Peter looks like he's been locked in Stephen's basement, forced to only talk about LotR

@YourGlenn

3y↑495

"Peter had grown accustomed to Stephen bringing in bits and pieces of paper during their little 'talks'. Over the years it had become clear to him that Stephen kept detailed notes on all their encounters. This past year however — had it really been a year already? Peter found it increasingly difficult to tell the passage of time in his darkened room — this past year, Stephen's visits had become increasingly rare.

A faint glimmer of hope began to rise within Peter's heart. They had made a pact that he would be set free if all of Stephen's questions had been answered, if he had shared with him all that he knew about the Fellowship and their quest. Could it really be that his imprisonment was coming to an end?

When Stephen next appeared, and asked if he could ask one more thing, Peter felt in his heart that he was saved. He graciously and enthusiastically agreed. But then, as if appearing out of thin air there it was. Peter knew not its contents, but the sight of the Black Binder filled him with a sense of dread and despair. He instantly understood then and there, that all hope was forever lost..."

@@Ruintheus There's several competitors to Massive now, like Golaem for example, I'm assuming GoT used one of those if not Massive itself.

Also Peter kind of embellishes what Massive does a little bit. It's true that you don't know how a fight will play out exactly but it's not a super advanced AI or anything. It allows you to set formations and basic directions and parameters. They motion capture a bunch of people pretending to be orcs or elves or whatever so they have a pool of matched combat animations, and they randomly select animations to play based on their parameters. While there is some extra 'traits' you can add it's mostly just things like their chance of a 'finishing blow' animation playing. So if you want a small army to beat a large one you can bump up the kill chance for the small army and do the opposite for the large one.

This isn't downplaying the software by the way, it was amazing technology for the time, and it's still updated to this day with new features and such

@henryviii2091

3y↑122

@@brianmayabella5992 The Elves of Lorien are not high elves, the actual high elves are the Noldorin, out of which as far as I know by the time of LOTR, the only ones still in Middle Earth are Galadriel and Glorfindel, but the common people of Lorien are mostly wood elves mixed with Sindar elves, which are inferior to the Noldorin, but superior to the wood elves. Even Celeborn, Galadriel's husband is not a high elf, he is Sindar, like Thranduil and Legolas. So the elves of Lorien and the elves of Mirkwood are not that different except the fact that Lorien is kinda superior, being ruled by Galadriel which not only is a high elf, but she also has one of the rings of power, which made the kingdom so beautiful, plus the elves are mixed with Sindar, but still not high elves. And about high elves being magic user specialists as you call them, this is also kinda wrong especially when talking about warfare, because magic in Tolkien's universe is something quite complicated to explain and not very well defined, but it's not like shooting fire balls and thunder strikes, so forget the World of Warcraft mage type of elves, or the Harry Potter type of magic. Even if some Elves would use magic, they would still fight with swords and bows because most magic that the high elves came around was in terms of magical objects such as the Rings, the mirror of Galadriel, the Silmarills, Lembas bread, etc. But even these were mainly done by the high Elves under the guidance of the Valar, which are godly beings. The best way of describing Elven magic is probably ''art'', some divine form of art, but still.

Stephen was calm, cool, and collected when he interviewed a former U.S. president.

Interviewing Peter Jackson, he's disorganized and disheveled, and his questions are poorly phrased. This is who makes him nervous.

I love his passion and enthusiasm as a fan for LOTR and Tolkien's other works.
I really believe that people finding things that they're passionate about in life is what helps make life worth living and what helps give life meaning(if that makes any sense).

When Stephen asks about his favourite scene Sir Peter gives him a sly compliment which is also a massive burn on everyone that Stephen was too smart to ask his favourite LOTR movie.

How intently Stephen is listening and something about his eyes when Peter Jackson is deep into talking about the Smeagol/Gollum scene, you can tell how big of a fan he is.

I have so many scenes that could be my favorite, but earlier today I heard the song of Pippin again, and I think at the moment, that is my favorite scene. It's a really simple and emotional. Gets me every time.

Even ignoring the Denethor/Faramir context that frames it, that scene is so great for Pippin's perspective alone
His song is good enough for any royal court

One of the biggest differences between Peter Jackson’s LOTR and Prime’s version is that you can see the foundation Peter had in horror films. The movies are actually kinda scary at points and also gruesome. It plays to the setting so well whereas prime doesn’t have that edge so it comes off as a lighter, less daunting world.

I was privileged to spend time with Peter Jackson one day in 1992 including watching his film Dead Alive (Brain Dead) with him at a film festival.
He then hired a friend of mine, also present, to portray young Orson Welles in Heavenly Creatures.
Seems like his character has not changed and that's a very good thing.
Only briefly met Fran.
