Weekend movies: The Hobbit: C/C-

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Apr 1 '13, 07:50

I liked Martin Freeman and the scenery and....that was about it. After watching it, I almost felt compelled to sit down with the script and a red pen and axe a good 45 minutes from it.

  - Yeah, but I strongly disagree with the suggestion to "fix" it for home video release. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 1, 08:00
  - Yeah, that was inexcusable. Unless you're showing *every* vote....no one is going to keep count - Will Hunting Apr 1, 07:59 2

- I'm guessing it's not him but the studio wonks who wanted 3 movies. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 1, 08:16
- See, I don't know if I agree or disagree, but he's basically in a lose-lose situation. - Shaun Apr 1, 08:00 3

    - Well, I don't think it was deserved for LOTR3, but editing is more than just trimming the length of a film fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 1, 08:01 1
      - Yeah, but it's all splicing a movie together to maximize it's effectiveness. - Will Hunting Apr 1, 08:07
