Re: The Hobbit

What of the rumours of Ian McKellan and Christopher Lee returning as Gandalf and Saruman? Any truth to that?

Forget about that, I've heard that the films may not be filmed in New Zealand due to an actor's union dispute. And isn't MGM on the verge of bankruptcy?

Yup. that's why there hasn't been any word about another Bond film after Quantum of Solace.

Actually, if it were two movies, you'd only wait one year in between to see the whole film. And only two years if it is three movies...

Three movies? Really? Ugh. I just don't think I have the energy...

Well, that's your fault for masturbating to 3 hour long Hobbit movies for the whole duration. It is a bit extreme.

Well, I'm screwed then. My doctor told me I only got 1 year to live. So, I'm hoping there's only two movies at most if I have any chance in seeing this.

(No way I'm wearing those dorky 3D glasses.)

That's exactly how I would imagine 3D glasses would look in Middle Earth.

It's hard to say, since the originating news article is in Italian. However, it may be like the Podracer glasses for Star Wars Ep 1 where select theaters "gave away" them to people attending the 3D screenings.

Avengers had similar custom glasses, but those cost an additional $5:

Re: The Hobbit

Ah, OK, thanks. I was curious if there was going to be some kind of contest for them, or if it would just be up to theater chains to choose to give them away.

That would make sense as they were made to look like the ones Harry wore.

But those ones for Hobbit? WTF? i'm just glad they're "compatible with passive 3d tvs, monitors, and laptops"; just like the ones the ancient races of Middle Earth had.

The quotes were posts 1307 and 1327, both made on 7/30, and yours was post 1381, so you would've had to have read the previous 53 posts, about two pages and about two days worth of posts. I'm not sure it's an unreasonable expectation that you've read at least a few days worth of recent posts before commenting in a 5 year old thread.

Or maybe take 5 seconds to do a quick Google search for something like "hobbit movie trilogy", which returns "Peter Jackson splits 'The Hobbit' into three films" as its first news result.

Re: The Hobbit

Or maybe 3-5 posts above yours to see if people are already talking about it? I mean, it was only 20 posts, superdeluxe!

And how the hell was I supposed to know that that information was in posts #1,307 and #1,327 without actually reading 1,307 and 1,327 posts, huh? That's just being ridiculous.

Why the hell should I Google search before I make a comment? Do you??? I suppose neither of you have ever made a mistake?


Both of you can bite me. -kd5-
