Incanus 5,715 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Who wrote that? Shore? Pope? Plan 9?Why write anything when you can just sample other people's work and put dialogue snippets and some beats behind it. Making music is just that easy! I am sure the hours of putting that together were well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Interesting. Doesn't really fit with the rest of the animation style.It says Bakshi began to animate the sequence but it was dropped from the final cut, which I take to mean that it is a preliminary version of the scene, not what it would have looked if it had indeed incorporated into the film.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The same reason he has white robes in Fangorn when he claimed to lay naked in the snow after Eru returned him to Middle-Earth. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 You forget. The sword is Glamdring! Wrought by the Noldor for Turgon. Elven king of the Noldor, second son of Fingolfin, brother to Fingon, Aredhel and Argon, and ruler of the hidden city of Gondolin.The same reason he has white robes in Fangorn when he claimed to lay naked in the snow after Eru returned him to Middle-Earth.RichWrong!The Lord of the Eagles found Gandalf ontop of the mountain and brought him to Lothlorien, to be taken under the care of the Lady Galadriel. This is why the new staff Galdalf the White bears has a distinct Lothlorien appearance to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yes Steef, but the Khazadum sequence in Bakshi's film literally shows Glamdring fall apart in his battle with the....Balrog (if you can call it that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Cool, the sword has a name. So it put itself back together? My "reason" was that it happens offscreen. I couldn't care less what happens offscreen. It's not like the books are worth reading. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 You think the Foehammer, wrought at the hight of the power of the Elves in Middle earth could not survive, and reconstitute itself?The skill of the Firstborn and the light of the Valar was in its very essence!It's not like the books are worth reading.RichI think you are a dickhead for saying this!

KK 3,307 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I didn't know the sword was so great that it just reformed in times of dire need...Yes Steef, but the Khazadum sequence in Bakshi's film literally shows Glamdring fall apart in his battle with the....Balrog (if you can call it that).It's not a Balrog. It's a winged lion!There's a lion in there? Hard to see with the way the rotoscoped it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the film Gandalf is rotoscoped, and this clearly isn't. If it really was developed from original material created for and then cut for the film before it was finished, shouldn't it either be rotoscoped or just plain real life footage of stand ins?

Incanus 5,715 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Mr. Mortensen's assesments are very sharp. I would say it is sort of a George Lucas/Ridley Scott syndrome that Peter Jackson is suffering with The Hobbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the Hobbit films are reflecting negatively on the original trilogy?I think that's taking Hobbit dislike to extremes. I imagine Viggo had honest problems with TTT and ROTK, which I don't fully understand. These were always going to be bigger in scale given the battle scenes, and thus require more CGI. Plus the thing about the secondary characters makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
