Seconded. This is an amazing group of people.

Also, just throwing this out there-what if Tom did his dialog in Norwegian? Would that seem odd to then add subtitles or would it work?

Sorry, just random thoughts here.

That's just what the government wants you to think

I will freely admit to being a bit of a hoarder in that I save things for years because I think I might need them some day. Given the way we weep and cry over the loss of information at the Library of Alexandria burning or other such tragedies, I'm inclined to say save it, at least writings and movies and such.

And even there is no long term "plan" for saving media (save for an old salt mine) many schools have created databases of material for online libraries. So, I imagine it is only a matter of time before a larger database is created to preserve knowledge.

Well, when you want to get stuff done, it's easy to feel the need to move on.

Also, I wish any of my fan film projects went half as smoothly. If only i still had those VHS tapes

Still, very exciting and can't wait to see more!

I have one of those. A really, really big dictionary.

And that's completely fair. I'm not one who demands that you feel or respond in a particular way to a film.

But, I have grown rather attached to many of the characters, including Thorin, Fili, Kili, Balin and Dwalin. I like them and want to see them succeed. I guess that is why the films work for me, but don't work for others.

This is true. I was just combining Zarban's suggestions. I should have gone with a Gungan chariot race.

At first I thought we were still dealing with crazy Teague ramblings and was going to post this:

However, I just remembered that he said he was taking an airplane to Zarban's secret lair, so we will just wait for the GPS coordinates

A DEWBACK RACE!

To rival Ben-Hur!

Sure, Teague, it all makes perfect sense. Please, tell me more about the Shatner in your head.

Also, a documentary would be cool. The snowball only gets to stop when I get action figures!

*is still the only one here who liked the Hobbit*

Can't wait for this movie

That's fair, but perhaps some movies require more forgiveness than others. I am far more forgiving of films that many are critical of, such as The Hobbit, Attack of the Clones, Chronicles of Riddick, among others because of the tone or story. Heck, on Movie Mistakes, Lord of the Rings films are among the top ones for mistakes. They are also my favorite films of all time.

Even one of my favorite TV shows, MASH, has a plethora of mistakes or flaws that I notice. One scene I can recall vividly is in the showers, and a character yanks on the water chain, and the whole prop falls apart. It's brief, but I notice it. It doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the episode or that scene. I laugh and move along.

For me, it is the same thing with all these different criticisms  on the Internet. I laugh and I move on. I'm not looking for serious analysis, because that isn't what the film is about. The larger whole matters more to me. As you have probably noticed, I am an ardent defender of Star Trek Into Darkness, because the tone and themes of the film are ones that I believe are important. That is not an opinion that is shared by many.

So, CS is something that I don't take seriously. I don't regard it as film analysis, and I don't look to it for telling me a film is bad. I have other sources for that. If other people take it seriously, then that is something I cannot help. I simply express my opinion, and let it fall were it may.

Also, I will disagree and maintain that the Adam West Batman movie is far more aware of the silly nature of Batman, and embraces it fully. It is a more enjoyable film, in my opinion, because of the tone of the film. Batman and Robin was perhaps less successful because it tried to bridge the gap from Batman Forever, a more serious and brooding take, and the campier take in Batman and Robin. But, that is a discussion for elsewhere.

I don't entirely agree with Jp12x's opinion regarding the higher sin count being associated with poor films. The Matrix got 85 and Batman and Robin got 122, so there is not, to me, some set correlation between higher sin count and film quality. Heck, even films like "The Room," get artificially inflated counts just due to bonus rounds and different counts and things like that. So, not sure, like you said, how you get meaning because of the multitude of jokes.

It's comedy and I like the longer movies and higher score counts because it means more jokes. It is just like wanting WAYDM to do things like Twilight, Spiderman series, Star Wars prequels, Howard the Duck and Batman and Robin because they are, generally, regarded as poor films and are ripe for mocking. CS, and others, just happen to do it in the most superficial way possible. I find it enjoyable, but your mileage may vary.
