Yeah, that is one positive, I've heard 48p 3-D causes significantly less headaches and eye strain— so I AM looking forward to that!

British TV just doesn't quit have the money to support most adult-orientated long arc slow-burn fantasy/sci-fi series. And when they do go on, the inevitably self-implode (Misfits, Being Human). The ones geared towards children seem to do much better like Dr. Who which is just a mega cash cow and Merlin, which barely…

Dear Americans embarking on watching Misfits.

Watch with a guarded heart. It was canceled.

24 and 25 fps film doesn't look natural to me, just pleasing to the eye. That's why I like it. It's "wetter" than real life, with softer, more diffuse light. As someone who's worked in film production for 20 years, I'm familiar with every format, resolution, aspect ratio— interlaced, progressive scan, PAL, Secam,…

Yeah, she's among some of the more powerful but to say she's the most powerful is weird. It's a shame that the Silmarillion won't get made because I feel that really did have organically, more good female characters— not to mention some really wickedly dark stories.

I have no problem with that. I think it's the way it was phrased the article sounded a bit, I don't know, like a bandaid on a bigger issue or something.

Did you read the rest of my post after the first line? Because I basically said, I'm frustrated by the lack of diversity in Hollywood— BUT sticking it into LOTR which is a European fantasy with a mostly male cast is just awkward. I was agreeing with you.

But Gandalf is a demi-god.

Well, perhaps the way it's phrased in the article left me more ambivalent. I realize there's female elves and she could easily be in Mirkwood or Rivendell. But she sounded like a hell of a big part from the way they were describing it.

Haha, yeah — I mean idiots will always be idiots.

It still drives me crazy watching TV over at a friends house who has that cinemagic effect. My eye still hasn't gotten used to it after 2 years. It's not like it's a new look anyway. I think it'll just look like really, really high def interlaced video. Which is a thing I guess, and in a realistic movie might work,…

Cute pic!

Also, I think the S. African sense of humor is a unique thing. Even if he says "comedy," it's bound to be pretty dark, right?

IDK, I consider District 9 a satire among other things and it definitely has some laughs in it.

I'm digging this style. Love anything Aeon Flux inspired.

So they created a new character, Tauriel, played by Lost's Evangeline Lilly. "We believe it's completely within the spirit of Tolkien."

Aaaand that's why it looked amazing and not like an overly crisp 1970s BBC soap opera.

I'm very curious if there's skeletal information which leads them to believe it had human appearing eyes. Rather than those golden-reddish brown chimp eyes. I also wonder at what point in our history our eyes started to look so different from theirs.

What does the interviewer ask at the end about speaking some language? I can't hear it.
