Anyone can be a director of Peter Jackson's caliber.

Step 1: Make everything a sweeping helicopter shot.
Step 2: Add some more helicopter shots for good measure.
Step 3: Win Academy Award for most-awesomest-helicopter-shots.

Peter Jackson and Stanley Kubrick - overrated does not begin to describe them.

Here's another one, I've always said:

You know how you make a Kubrick movie? Fire the editor.

Hmm. Not really sure, actually. Aronofsky was one. Zach Snyder (probably misspelled his name) manages to blow me away every time, so I guess he'd be another. Sam Mendes. Oh, can't forget Ridley Scott either.

But those are really just directors that I like.

Zach Snyder really? The guy that did Sucker Punch. Probably one of the most over the top awful movies i saw this year lol. If you're gonna comment on certain directors doing certain things all the time. He's Mr Slow mo with lots of cgi and dark filter over the camera lens. Almost all the films he's done are exactly like that. I hope Man of Steel isn't going to be that way.

Agree on Ridley though. Always loved him.

Jean Pierre Junet and Park Chan-Wook are my favourite directors. Followed by David Fincher and John Hughes.

Peter Jackson's Real triumphs were Bad Taste and Brain Dead. Everything from the Frightners to Lovely Bones (another perfectly good book I enjoyed that was ruined by Jackson's lack of vision) was just nostalgia.

He must be stopped I tell you!!

Like it or not, when 300 came out, it was in a league of its own visually. There wasn't anything like it. I guess I just like that visual style. I thought Sucker Punch looked amazing and Snyder pulled off the material brilliantly.

But, if you don't like that sort of over-saturated pseudo-reality look (and ample slow-motion) then that's fine too. He's already said Man of Steel isn't going to look like 300 or Sucker Punch though, that it's his most down to earth film, visually.

I forgot to put Fincher in there as another director I like, Seej. Hard not to... I mean ... Fight Club, Seven. Come on.

Gandalf, Saruman, and Galadriel were involved in the meeting of the White Council to discuss the identity of the Necromancer – but Saruman and Galadriel are not mentioned in the much simpler account we get in The Hobbit. However all this is mentioned in expanded segments.

PJ is expanding on a lot of the stories told in the hobbit, hence why it's split into 2 films. One being focused on Bilbo and his journey with the dwarfs and one with Gandalf and his journey.

Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood, who appears as "the Elvenking" in The Hobbit. So it's perfectly within reason as to why he shows up. In fact it makes perfect sense. Sure it's to give continuity and flow with the already made lotr trilogy. Which is why i'm fine with it.

In PJ i trust. He did after all add tons of characters to the lotr movies. This has been discussed to death and it's not like he's adding characters that don't even exist in the story.

Oh and Legolas is confirmed as just being a small cameo.



OH.... MY.... FUCKING GOD SIBRY!!!!!!!






On a side note, does anyone know if Howard Shore is doing the musical score for the Hobbit? Would make sense since he's done the past 3 movies...

I'm just pro B) Haha for real though most that read the books know those things.

I believe Howard Shore is doing the music. Don't see why he wouldn't since i'd imagine a few of the songs would be the same as before or similar at least.

Mmm, would you happen to have listened to the soundtrack much?
