Jay 37,374 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 It looked much better before the green tint. I wish TTT and ROTK weren't tinted as strongly too.

Then all versions of TTT were tinted, then all versions of ROTK were tinted. Now in 2011 he finally brought FOTR in line with the other two, at least on the blu ray of the EE, by tinting it. I would have preferred if all the films did not have the excessive tinting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I attributed the tinting in TTT and ROTK to exaggerate the desolation of the ruined landscapes and despair that our heroes feel as they near Mordor. But locations like Hobbiton and Rivendell should not have been tinted. They should seem happier and more colorful in respect, before the Quest begins. Apparently GL thought otherwise.

Jay 37,374 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I saw The Hunger Games on Friday. I didn't like it, it wasn't directed well. Too many close-ups and shaky-cam. Also they didn't explain the world at all, I saw it with 5 friends and we were all confused and didn't understand why things happened, we kept asking my GF (the only one who had read the book) what was going on. Even beyond that it just wasn't a very exciting movie, nothing really happened. Its 2 hours 20 minutes long, and the first literally HALF of the movie is setup, the games don't finally start until around 1 hour 10 minutes in. And even then, the main character spends most of the time strapped to a tree sleeping. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me when it's time for The Master, Amour, Killing Them Softly and Man Of Steel.Jason needs a title card at the beginning of a film, like in Star Wars. Or a narrator.Strangely enough, somehow The Hunger Games reminded of the moviemaking of the '70s. I guarantee the sequel will be fast paced and overexplanatory.

A24 4,346 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 For me it's official now, I prefer The Duellists over Barry Lyndon, the film that inspired Scott. Soon the blu-ray will be available. Get it!And Hannibal, seen from a certain perspective is great fun. Just ask Quint.Agreed on Legend. It does have some great visuals (especially during the first hour) but it's far from being a good movie.Punch-Drunk Love might actually be my favorite PTA movie.You don't miss anything by not having seen Someone To Watch Over Me, Black Rain, 1492, White Squall, GI Jane, A Good Year, American Gangster, or Robin Hood.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
