I know this is all the way from the OP and I'm late to the party, but holy poo poo I just spent like a solid hour laughing my rear end off at this.

What in the gently caress happened.

He's like on like 5 pages. So minor that Peter Jackson replaced him with a moth in the movie.

Then decided to give him a lot of time I'm the first Hobbit movie for reasons. I can't slam for the other two Hobbit movies because I had no desire to see them.

The "reason" was because they wanted another wizard, mostly for merchandise, but Tolkien didn't really give them many to work with.

Business Gorillas posted:

the third one was literally a 2.5 hour warhammer fantasy battle

I remember thinking the first hobbit movie was so good and so promising compared to LOTR, but drat, 3 was really bad and shouldn't have been done.

I highly recommend the "there and back again" fan edit. It cuts out all the bullshit that wasn't in the book and gets it down at a single very long movie instead of 3 unnecessary films to make money.

The Hobbit movies were okay, but not particularly amazing. The one thing I really hated was the decision to keep Smaug alive at the end of the second movie only to kill him in the first 5-10 minutes of the third... Why the hell did you not just wrap that up in the second? It would have been a much better ending of movie 2...

Yeah that was a huge failing. As soon as Smaug died I was like "really? Already?"

Should have been two films instead. Cut out all the pointless stuff with Evangeline Lilly and just get right to smaug and the battle of the five armies at the end of 2.

Also breaking it into 3 movies meant the transition from movie 1 Thorin (I don't trust you, Bilbo! You're no warrior!) to movie 2 Thorn (Bilbo, you saved us all, you wondeful hobbit. You're truly my friend) to movie 3 Thorin (I AM THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN, gently caress you Bilbo!) was really jarring. They made him look like a real jackass.

Master Twig posted:

I don't remember where, but I heard someone say that once the third movie is out on video, that someone will be able to take the three movies and edit them down in to one 3-4 hour movie that is actually good.

Its already been done, and I talked about it in this very thread. Its called the "there and back again" cut, and its really good.

It does other cool things with editing too. Rather than opening Hobbit 1 with Smaug attacking Laketown (which chronologically makes sense but not thematically) the movie opens on the shire (just like the book does) and then fills in the story of laketown later when the Dwarves are singing about it. Other changes like that.

Yeah, that's about the level of quality you get from mass-produced prepaints. I'm not surprised except for how terrible the sculpt is.

Yeah, if you look at like, Mage Knight miniatures, the paint jobs are preeeeeeetty awful. Because its sweatshop labor painting in a hurry.

Ugleb posted:

People actually buy this over unpainted? Holy crap.

As ugly as it is, it looks better than a field of solid grey plastic. From a distance it looks much more reasonable, and you can always paint over it again if you want.

And go into a thread with quality things? That will ruin my self esteem. I want to at least try a few more things before I venture into a real thread.

You want to practice painting well, not practice painting poorly.

Don't worry; there's TONS of lovely painters in the painting thread :)

I used to suck at painting but honestly if you learn a few tricks and the right approach it makes your stuff look 1,000x better. I'm not winning any golden demon awards or anything, but I'm happy with my dudes now, where the guys I painted when I was younger were just embarassingly ugly.

I thought I was doing well then I got to the face.



"Where we're going we don't need eyes to see."

Faces are very hard to paint. Eyes are extremely hard to paint and I would honestly skip them. You can get away with just having dark shadows where they eyes should be; from a distance people won't notice.

Just take the face all basecoated peach and then shade it, and then maybe add a little highlight and call it a day. Way better results, way easier to do.

If you are gonna paint the eyes, you need a smaller brush, thinner paint, and probably some kinda table to brace your arms against.

Well, I just watched the video, now I'm unsure of where the joke was going, since it changed directions a few times, I think? Please explain in spoiler tags.

Its not really like high art or anything. Its just a mix of "SO RANDOM" that the kids think is the height of humor these days, combined with playing with genre expectations and just pushing it further and further into the unexpected and uncomfortable. Basically Tim and Eric stuff.

The joke is it just keeps going and the song never ends or resolves. At first it looks like its just gonna go on the same, but then it starts changing a lot. Then there's further meta-humor and fourth-wall-breaking because the one creepy rapist guy keeps showing up in every skit and then everything ends horribly.

But there's not really anything to "get" its just a video that's playing with expectations to surprise you and make you a little uncomfortable.

I laughed at it a bit the first time just seeing how far they'd take it but its not really all that funny.

Isn't this just samus aran, least going by the suit colour? And if she had a gigantic forehead. Some greenstuff potential for fixing that at least.

Combat Stripper might not be so bad if she were painted with wearing a glove suit instead of bare skin. Maybe. But these are infinity so it's not exactly surprising content.

I'm totally gonna get one of those Imperial Cars for my FLGS as soon as I have money for terrain.

Then I'll get their cataphrons, because they look better and are cheaper.

I want one of their Cult Limos really, really bad. Its the perfect old school GSC limo, with crazy good details.
