LadyCrimson Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 How many hours have you spent watching LoTR in total? Including theatrical release. Hmm...considering I saw all three in the theater, then rented each one when they first came out on DVD, then rented the extended versions as they came out one by one, and then bought the extended 3-set when it first came out a while back, plus toyed with capturing stills and avi's, I'd guess....um....too many. But still not as many hours as I spent watching Terminator1 back in the late 80's. “Things are as they are.

Judge Hades Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 That's the problem with movies these days. Lets keep the action in but cut character development when it comes down to editing a film. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its just not movies. When was the last time we got a traditional story rich CRPG with good three dimensional character development? Its been a few years.

Blarghagh Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) I suggest you look up what Hollywood is, captain elitist. Edited December 31, 2005 by TrueNeutral

Aside from New Line, what other production companies were involved?
Kaftan Barlast Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Production Companies * New Line Cinema * WingNut Films * The Saul Zaentz Company (licensor) (d/b/a Tolkien Enterprises) Produced by Peter Jackson .... producer Michael Lynne .... executive producer: New Line Cinema Mark Ordesky .... executive producer: New Line Cinema Barrie M. Osborne .... producer Rick Porras .... co-producer: WingNut Films Tim Sanders .... producer Jamie Selkirk .... co-producer: WingNut Films Robert Shaye .... executive producer: New Line Cinema Ellen Somers .... associate producer (as Ellen M. Somers) Fran Walsh .... producer Bob Weinstein .... executive producer Harvey Weinstein .... executive producer You need to have ImdbPRO to get the full production information. The regular imdb doesnt distinguish between real producers and people who merely get credited as executive producers as part of their contract. But a Hollywood film is a Hollywood film, no matter if its filmed in Bogota with a Pakistani Director. It is the suits behind it who dictate the terms and have complete control of how it reaches the theatres.

Darth_Schmarth Posted December 31, 2005 Author Posted December 31, 2005 ...and Peter Jackson is quickly becoming a Hollywood blockbuster name. I'm still looking for the answer to the one below, though: Did I forget something from the books or what's the story here...? I do still take issue with the role reversal of Faramir and Boromir; I don't see that it served much purpose. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum
Blarghagh Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) *sigh* Hollywood is the U.S. Film Industry. It doesn't matter if Americans funded it or not, it wasn't made by the U.S. Film Industry. It was made by the New Zealand Film Industry. The same arguement can be made against your point by saying WingNut is involved. It proves nothing. Edited January 2, 2006 by TrueNeutral
