Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

In your opinion, it was. I have you two well outnumbered by the people who like it. I DID provide significant details and I did discuss the form in great detail. I care not that they weren't the details you were looking for. I am not adding in things like "in this wide shot the camera's angled ...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

Like hell I'm going to describe what cuts, camera angles, and lighting were used! There is nothing to talk about, hardly. The direction, from a technical stand point, was adequate in that it was pointed at the right things at the right times, but there is nothing special to talk about at any point! ...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

I did that, too. And you accuse me of not paying attention? And my descriptions WERE accurate. The actual description I used for the Balrog in the paper was accurate. I just used the loose description here as a short example. Get off my -Fatal Hopper- case, already! If you didn't actually read my re...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

I described that the animation looked like at several different times in the recap, itself. I only used shorter descriptions when talking to Sonic, because I didn't want to go into great detail. The hobbits in the movie looked like badly animated lawn gnomes. The Balrog looked like a man in a bad co...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

My links to statements made by a number of animation historians and animators is evidence. So is my link to the animation history page on Wikipedia. I could open any book that purports to represent the history of animation, and Bakshi would likely be there. I've consulted contemporary reviews and o...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

That is your opinion. No, it's fact. Look at the movie, and then look at the book. I very plainly explained how this film butchered the material. It's not a descriptive opinion, in the sense that it doesn't describe the film. It perfectly describes the film. It's not a fair recap of the film. If ot...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

I am not blinded to what Bakshi's film did. It butchered the material it was supposed to be adapting. Take the scene at Bad-End's fireplace, for instance. Gandalf tosses the ring into the fire and then takes it back out (with his bare hands, I will add) and gives it back to Frodo. And what comes of ...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

That's right, your critique is an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. And no, nothing in this film is visually impressive. I will stand by that stance beyond the end of time. Blah blah blah, I got a few things wrong. Big deal. Oh, and I did get most of the facts right. Excuse me for not being perfe...

Sweet Home, the mommy of the Survival Horror genre. I kept hearing about how every modern horror game owes its thanks to Sweet Home, and by damn, I am seeing how right those claims are.

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

Well, that's your opinion on my recap. And Bakshi's career can stay in the hellhole it's landed in for all I care. These aren't just "perceived" inconsistences, THEY ARE INCONSISTENCIES. I described the film efficiently enough. There are NO good things to be said about this film. No, the t...

Re: Recap of Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings

The Game Attempts-Part Two: We being our next scene with Frodo waking up in a bed in Rivendell. Gandalf is sitting by his bedside, as per the books and other adaptations, but here, it comes off as really creepy. It's almost as if Gandalf were looming over Frodo as he has a nightmare. Finally, Frodo...

Re: lol Plaza Capcom??

Sorry. I don't hate Japan or the Japanese people, but things like this just set me off something fierce.

Of course, I'm also a guy who thinks that cops should be given the go-ahead to brutally beat sexual predators.
