the tone is much more suited to a 21st century big bucks production though.
That to me is the difference. ( i mean in relation to the LOTR in Tolkien terms) I think PJ after all the well documented bitterness with New Line on rights and commercial legalities, was just no longer an option ... it'd effectively be like Heaven asking satan to direct the nativity this year .... ... just turn the other cheek! wouldn't wash! If that is the fact, then it's best they move it on to a director whom they can trust. what a ****ed-up world we live in , huh? |

They wouldn't even bother taking the five seconds it would take to laugh in our collective faces. The studios could care less what fans ask for! They have no soul. It's purely all about money to the studios. It's business, huge, huge business, not art. They could care less about art.

You of course, you have that flowing and flowery phrasing that gets you so much attention from the ladies

That's why we should all remember to support and encourage indie film and independent filmmakers as much as possible. There is where art can be free of studio manipulation; the last bastion of truth and art in film, Indie productions. It's just that it takes so, so much money to produce a dazzling film, so many filmmakers have to resort to going to the big studios for financial support, and then the studios get to screw with the art at their whim. That's why Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and them got together bakc when they did to make it so the artists themselves could call their own shots in filmmaking. United Artists, was that the studio they made? I think so. Of course, in time all the mondo studios end up getting the control, somehow. Hollywood is such a dirty business.

Jesus, calm down ButterCarrot, Hector was giving you a compliment! Can't you recognise a flattery when one's directed at you? He was flattering you!

I read The Hobbit to them a few years ago on a summer vacation. I'd read while we were driving - sometimes for hours! They were merciless! "C'mon, mom, you've rested your voice enough - read some more!!!"

I thought sir Ian McKellen was fine as Gandalf, couldn't think of a better actor for the role, and I too would like to see him back again in the Hobbit. So there.

I too wonder what exactly what you have against Ian McKellen HB... and of course they can mess the movie up, haven't you heard of Uwe Boll?
