Can't help but respect that.

I really hope this cleans up in the Oscars like RotK did (and I'm sure it will) just because no other movie maker goes out of their way like he does to produce a film of this quality.
It's almost upsetting knowing that a lot of these big block buster films that make $700+ million are mostly just CGI have tripe stories/scripts, terrible acting, horrible directing, bland action, yet still make a killing. I don't know how anyone can watch this (blog video #5) and still mention The Hobbit (or LotR) in the same breath as Transformers or any of that other garbage that has been a "blockbuster" in the past few years. Like the movies or not, you have to respect the film making, which is genuine. They don't give a fata about the money (well they probably do), but they want to tell the best story and want everything in the movie to be good. Not many blockbusters care anymore.
I really hope these movies kill at the box office and break Avatar's record. Peter Jackson and co. deserve that for the amount of effort being put into making these films.
