Hear, hear. I'd also love to see a big fat exhibition the way they did with Star Trek or Harry Potter - think of how awesome it could be - all the stuff from BR plus props etc from films inspired by BR - mind-blowing! Someone get on this!!

They are definitely proto-animatics! Kubrick did the same thing in '2001' for his in-camera stuff. But 'storyboards' are technically for setting up live-action camera moves (or, in animation, setting up camera for animation) before anything is shot. You can tell the film has already been shot in these images.

Anybody know who did the neat Arthur Rackham-style art for that cover of 'Invisible World?'

Blade Runner Wonder Twin powers, activate!

These aren't storyboards. They're awesome, but they're matte production stills for in-camera effects compositing. The storyboards for Blade Runner were drawn by hand in pre-production.

I saw it at the Arclight in 3D, 48 fps with their new sound system that basically turned my bones to jelly. Insane. I wanted to see the film projected how it was shot; I'll be able to watch it in 2D for the rest of my life on my TV (or, er, at least until all our TVs are 3D like in Minority Report).

Um, understatement. I would say Thorin, Fili and Kili are hotter than all the elves put together. Even Lee Pace, who is ordinarily gorgeous, looked like a parody of himself!

Nail on the head. And one wonders where Walter would go with a sled drawn by Rhosgobel rabbits!

I personally could have watched 3 hours of the Dwarves just doing their thing. I thought they were the most grounded group of characters in the whole epic storyline of all 4 existing films. I was pleasantly surprised at how little silliness (especially considering it could have turned into The Martin Freeman Show - I

DONE!!

Oh shit, love that. Can you also get good swag? One of my favorite possessions is the really beautifully-done Marauder's Map I got from the exhibition.

Good plan about off-season for SURE! I bet otherwise it would be a $$$ trip...

Solid. I myself am a medium-sized fan but a BIG fan in particular of the design of the films, so it would prolly be worth it for me for the world-immersion. Good thought about it just being a one-day thing, though. I appreciate it! :)

OK, riddle me this: should I fly to Florida to go to the park? Is it worth the trip? Or should I wait until the new park opens in LA (my hometown) in a couple of years? (To relate: I flew to Boston to see the marvelous exhibition a couple of years ago, but I generally hate theme parks and would otherwise never go to

Cummerbund Bandersnatch. Big fat plus one.

Oh, I'm pretty sure he will, even though everyone else in this film is a fine actor for sure. He is deeply, bizarrely mesmerizing.

+1 on behalf of transitional LOLcats worldwide

Just imagine that last shot of 'Jurassic Park' with a big-assed rooster hooting victoriously instead!?

DO WANT!! except it costs like sixty U.S. dollars which maybe makes me think I will be better off begging my elderly mother to knit one for me.

Humpback whales, for the win! :)
