i mean c'mon, foreign film category?!

[Norc]

[Amarië]

Go Kon-Tiki!

[Mrs Figg]

they may scrape one in for makeup, although they still didnt manage to make Gladders look ten years younger.

[Norc]

Go Kon-Tiki!

oh yeah

[azriel]

I think its a con & a sham to give a gong to someone who plays around with graphics,presses buttons & downloads stuff, & then say...An award goes to best design or whatever.. An award should go to REAL make up & inventiveness NOT to anything digital ! It all looked like an upgraded attempt by the producers of "Wallace & Gromit" to me, The Goblins, Orcs etc looked theyde been made from the left over plasticene from Ray HarryHausen, (only cos Nick Park wouldnt let PJ have any!)

[Pettytyrant101]

Animation award instead for films that more than 50% cgi?
Might be a good idea.

[Mrs Figg]

gotto disagree there. cgi is an art form, just like any designing. just because its electronic doesnt make it second class.

[Pettytyrant101]

Doesnt have to be seen as second class- only that it is more animation than it is film.
No real difference between creating and animating a million goblins and the goblin cave sets than there is making a bit of Toy Story- thats cgi too, but is still in the animation category.

[the truth]

I think Petty should have carried a barrel of buckie to NZ and had a few rounds with PJ , after the barrel was empty and PJ was in-capacitated , Petty should have stuffed him in the empty barrel and shipped him off to Timbuktoo. Then petty could have disguised himself as PJ and done the Blickin movie the right way.Just a thought .

[Pettytyrant101]

Dont give me ideas Truth!

[the truth]

Not part of the thread but , I think Black Riders are lurking around Bree , Folks are acting queerer than usual round there .

[the truth]

Well i thought it was a great Idea Petty ,I would have been glad to assist you. WE might have been able to get Orwell to go an flash his badge and arrest Boyens for impersonating a writer .

[Pettytyrant101]

WE might have been able to get Orwell to go an flash his badge and arrest Boyens for impersonating a writer .- Truth


Thats genius that is.

[the truth]

hmmm { Genius }

[Mrs Figg]

oh you mean the Boyens that won that Oscar?

[Ally]

The Hobbit is a glorious film - beautifully filmed, adapted and acted.  Typical of the so called 'artistic intelligensia' here in Forumshire with their snobbery to turn their noses up at it. 

[halfwise]

Oh, so long as you forget it's based in this classic book called "The Hobbit", it's not so bad.

[azriel]

And if it wasnt based on The Hobbit, would I go back,a year apart,to watch 3 films of it? "Underworld" yes, "X-men" yes, "Saga of The dwarves" ?

And poor Bombur doesnt even get on the list.

[Eldorion]

Bifur either, though if I recall correctly he was supposed to have lost the ability to speak after his axe/head injury.
