I hate those Tom Ford suits on Bond. They're cut too tight and make him look like a bouncer. Oh and that trademark floating coat collar thing that Ford does really sucks, hardly surprising since they ditched proper London tailoring for a mere [i]brand[/i]. Much better is Fiennes' Savile Row job from Anderson & Sheppard. Now that's how a trouser is supposed to fit.<br />

Mate, Fiennes' suit was awful without the jacket. It looked like something Katherine Hepburn would wear. -

True (more books than movies though) ... I still feel guilty though <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />. In saying that I hope it does well, Wellington seems to being getting into the spirit of things. -

I'm hesitant as well, and I am a fantasy fan. Mainly because I'm worried about why he's turned one book into two, then three films. And these will be loooooong films. <br />

The first one is 3 hours? <br />
<br />
They coulda made another LOTR movie really with what was left out, I am keen to see this, more so as TR Jnr is too. -

Local pub manager told me the new Bond villain had been a bit of a nuisance in the boozer the other night.<br />
<br />
"Javier Bardem?" I said.<br />
<br />
"Nah, he apologised right away so he can come in any time he likes."<br />

End Of Watch<br />
<br />
Entertaining but a bit silly really cop drama. There are some really good moments but as the two main characters progress through the movie they seem to hit it rich every time they turn on there siren which destroys any sense of authenticity.<br />
<br />
Still worth the watch for a steady cam film. 7/10 -

THat is the one with Jack Black right, based on a 'true story'? While he was briliant in it, I am still not sure if I enjoyed that one.. -

<br />
Yeah, that's the one. Most of the townsfolk in it were people from the real town. And yep, Black was very good in it. -

Im not sure how many of you have rewatched LOTR recently but they are bloated over long films. Still brilliant but so much fat could be trimmed. And that was for a series that actually required 3 separate films.<br />
<br />
We are told that the movie will not be completely finished until 48hrs out from the premiere. I assume theres not much more than a few editing touch ups, removing digital watches, and that has been played up for marketing reasons. But to me it sounds a lot like Sir Pete is fucking about too much. -
Looking forward to seeing Helen Kelly and that bitch from Outrageous Fortune appearing on the red carpet in Wellywood today to say no hard feelings...

I dont agree, IMO they missed alot from the books that adds to the story, they coulda made another movie, maybe shortened the 3 by 20 mins or so each and including them in other movies (still to include it all, but to reduce the length of each a little) while making a 4th movie.<br />
<br />
Overall, I enjoyed them, have the extended versions of each as well, havent managed to do a marathon single sitting of them all, but have watched them more than once. -
I always try to set aside a couple weekends a year and watch the extended series, easily one of the most enjoyable movie series to watch. <br />
Have high hopes the 3 Hobbit films will capture the same magic again
