I'm turned on looking at how beautifully those listed items stack up.
I think the last one has twice the commentators. If I recall the fifth mic gets kind of shouty. Sorry in advance.
Also, haven't formally expressed on here how much fun it was to get to be around when this feat went down. Was great hanging with everyone known previously, and just as great meeting everyone I only knew until then as head-voices or internet text. You all stand strong in a fond solidarity forged through traumatic experience.
Just getting the ROTK mp3 now. Were there tears?
I can remember people starting to cry in the cinema when Sam carries Frodo up the mountain.
And when Boromir dies. And when Gandalf 'dies'. And when Sam & Frodo give their 'I can see the shire' speech.
And when Aragorn & Arwen get back together during the coronation. And at the Grey Havens.
I haven't seen so many people cry in a movie-theatre since Jar Jar stepped in the poopy.
really looking forward to listening to ROTK as I crack on with Dragon VFX work, These have been great so far. I was expecting half a good commentary and then the rest would just be getting drunk and being very silly ![]()
I havn't relistened yet, that'll be tomorrows project (Woot for roto being the most mindless thing on the planet!!) but I am reminded of just how solidly you guys held up through the entire thing. Right up through to the last second of RoTK it was solid DiFing.
And obviously huuuge props to Dorkman for carrying all that on for 12 fucking hours.
I bow to all of you sirs.
Pretty sure that Legolas wind-up mount I thought existed was a total fabrication.
Just finished ROTK again. Fuck yeah guys. That was a hell of an awesome thing.
Honestly, I think Return of the King was my favorite chunk of this.
At least you didn't start mixing your franchises - 'here's Gandalf and Neo riding into Hogwarts on Aslan just before the Persian army attacks'
Loved the ending to this commentary, makes you realize the scope of what you guys accomplished (coming from someone who was unable to make it to the live show, still hating that my birthday was on the same weekend.) Very nicely done, kudos to those of you who went through all twelveish hours.
There's a discussion during ROTK about its epic battle to end all movie epic battles.
Kingdom of Heaven's Battle for Jerusalem, with its siege towers was similar in style.
The other one around the same time was Troy - with its harder 'R' violence in the extended cut.
Avatar's aerial finale was okay.
Phantom Menace's Naboo land battle needed the Yakety Sax cue
But for sheer awesome spectacle, LOTR kicks ass. The second half of ROTK is full of 'money shots' that most epic movies of the 1970s-90s were struggling just to include one of.
