You guys know that you can turn that feature off on your TVs right? I tried to get use to it but it was way too distracting.

I might have missed it in the previous posts, but when is the Hobbit being released?

Yeah you can turn it off but you can't do the same thing in theaters if they are running the 48 FPS version.
Feels like you are watching live sports instead of an epic film. It's hard to explain. People call it the Soap Opera effect because you often get that on higher FPS, cheaper video-tape like most Soap Operas are filmed on. People have described seeing the preview as like actually being on set watching it with your own eyes and seeing a bunch of actors acting and doing things you know are fake and the whole suspension of disbelief is made much harder because that separation or dreaminess of 24 FPS is gone.

Quickbeam survived his trip to VEGA$ and back -- and has returned with a very detailed report on the 10 minutes of HOBBIT footage shown at CinemaCon! For those who could not tune into the live webcast TORn TUESDAY, here is Cliff's comprehensive review of the footage and a talking down of the so-called 48 fps controversy! IF YOU DON'T WANT MAJOR SPOILERS THEN BE CAUTIOUS http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012...rage-analysis/

Time for a bump, only 162 more days! Some new shots from the movie, nothing really exciting.
http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,2048...608420,00.html
The coverstory this week in Entertainment Weekly is about The Hobbit.

Can you post a larger resolution image? I can't see Gandalf in this one.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

for the Comic-Con posters Jackson should've put "From the director of Meet the Feebles" instead.

I've always hated this quote. Rather than speaking in riddles, its much easier to "A wizard always arrives on time" or "on the dot". Stupid wizards.

But he's not necessarily "on time" relative to the people waiting for him. That's just when he meant to arrive.

Wizards are no more epic than normal human beings. Proper courtesy dictates to arrive on time. 
Then again he's an old man, likely suffering from early stage dementia and possibly Malaria or Dengu due to the copious amounts of time spent outside in untreated shrubbery around Middle Earth.

This is a neat scroll from Entertainment Weekly. It just shows stills of some scenes. The dwarves in the barrels at the end look great!
