[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Rev, I know what you typed. I was just saying, biological or step, the line between second and third degrees of relatedness has been the cutoff more often than between third and fourth. And your attitude just drives home how ingrained it is in Western European culture and its descendents. :p *ahem* The Bakshi "animated" LotR just freaked me the hell out. I've tried to watch it a couple different times, and it just leaves me cold each time. That is not what I'm being nostalgic over. The Rankin/Bass animated Hobbit and Return of the King offerings were higher quality, allowing for their distinctive art style. The songs were hit-or-miss (I'm not a huge fan of "The Greatest Adventure" or "The Road Goes Ever On", but I love most of the rest), but the score I love. But the aspect that resonates the most with me even now were the vocal performances. They had some pretty darn good actors, with pretty darn distinctive voices. And that's what I'm hoping they try to capture -- not the exact performances, but the sense of the characters. Thorin, Smaug... Andy Serkis captured a lot of the same essence of Gollum from these films. *shrug* I recommend renting those two just to see what I'm talking about. They're rather childish in their delivery, but you should see what I mean. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
