I took particular offense to this movie because of how damn successful it was at our theater. I came out of it going "holy crap that sucked," yet it played for eight or nine weeks, which is insane for our little 7-plex. The damn thing outlasted Star Trek Into Darkness! And then of course White House Down came along, which I enjoyed much more and could tell was the film Olympus ripped off and rushed to theaters to beat, and that only played for two weeks. But I digress...

My biggest issue, plot-wise,

Bah!

I am disappoint.

I am also very late to this thread... and the forums overall

I've been pestering my last employer for about four months now for my Captain America, Thor and Harry Potter shots. I have the bluray rips since I bought them, but I need my Silhouette project files which they've told everyone we can have. Since it was all 3D conversion roto, there's nothing impressive about just looking at the shots unless you already know what 3D conversion roto looks like. At this point, I might just end up grabbing everything myself since I might be back out there in two weeks

Seth, your Muppets work is impressive... most impressive. I'm glad I got to run into you last June and chat for awhile. At the time I hadn't thought about how much work was involved in the film, but I later read the FX Guide article on it and had to see it on the big screen. I had a lot of fun watching it and was repeatedly impressed with the seamless effect shots throughout

I agree with your other questions, but wanted to correct you here. For one, Frodo didn't actually die; Jesus did.

Secondly, Jesus descending into Hell is sort of a misnomer, no doubt thanks to the Nicene creed. He did not in fact suffer in Hell in our place, but is sometimes thought to have gone to Hades briefly (the holding place before Hell is opened up on Judgement Day) to preach to those there and explain why they are there. The notion he suffered in Hell is easily dispelled by his words to the thief on Calvary: "today you will be with me in paradise." Clearly he was going to chill in Heaven more or less right away; albiet with maybe a pit stop

Thirdly, Jesus was not resurrected by an Angel, but by God the Father. The Angel was simply there as a messenger to Mary and the few disciples to discover the empty tomb, as they most often are... since it comes from the Greek word "angelos" meaning "messenger."

Anywho, as for the drinking games being mentioned, I think Arwen crying alone would kill us all. It would be interesting to go up against Gimli and Legolas in ROTK

One of the most hilarious moments for me was during Return of the Jedi, (2:08:00 - 2:09:09) when everyone is describing a pilot flying over the Grand Canyon without knowing what it is. It had me quite literally dying of laughter since I was recovering from my second lung surgery. Laughter of that magnitude was quite painful. After finding the timecode just now, it appears you were also in a fit of laughter, Teague, as you can be heard in the last 5-10 seconds catching your breath and repeating "this is your captain speaking... what the **** is that?"

I have. Twice. Once recently on Neflix Instant Watch. On my Mac.
