And it was bad decision there too, Jackson thought we are stupids and be confused by them.

:/

I appreciate that all three swords were meant to glow, but doing so would have made each one a bit less... distinct. They're all given their 'air-time' when Elrond is explaining the origins of each to Gandalf and co, which I really liked.

So Sting as the only sword that glows was the right way to go for me, not so much to avoid confusion but more to make each sword feel more unique. Orcist is highlighted mostly by the fact that it's an Elvish sword, made even more significant by Thorin being the one wielding it. That doesn't make it distinct, but that's kind of its importance in the film. And Glamdring is just known to be Gandalf's sword, which is all it needs to be.

I absolutely loved it though, but then I'm a Jackson/Tolkien nut so I was always going to love it.

I was also astounded to discover that Return of the King came out nine years ago... seems like just yesterday I was going to the cinema to see it. Crazy.

They can all be unique since people arent stupid to know differences, and the obvious change of all them...size, length and shape. It wouldnt kill them to just add a glow to all of them.
Besides, more color on weapons and such in a fantasy world is ALWAYS welcome and should be more done. Its flashy, it looks coo and makes them unique.

I kinda see your point but I don't agree with it, I would have greatly prefered to them to glow, even if different kinda of color, like gandalf's a white glow and Orcrist a Silver glow or something, they were made with that characteristic.

Oh well.

I really REALLY want to see Life of Pi and Cloud Atlas.

@FireWire

I havent read the book but I read from people who has and says Thorin is suppose to have that atitude against Bilbo and the elves.
But even so, when the elves were on the hill just watching with no help of course one would be pissed especially when they are suppose to be allies.

I wished Peter Jackson would use actors all the time for their orcs and goblins and use CGI for tons of characters on screen.
I dont get it, they have the money to spend alot to make it as goof as possible, and they used tons of actors and such in all three LOTR movies, why cut it short on this one?
I hope they havent gone the same route with Hobbit 2 and 3 would be a shame if so.

Oh...damn.

I hope Thorin becomes hated and greedy, yes i want another Aragorn character lol.

Fire speaks the truth. Even in the portion where you might think Thorin is being a dick, it's kind of understandable that he's protective of all the riches the dragon has lorded over for so long.

Rango.

Dead funny, quite clever. Good cast.

I'd recommend it.

Les Miserables was likely too long, but it was soooooooooo good

Django unchained, Zero Dark Thirty, enjoyed both. Enjoyed the hell out of Django. Might even be my favorite movie of 2012. Incredibly funny, incredibly well made, but how serious it got at times also really surprised me. Incredible performances from Leonardo Dicaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and Christoph Waltz. Jamie Foxx did a really good job as well, but the others just stood out so much more, but I think that was largely part of the intention.

In some ways, I'm tempted to say it's Tarantino's best yet, and that's a big statement considering some of his other impressive work that I love so much.

I'm stunned that I've been hesitating on seeing the Hobbit, because I heard so many things I didn't like, but it's LOTR, and I loved the first three LOTR movies, so it at least deserves a chance.

There are too many good movies out for the first time in ages. That's why I haven't seen Hobbit yet either

I really liked how Tarantino chose to use music in Django. Very well done. It really enhanced the movie, and that isn't always the case with a lot of movies.

i only liked the music during shooting training in the snow and Brother Dege track, the rest was meh.

I don't like the musical choices for the fact that they are necessarily songs I would like to listen to, as in quite a few cases they simply aren't. I like them for their, in my view, strong ability, regardless of time period appropriateness, for capturing the right mood of the particular moment, and also due to the fact that I think their being chosen is both clever, and in some cases so bizarre that it's genius. There is a freedom that Tarantino displays in the making of this movie that is a large part of what makes me enjoy it so much. This is a movie that doesn't at all forget that it's there to entertain an audience, and is very unashamed in its effort to do so. You can tell they had a lot of fun making this movie. He didn't concern himself with being overtly politically correct, he threw caution to wind, had a lot of fun, but at the same time he didn't also mind getting a bit serious at times.

I mean, he did some very bold shit in this movie, some of which I'm certain will offend, but if people are offended, then I think they miss the point. Slavery in itself is bizarre, it's a joke, and so there should be no surprise that we get a movie which focuses on that subject, and in its execution, isn't afraid to itself be bizarre in its own, unique way. That's pretty much the movie's goal. Slavery is preposterous and bizarre in the most extreme of ways, and I'll go ahead and make a movie that is its preposterous and bizarre equal. To sum up Django Unchained: it's the grand theft auto of movies about slavery. It totally has that personality.

pandorum cheap little movie only reason i clicked stream now (lovefilm) was because of dennis quaid, but damn movie was brilliant (probally thought that because i expected it to be SHIT!) great movie highly advise it.

I love this movie premise, is amazing to me.

Dat Twist

Argo, fucking argo. What an amazing movie. Ben Affleck was born to direct movies.

Also not a movie but the hell, just started watching The IT Crowd, some of the jokes are desperate but fucking hell it makes me howl "how did they get in" "i dont knooooow I'M DISABLED" *sheds tear*

This Means War

Chris pines character is such a unlikable prick

Tom Hardy awesome as ever, wish he did not exaggerate his accent though for the sake of American audience.
