Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

So, apparently, the 48 FPS version might only be getting a very limited release? I hope that's not the case, as I'm very curious to see what it'd look like.

I haven't heard to be honest but I wouldn't be surprised as theaters have to upgrade and that takes time.

I'm not going to worry about it since that version won't be showing anywhere near me.

Thanks Bat. We just posted something about it on torn this morning as well. Sounds like WB is doing about what I thought with its not ready in all cities yet, and just incase not everyone likes it.

If you can read these, then you shouldn't have any trouble reading the Sil or the history of ME. good luck!

Josh, I have a question. We're you into the movies or books first?

Long story short I was a fan before the movies but the movies lit that fire for me.

I was in 6th grade when ROTK came out. So yeah, definitely the movies.

Though, I did have all 3 read under my belt before it came out.

I remember seeing FOTR for the first time in theaters, and fell in love.

They're not the sole reason I'm a fan but they're the cherry on top for sure.

Man, I was getting close to graduate from college when ROTK came out in theaters.

Yeah, after seeing fotr and my mom having read the book I decided to make the trek through the books as well.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Books main reason for me plus these were the books that really got me into the awesome habit of reading alot fulltime 40 some-odd years ago...LOTR/Hobbit readings lead into some great things in my life...reading is so important...even back then I was say to myself and friends.."Man, can you imagine making this into a movie? That would be so cool."

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Although back then the LOTR effects would have looked like HR Puffinstuff(I bet a few of you are wondering what is this?)...Did you know they were going to make a Live action LOTR film back around 1980-81...John Boorman wanted to do it but after realizing that it would be impossible(cost and lack of Spec Effects) they scratched it and made Excalibur instead...
