YUMMY.

Good, right? Sounds like a Miyazaki film gone awry!

I have a friend who believes that because pandas are so far off the cute scale that they must actually be agents of evil. He thinks there is a layer of pandas just under the earth's crust and in the End Times, they will erupt to the surface and become our overlords.

New season on its way!!

She's quite good in it, very natural. I do, however, think the film belongs to John Hawkes (swoon).

That's coz the flame bursts are from stock that Doug Trumbull already had. These kind of working tools aren't meant to be kept precious like the actual 35 or 65 film negs - that's probably why they look like crap at this point.

Blade Runner nerds unite!

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! :)
