TypeO Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I's sorry, I have not seen that one yet. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have two. Quite the opposite. Not that it "hurts", just for convenience and efficiency. Not to mention bandwidth. Confusing trying to remember which movie thread you saw or read something particular in. Edit to add: And for the "countdowners"... In before Jahfin. lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm sure there's others but one I'm really looking forward to is The Hobbit, which I understand Peter Jackson has now decided to divide into three separate parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyHendrix Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have read the book and loved it but I am afraid that the movie will skip out on important parts (like they always do). I really enjoy the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Doe it have a specific date in December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I want to see the one coming out with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones. About a married couple going for counceling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is called "Hope Springs" That looks kind of funny. I am always up for a funny movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Considering how well the trilogy turned out I have similar hopes for The Hobbit. I also don't care for how parts are left out or when the plot is altered when movies are turned into books but it's just something that comes with the territory. Oftentimes there is also just no way to stay faithful to the written version, unless you get into miniseries, or sequels as Jackson is doing here. No matter how good of a job the filmmaker does or how faithful they may remain to the book, if I've read the book first, that tends to be the experience that means more to me and stays with me longer. With a book you have to use your imagination and those images we create in our minds can never be surpassed on the silver screen. At least that's always been my experience. Doe it have a specific date in December? December 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Victoria, The book is 287 pages long,so splitting it up into 2 films does make sense.3 is going to be a stretch ans PJ (Peter Jackson) is going have to use other Tolkien materials) First published in 1937(Sept. 21),it was originally a story to tell his children,it was published almost by accident.It revised in 1966 as the popularity of LOTR grew and Tolkien had the change "Riddles in the Dark' in order to conform to the LOTR and the ring to the One Ring.

KB I know!! I have read Les Miserables and the movies they have created sucked! Les Miserables is over 1200 pages and they created one movies out of it. I believe they are doing three movies because they can get more money that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailer looks really interesting, I am relieved they are using the same places as the Trilogy. Now when we have a Lord of The Rings Marathon I guess we will have to add The Hobbit in the beginning O_O That would be a loooong Marathon.

Jahfin Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've never read Larry McMurtry's book so I really have nothing to compare it to but I thought Lonesome Dove worked particularly well as a mini-series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen it before. I will probably watch it. I am running out of good TV shows and movies. I have been watching the Big Bang Theory and The Crosby Show for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
