I saw it last night. I enjoyed it but thought it was pretty clear Peter Jackson is deeply in love with the middle earth milieu he created and wants it to last as long as possible. I don't think it detracts from my recommendation to see the film to say that Jackson needed a good editor. The film is like 2:45 and should have been no more than 2:10 and maybe even less.Originally posted by UtahDan View PostSaw the Hobbit. Pure fun. .PLesa excuse the tpyos.

For me, Middle Earth is about the most fun escapism there is on film. I love that world and so I didn't even notice. Jackson can take all the time he needs to tell me the story. But certainly for people who don't enjoy it at the level I do, that is something they will notice (even though they may still really enjoy it over all).Originally posted by creekster View PostI saw it last night.

The Hobbit
I will add my .02- I loved it! I inwardly objected to all the extra plot development after the exposition, but then again we're gonna see a whole lot more plot than contained in the Hobbit alone. That last hour was outstanding. I'll be seeing this again very soon!"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

I agree completely. But where's an editor brave enough to tell Jackson that his version of Middle Earth is too long?Originally posted by creekster View PostI saw it last night.

When I compare the Hobbitt to LOTR, they are both around the same length. But I never thought that LOTR was too long. You just feel that every important scene in the Hobbitt runs about 10 minutes too long. Like I heard elsewhere, Jackson released the uncut version of the Hobbitt."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

She sounds like my wife. We saw the previews for Django and I turned to her and said, "That looks awesome." Her response, "Really?"Originally posted by CardiacCoug View PostI'm really getting psyched about Django.
Now I've just gotta find a way to talk my wife into going to it with me. She likes Scandal with Kerry Washington so I've got that going for me but she really hates Tarantino stuff like Pulp Fiction."You interns are like swallows. You shit all over my patients for six weeks and then fly off."

So am I. But 2 hours and 46 minutes? I need to have a talk with Tarantino. Took me forever to see Ingolorious because I was dreading its length, and this thing is even longer.Originally posted by CardiacCoug View PostI'm really getting psyched about Django.

There was a lot I liked about the ending, but I think it would have benefitted from not showing the time machine. Also, the ending kind of undercut the set up of the movie.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostYou think specifically of me? I am touched.
I will admit that I hated the ending. But I like to give credit to an original plot. Not great, but it did keep me engaged on a long international flight.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.
