Edit: Nevermind, they fixed it quick. Looks like great weather.

SCULLIBUNDO · Nov 28, 2012

It's just people walking down a red carpet.

maquiladora · Nov 28, 2012

Have a feeling PETA will pull a protest stunt on the red carpet.

-griffy- · Nov 28, 2012

They're really botching the audio on this feed, it's like they aren't sure what source to use. And they've fixed it for the moment.

Yeah, it was all over the place for a while there. Sounding a lot better at the moment.

I don't think they even exist here. We have the SPCA and they are much nicer (and more moderate).

Doubt it. With thousands of fans there, security would be tighter than Bilbo's asshole.

Now there is a dude singing in front of a hobbit house ....

3 News livestream, its different to the other one.

Oh god it's Neil Finn, just skip this bit.

Crowded House had some great songs, I like Neil Finn.

BurnOutBrighter · Nov 28, 2012

Neil Finn is a good fit for this. It could have been something awful like The Feelers.

lastplayed · Nov 28, 2012

Yeah but I was kinda over Crowded House by the 90s. Don't we have any recent artists?

I'm surprised Dave Dobbyn hasn't turned up yet.

RadioactiveLobster · Nov 28, 2012

So I called my local theater in the (very small) hope they might be showing it at 48 FPS. Its not a large area and I doubt they would be but they were one of the first theaters to get digital projectors (even though we are kinda rural, compared at least to big cities) and it might happen.

The manager apparently had no clue a 48 FPS version existed. Things arn't looking good and it's a 2 and half our drive to the nearest theater I know for sure is showing 48 FPS.

I think it'll be worth it.

Damn! Yeah where's Dave Dobbyn!

That red carpet is loooooooooooong.

It would be worth it but I can't afford to take a day off work to drive to Pittsburgh to see a movie and then drive back, as much as I want to.

Fuck that. Guy's a songwriting genius.

Someone is seriously trying to drag Neil fucking Finn?

Ether_Snake · Nov 28, 2012

So the movie has a more "fantasy" look to illustrate that LoTR 1/2/3 are set in the end of the fourth age, where magical things "leave" the world?

Looking at the stills, and how fantasy-ish and CG the backdrops look, I hope we won't fall in SW Prequels territory in terms of shooting.

maquiladora · Nov 28, 2012

lol...dat time filling.

PushTheButtonMax · Nov 28, 2012

SHIT!

I just started the stream as Neil Finn was bowing after playing. Someone post a link to that performance later if it pops up. Damn that makes me mad.

This "magic" that controls color saturation must also explain why modern video games have lost their magic.

Where's Johnkey?

Damn. For comparison, here's Katie Jackson as a hobbit in lord of the rings

So glad James Nesbitt is rating our education system. How much is Johnkey paying him.

lazybones18 · Nov 28, 2012

Great beard Weaving

And the TV spot they just showed in the stream, did it look 48fps to you?

krypt0nian · Nov 28, 2012

Awesome beard, Mitzi!

I was wondering if this was the case or if I was just imagining things.

RadioactiveLobster · Nov 28, 2012

I wonder if the flash player for the stream is even capable of 48 FPS.

I also recall reading somewhere that none of the promo stuff would be 48 FPS footage

-griffy- · Nov 28, 2012

Thank goodness that mic has been slowly dying for the last 5 minutes.

kingocfs · Nov 28, 2012

This cast is made up with the nicest actors in the world.

maquiladora · Nov 28, 2012

Nice aerial shot of the hobbit plane.

NZNova · Nov 28, 2012

GarthVaderUK · Nov 28, 2012

Sylvester McCoy will always be my Doctor Who <3

BurnOutBrighter · Nov 28, 2012

Carolyn Robinson looks fantastic

maquiladora · Nov 28, 2012

Was that John Key signing autographs? lol

RadioactiveLobster · Nov 28, 2012

Looking at this guys wife, he has experience motorboating. That Yak will be thankful.

This post will really be weird for those who don't know the context.

Kud Dukan · Nov 28, 2012

Saw James Cameron walking the carpet as well. Didn't know he would be there.

BurnOutBrighter · Nov 28, 2012

Cate Blanchett on site. Gosh. So tall.
