Just watched it.

I like it. Saw it in 3D, 24p. Our local cinema opted out of showing it in HFR(Although every cinema in Norway can), and today really was the only opportunity we had to see it, which meant it was 3D, or blu-ray in a few months.

This also marks the first time I wasn't annoyed at all by the 3D. It wasn't intrusive, in-my-face at all, but instead actually did what they claimed; enhance the experience.

There were a few bits where I went "Time to cut, people", and felt some bits could be shortened in general, as it really didn't need all 3 hours, but overall, I really enjoyed spending time with Gandalf, Bilbo, the seve-, erm, 13 dwarves, Saruman, Galadriel and Elrond again. I also like Radagast, and having not read either books from Tolkien, it was also fun to put a face to Gorkil and Azog, both of which I've only been introduced to in video games.

Also, re-releasing Avatar in HFR would make another profit akin to a small countries GRP.

Heh.  Thanks, Teague.  Am I in that movie at all anymore?

Rico - uh. You're "in it" like I'm "in it." Which is to say, there are you-shaped pixels a few times.

Alas, the bananas line is gone.
