RotK, Bah

Put me in with the 3% of the population who didn’t like it. There is just no excuse for the agonizingly-slow opening or the agonizingly-slow ending. For example: the book’s last paragraph is He drew a deep breath. “Well, I’m back,” he said. Cut to black, dammit! What could be more cinematic? The movie is good where it stays close to the book: the ride of the Rohirrim; Eowyn and the Nazgul; Frodo and Gollum at the Cracks of Doom. The further it strays, the cheesier it gets, and it strays pretty far. Why lose the scene where Grond strikes down the gates of Minas Tirith and the witch-king rides in to confront Gandalf? To buy time for endless tedious minutes of Frodo and Sam climbing the side of Morgul Vale? Why the stupid by-play with Gollum undermining Sam, cheapening the main Frodo-vs-the-Ring story? And one more gripe, not just with this third either: Jackson loves this disgusting shot where Frodo’s on his back paralyzed with fear crawling backward away from a monster of one sort or another, which is neither realistic nor very flattering to Mr. Baggins. I think this cheesy special-effects vehicle is benefitting big-time from everyone’s expectations of Hollywood being so low that it gets raves just for not being egregiously bad.

night-scopes 05/31/2004 04:03 AM
The new Harry Potter movie is out in the UK and the cinemas are filled with minimum-wage ushers with night-scopes to hunt-and-destroy people videotaping the flick. I'm seeing it this morning at Leicester Square, and I plan on taking a flas h photo of the copyright warning, as is my wont. Wonder if they'll deport me?

Staff at the Vue will be "very discreet" with their potentially frightening cyclopean attachments, Mr Graham said, but action against offenders would be swift.

Much like the battered young wizards on screen, who are constantly being whirled about by baddies, pirates will be "hauled out of their seats and reported straight away to the police".

There's an official, licensed Lord of the Rings Elvish navel ring. As Diane Duane (author of the "Young Wizards" books) notes, "This takes things just a little too far. What's that high-pitched whining sound I hear? Could it be J.R.R. spinning...? ...There may be the occasional Young Wizards coffee mug or sweatshirt. But there will never be a Young Wizards navel ring."

Adorn your belly with Elven beauty wearing this Arwen Pendant Navel Ring. Weighing 14 grams and made out of surgical steel, this ring features the design motif from Arwen's necklace and earrings set and is sure to turn heads. The bottom ball is cubic zirconium and measures 5mm in diameter.

But why oh why is the "large" version a puny 480x208... If I'm going to play these three minutes in loop from now to Christmas, at least they could have made it in a higher resolution. Oh dear, it looks so cool. Where's that time machine...

New LOTR Easily Available Online, But
Still Had Great Opening 12/22/2003 12:43 PM
At what point does the movie industry realize that maybe (just maybe) the world doesn't work the way they think it works? I don't know how many folks went to the movies this weekend, but I went Saturday night and there were huge lines of folks to see the final chapter in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy: "The Return of the King". All showings were easily sold out. In fact, it looks as though it's setting records for how much money it took in over its first five days. At the same time, though, the industry is complaining that the movie is available online. It appears that the industry has some blinders on to reality: people want to see these movies in the theater. They're selling out a record number of showings and bringing in a stunning amount of money. If the industry's fears were true, then everyone would just be sitting at home downloading the movie, which is clearly available. Instead, people want to see it at the theater. Going to the movies is a social experience. You go with friends, and watch it on a big screen with a great sound system and lots of others in the audience to enjoy the overall experience. If the industry is really worried about downloads, they should focus on making the movie-going experience even more enjoyable - and not just worry about where the content is available.

LotR movies remixed as trenchant Russian

Dmitri Puchkov is a Russian ex-cop who goes by the alias Goblin. "Goblin" is his nom-de-edit when he's remixing Lord of the Rings, dubbing in Russian dialogue to lampoon cops, oligarchs, and gangsters. He's working on a re-cut of Star Wars now. (This is old news, but I only just read about it)

Frodo Baggins is renamed Frodo Sumkin (a derivative from the Russian word sumka, or bag). The Ranger, Aragorn, is called Agronom (Russian for farm worker). Legolas is renamed Logovaz, after a Russian car company famed for its Ladas. Boromir becomes Baralgin, after a Russian type of paracetemol.

Gandalf spends much of the film trying to impress others with his in-depth knowledge of Karl Marx, and Frodo is cursed with the filthy tongue of a Russian criminal.

The films - which Puchkov says were originally made for his close friends but have now gone out on the internet - have found cult appeal in Russia's crowded pirate market, where a pirated, high-quality DVD in both Russian and English costs £5. That is all ordinary Russians, who earn only $300 a month in Moscow, can afford. The Russian pirate industry is worth $311 million, and has grown by 25 per cent since last year, pirates making more than 40 million disks a year.
