The Hobbit

[Angrist]

I was already planning the LotR marathon in anticipation of the The Hobbit release, for me and some friends.
But then 1 friend decided that he doesn't want to watch LotR before The Hobbit. He wants to be overwhelmed by Middle Earth again... and that works better when you haven't seen anything lately.

So the rest of us kind of agree. No Lord of the Rings before this next movie! We'll do the marathon afterwards.
At least I got to read the book one last time before the movie. (It makes me want to start LotR right now, but I'll hold out for a few months.)

Gives examples of the same clip with 24 vs 48 frames per second. Thoughts? Preference?

I hate the soap opera look of the 48fps. The first thing I do on a TV with anti-motion blur technology is disable it.

You get used to it...it took me a few months.

Once you do get used to it, regular TV looks like dogshit and it's hard to look back.

I think I'm going to the midnight release next Friday - should be awesome.

I'm actually pretty excited about the 48fps in a theater - it will be a new experience at least. It probably is just a problem of being used to something.
