Barnald 365 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You see that was my argument in a huge post about Azog I did on TORN (it was quite magnificent, I really must post it here some day, it was wasted there), but someone said the Kili healing scene was the first thing Lilly did, in the first block, so I assumed I was wrong. I figured that her healing a child (presumably Bard's daughter?) was replaced by the Kili scene, but apparently not. Imagine if that was restored to the EE...perish the thought.EDIT: Here's the thread: http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?post=864106#864106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Maybe they were just going to have Tauriel going around healing the entire population of Laketown, showing her to be the greatest healer in the history of Middle-earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 But why didn't she heal Thorin? The bitch!She only heals dwarves she fancies. It is the power of LOOOOVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smaug The Iron 510 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Smaug_the_iron didn't back this up with an article, so I don't buy it!Why would they have bothered shooting a scene with Tauriel healing Greta or Gerta, if they had already a scene with Tauriel healing Kili? Doesn't make sense. But again, there aren't that many things that make sense regarding the making of these films!It is on the appendices part 9 in Bard's house where Evangeline lilly is saying that it was here first scene she shot.

Jay 37,287 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Well, I'm doing it! I'm going to see the EE of film 3 at my local movie theater tonight. It's starts at 7:30pm EST, so just about 12 hours from now.I'll even try to record some of the new music on my phone! Can anyone help by telling me some times I should start recording? Obviously the opening sequence, when it seems the chariot scene is about to start, and Thorin's funeral.... What else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,301 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm not sure what the point was making the new Hobbit films so super-dooper-amazingly-high-definition with all their fancy HFR trickery, only to smear the post-production equivalent of vaseline over the entire film?Can we please bring back Fellowship of the Ring director Peter Jackson?

Jay 37,287 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Wait, what? You actually still care enough about this franchise you don't want to be spoiled by new footage in one of the worst movies of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnald 365 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 You actually still care enough about this franchise you've bought a ticket to a one-night only theatrical screening of an expanded version of one of the worst movies of the (last?) year?As for recording music, any new battle stuff, including Beorn. And maybe that scene with Bilbo and Bofur if it's in there. You'll know best I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hmm, then why would you even open this thread before you've seen the film, not that it'll be out in the wild after today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnald 365 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I have to say, I'd love to be able to go tonight, because I probably won't have the willpower to hold out until next week. In this instance it's particularly intriguing because, although only 20 minutes, we've only seen about 30 seconds worth of the new footage, and even then out of context. Usually we've had scenes or full trailers by now, and had proper confirmations from interviews or early reports. Moreover, the silence from Jackson over the past year adds to the mystery. You hope that it might be radically altered, with footage replaced and improved CGI in places, and that we'll all come away a lot happier.Of course, this won't happen, but we're allowed to dream for the next 12 hours or so. You can put your house on there being at least one (surely more) addition we're all anticipating that won't be included, while even something like Beorn is likely to disappoint after all this time.

Jay 37,287 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I was planning on discussing the music in a spoiler-free manner in the thread for the score. This is a thread to discuss the EE, it'd be odd to me to spoiler-tag it?Is this theatrical screening a US only thing? Am I really the only one from here going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnald 365 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This is true. If we get a decent amount of Beorn and the funeral, plus more Dol Guldur and the battle (mainly Dwarven-related), my expectations will be satisfied. Anything else of interest will be a bonus.I was planning on discussing the music in a spoiler-free manner in the thread for the score.

Jay 37,287 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Right, exactly. This trilogy as films were utterly a failure and not a win.The scores were fantastic, though. I'm going tonight for the score, not the stupid film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
