only see the gollum movie by pirating it lol

You know I'm tired of magic in TV and film either being a laser light show or, in this case, people flicking their hands around like they're using The Force. There are other ways to express power and I've always felt that the impression of Sauron and his servants was better left up to character reactions. I don't really like the extended scene where The Witch King breaks Gandalf's staff (wtf?) but I always liked the way that it framed him as this terrifying thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJjB3t8bhkQ It's hard to hear in the youtube clips but as he speaks the Nazgul howl layers over his words and Pippin screams as it burrows into his ears. The fell beast fills the whole screen and it's roar stops Pippin dead in his tracks with fear. An evil looking dude flicking his fingers or shooting fireballs isn't really scary or powerful to me. It's like the fantasy equivalent of those overused holographic UIs from science fiction shows where it's a bunch of hand flicking going on and then some underpaid cgi artist adds in the sfx in post. I want a Sauron or a Morgoth that just exudes darkness in his presence, like the sun itself dims when he walks and terror grips people's hearts. I want people like Butterbur, so kind and jovial, turned to ice as all light and hope fades and fear takes hold.  I want something, anything that can match the sheer dread of the line "And Morgoth came." I don't know how you would translate that to a visual medium but drat if it wouldn't be a more creative endeavor than whatever Amazon is doing.

I'm nearly finished The Fall of Numenor book, I'm really enjoying the presentation of it as a chronological document. I'd just read the bigger story of Aldarion and Erendis in Unfinished Tales but reading it again in context made me enjoy it even more. Cool book!

Where I am we recently got a full eclipse. It’s not terrifying knowing what’s actually going on. But as a megadork I thought that might be what seeing a Nazgul is like. It goes from a sunny 1pm to looking like the dead of night in moments.

Yeah same, even knowing what was going on, it still felt eerie bordering on scary. No wonder the people who lived before we knew wtf an eclipse was were so scared by them.

Does this trailer confirm any of the supposed plot leaks from a few months ago such as Sauron disguising himself as Celeborn
