it's powerfully bad, especially when you mix it in with the GoPro glub glub shots

I mean it saves money by having the actors run around in a warehouse instead of going to NZ I guess

They went to NZ anyway for most of it though. I can think of like three scenes in the whole 'trilogy' that actually make use of the NZ landscape.

Some of it was because Weta is there, and despite the fact that it largely went unused behind poo poo CGI, they actually did a huge amount of work on practical effects for the Hobbit movies. The behind the scenes stuff for it is incredible.

Yeah I remember one or two characters (I think Azog and Dain) were initially actors in really good makeup but ended up being replaced with awful CGI models.

The one really good bit of CGI in the whole thing ended up being Gollum. Incidentally that's one of the only scenes that was barely changed from the books and one of the only actually good bits. Some of Smaug was ok too until the 45 minute chase scene.

Modern CG movies just spend way less time and money, proportionally, per shot than older shows. Jurassic park stands up today still because there is a tiny amount of CG compared to a modern movie, and what there is was laboured over for years by highly experienced artists and PHD level engineers.

There is a huge amount of amazing work in the hobbit that you won’t notice because it doesn’t look CG. Entire set replacements, water effects, background characters, sky replacements. But there are also things that are jarring because Weta had 3000 shots to do per show at 60fps, 4K and physics and time exists. If you had the same crew doing 15mins of CG in a 2 hour show it would be seamless.

Is it a thing to call films shows?

The pacing is horrible because they had to pad the everloving poo poo out of it to make it 3 3 hour movies.

It didn't help that they decided to do this after they'd finished filming it as a two parter and the first part was months from release.

The last LOTR film could have stopped at least 30 minutes earlier when they were in Rivendale staring out. Getting back to the Shires where Sam's missus had obviously been at it with an Orc was a waste of celluloid.

This would mean missing one of the best scenes of the whole thing, where the Hobbits sit in the pub with their pints and realise they can never truly return home.

I think the trilogy deserved a little self indulgent victory lap to cap things off.

Though to me, that's the rub - the appearance that someone is doing something that has little impact and everyone can slap each other on the back at a job half done.

That's true, but I do think they have a positive impact by keeping the issue in the news. People want to pretend it's not happening and they shouldn't be allowed to do so.

It's ridiculously easy to do this sort of thing. I looked up the address of Kojima Productions studios in Japan, got the lift up to their floor and just started wandering around looking at Death Stranding stuff.

According to Wikipedia the UK Armed Forces across Army, Air Force and Navy numbers 190,750. Based on numbers I found in 2017 US study there are currently 87,141 supermarkets in the UK. All of which means every supermarket will have a brave 2.18 troops to protect its wares.

Which is why the first post-Brexit action of Johnson's government will be to bring back the draft to ensure the biscuits of Waitrose are protected at all costs.

Donald Trump is letting Turkey invade Syria to wipe out the Kurds, releasing all of the captured ISIS soldiers in the process, to punish Europe and help his personal allies in Turkey and Russia (via their puppet in Syria).

Also because the Kurds didn't help us during the Normandy landing during WW2 (He actually said this today)

Has he just accepted that impeachment is the best case scenario and trying to cause as much damage to the world as possible before it happens?
