If there was an award committee for just technical aspects of movie making, this would completely clean up. I can see why these two films cost $500 million to make.

That's what keeps flooring me. The Fellowship of the Ring was in theaters a decade ago. A decade!

No, They'll probably give it The Dark Knight Rises just because they snubbed The Dark Knight even though TDK will probably be better.

I wonder if the The Hobbit (either parts) can outlast Return of the King extended edition? 4+ hours of Hobbity goodness.

So, rumblings out of movie critic land is that the format P. Jackson chose to film the Hobbit in (48fps vs the older 24fps) makes the movie look like a cheap television show. This can't be good news, can it?

I can understand what they mean and it does make sense. When I bought my new LED TV and watched it in HD for the first time, most shows it seemed like I was watching the actors act, as in a play of some sort, as opposed to the normal aesthetic of a TV show. I did get used to it after a while, and don't notice it as much any more, but I did slow down the refresh rate on the TV as well so that helped. I still think that this movie is going to be absolutely spectacular though.

I have faith that Jackson and Co. knew what they were doing with the choice of going to 48fps. I will reserve judgement until I am in the theatre watching it.

On the plus side, I'd guess that only 3d theatres will have the technological support to show the 48fps. So we should have some options in what version of the film we can see. I'm still pretty excited about seeing the 48fps for the first time and he still has plenty of time to fine tune these kinds of details.

Thread should probably be moved to the new Food and Entertainment sub-forum. I want my trailers and spoilers all in one place!

I really hate that super-clear look that you get on new TV's like the IGN article states, you end up focusing more on the image and less on the story.

I REALLY hope this isnt a new trend in filmmaking, i cant stand that ultra-clear look. Nothing looks natural about it.

This really bugged me when I purchased my LED TV, but after getting used to it, I actually prefer it.

My parents have an LED TV and i'm only there once in a while, so I never get used to it. Every time I go over there it annoys the hell out of me.
