LoL. Legless Lego Legolas!

With just a week remaining before the official premiere of The Hobbit part 1, news and hints of the movie are flooding the global info-sphere like a horde of Orcs. Now that we know the movie will be stuffed with spectacular battles and elf-on-dwarf love (Kate from Lost playing an elvish warrior princess, WTF?), the latest addition to this awesome hype is Colbert's series of interviews with actors from The Hobbit, which has spanned the whole week: first Gandalf ("You! Shall!... Pass!"), then Bilbo himself ("Here's a Lego Legolas. A leg-less Lego Legolas."), and then monkey Caesar... er, I mean Gollum, etc etc etc. Also, where the Orodruin Hell did Colbert get the Sting from!?

The map at the beginning of this week's Colbert Report is hilarious btw:



"Hipster's Deep"? ROFL!

I loved this bit the most:



And yes, there IS a legless Lego Legolas!



Btw what's all this debate on the 48 frames per second thing? Why do some people seem to hate it so much?

So really, tv evolves and movies stay one step behind. Brilliant :)

No, it's the other way around. TVs are catching up to motion picture film. Film negatives have much more detail than any TV set could output, even with the planed HDTVs. Frame rate has nothing to do with that ;)

Are any movies shot on film anymore?

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Most of them still are, and even if they aren't, those movies are shot at rates much much higher than anything done in broadcast TV production.
