Official 'The Hobbit' Thread - Part 5

Yes, I do know what I find amusing.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I'm sorry that I find it disturbing that events that actually take place in the freakin' book are being pushed back a year in favor of the White Council, Seige of Dol Guldur, the history of the dwarves, and other copious amounts of fan-fiction - and therefore resulting in a cliffhanger ending that brings absolutely no sense of conclusion or shift in Bilbo's character.

Finding out that Beorn and Thranduil won't be in this film three months beforehand hurts like a mother****er, and I'm incredibly annoyed. I'd take seeing those two over all of the appendices material all day every day.

I don't see any whining about the look of the dwarves in your post. I must not have been talking about you.

Want a cookie?

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I still think its unnecessary for this film to be split into 3 films. Two would have been suffice.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Clearly those in charge felt differently. I'd say they're in a better position to know.

 

[regwec]

They're in a position to profit.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

yeah I know that...but still...theres not a whole lot of material to work with if ur gonna do 3 films.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Studios who don't profit don't stay in business.

You seem to have your finger on the pulse. Do you have a blog I can follow?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Har har. Look it's pretty simple. You can sit here on the internet and rant all day long but at the end of the day it's about the $$$ and if WB thinks they can make and extra 200 mill by adding a third film then it's going to happen. And deny all you like but if you were the ones in charge instead of some random duders on the intrawebs you'd do the same thing.

I didn't disagree with you, and it doesn't bother me. It isn't needed but we'll all get through this difficult time.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Most of us, anyway.

 

[Boom]

Beorn .

 

[Marvolo]

Ah, us and our first world problems.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

"Banana Republic ran out of khakis?!?"

 

[Boom]

I spilled my Mountain Dew .

 

[Kane52630]

First Boom problems.

 

[Iceman]

How are they planing on handling this at the moment? I heard somewhere 2 films to finish the Hobbit story & one to bridge Hobbit & LOTR?

 

[Boom]

It's three Hobbit films. No bridge film.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

But the bridging elements will consume a large cut of part 3 no? Will we see Frodo and Legolas the fabulous from the first film or the last?

First world questions.

All fine except Kili, who should be hanged.

How will Jackson reconcile the look of the Warg in the Hobbit to the look of the Wargs in the Two Towers? Will he leave the inconsistency be or will he go all Lucas to a future edition of the films?

Its simple. They are different breeds. Thats how i like to think of it and will reconcile the difference. I dont really care if its not brought up in the film im just happy they went back to the drawong board and ditched those abominations from TTT.
