"It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." ~Oscar Wilde
The Hobbit is getting a re-start in super high definition, expect to see all those precious moments on the screen real up-close and personal. It's also in 3D or 4D or some such nonsense. I take this as a sign of the times, cameras and projections are better now than they've ever been and ought to continue to sharpen up and bring the audience into the film more and more until we see full blown immersion theater where the show-goer is neurologically transferred into the film. Someday soon I hope to be able to enter a film and engage in light saber duels with the main character and sex the heroine up after she wins the big battle. After all, who wouldn't want to jump in their favorite film and pilot the x-wing or feel the fire of the dragon under the mountain? It's human nature and the natural progression of film.
Along the same vein, The Great Gatsby by the illustrious F. Scott Fitzgerald, is getting a re-boot in 3D and I'm having a hard time trying to hide my erection because I'm so excited. How often does this movie get re-made? Once in a generation, maybe twice if we're lucky, Lifetime will pick up a made for TV version, but the bottom line is that this type of movie should be re-made much more often. It's a classic, unequivocally American and impossible to miss whenever it's on. With Leo Dicaprio playing the title character, Jay Gatsby, I can't imagine a loser in this scenario. Everyone wins with Leo as Jay Gatsby. Also, the Avengers is coming out May 4th.
