i wish i could be like peter jackson and never have to brush my hair. They're both lovable in their own way really, peter looks like your random wierd happy uncle guy who always ends up dancing around at family reunions after only one drink. xD

Peter Jackson is fantastic, isn't he?

Just thought this pic was cute, in a 'fatherly respect' kind of way from Elijah.

I kind of hate Peter Jackson for what he did to Christopher Lee. I mean, Christopher Lee once said that Peter Jackson should've won an Oscar for best direction... He was nothing but complimentary. And then he cut him out of the film? Why? I don't care if it's going to be in the extended edition DVD, it's horseshit. And yes, I am totally buying the extended edition DVD. Sigh.

'Lij is so cute.

I think it was because Jackson wanted to focus on Frodo's journey and the Ring, and the Saruman thread wasn't necessary to that- it is a bit of a sideline form the main story.

It is a pity, but there is a logic to it.

And Elijah is always cute!

Hmm...

I'm sure PJ didn't do that because of something personal. I mean it wasn't meant to be *against* Christopher Lee. It's all because of the flow of the film. It wouldn't have worked otherwise. It wouldn't have fitted into 3 hours. (and a half) and it's all very complicated.
Don't get me wrong, any change made to the books pains me awfully, but we have to accept that movie and book are totally different, and no one (except people like me probably) would want to watch a film that exactly follows the books. It wouldn't be possible with time as well. It's all very complicated ... I think PJ and co did a very good job and the Globe is well earned.
Cheers!

Heehee!!! Thank you! My icon seems to be the only thing that attracts people's attention! :)

If Chris Lee is nothing else, he's a PROFESSIONAL ACTOR who understands the necessity of editing for cleaner storytelling. I mean -- geez, the movie's ALREADY three and a half hours long! Your average audience today doesn't have that long of an attention span (plus they don't offer intermissions). After the two-hour mark they start squirming.

The extended versions are great because they WILL have more, for those of us who ARE devout fans and could sit through every second of all three extended versions without batting an eye. ;) So Chris' performance WILL be seen in its entirity, and he's still getting paid handsomely for it.

Also, Chris is a MAJOR Tolkien fan, and he was VERY pleased to be a part of this venture. He was the on-set expert, and people respected him for his knowledge (and the fact that he once MET J.R.R.!). If he wasn't happy with the transfer of book to film, he would've said so. He's always spoken his mind.

So don't worry about him. The story is about the Ring and Frodo; he was but one of many pieces on the board.

Actually, in the four times I have been to see ROTK, there has been an intermission.

But then, they were small, local indie cinemas, rather than big multiplexes.

I agree with everything else you said though.

-shrug- I've been three times at three different theaters and never once had an intermission. Actually, I've never had an intermission at any movie.

[tweeasfuck.livejournal.com]

It is unusual. But my local cinema has an intermission for most long films- all the LOTR and Harry Potter films have had them.

So, it is extremely odd, but does happen.

*pets Lij* Aww, you're so cute. Even if you are giving PJ a strange, far-too-intense, kind of take-me-now look. O_o;

[tweeasfuck.livejournal.com]

I saw it as more sort of respectful for someone he's worked with and greatly admires, which is a much nicer way to see it :)

[swirl-girlx.livejournal.com]

Muuch better way to look at it. I think I'm just rather pervy.

[poseurbunny.livejournal.com]

i went with the pervy thing..i saw elijah's stare and was like "ooh! whos he looking at...oh...peter...jackson...sexy, kinda"

i like the post anyway!

[tweeasfuck.livejournal.com]

Glad you like it anyway!

[swirl-girlx.livejournal.com]

*mental replaces PJ with Dom*
Ahh...lotsa sexy...

[poseurbunny.livejournal.com]

GAH! *drool*

[readmywords.livejournal.com]

Well, there goes my erection...

[tweeasfuck.livejournal.com]

Well, I thought it was nice, in a sweet, platonic kind of way.

Sorry you didn't like it.
