Is it telepathic?

I haven't seen the movie, but... [In reply to] Can't Post

I know there was an interview with Peter Jackson where he said they tried the telepathic approach, but it didn't work. So he pretty much confirmed that his mouth will move with the words. Not sure where the interview was, but I'm sure someone on here will know.

"Seriously, why was the scene with CGI dwarf ass NOT in the theatrical cut?!"

Let's call it mouth-sync, shall we? [In reply to] Can't Post

Dragon's with lips... blah.
To me they are like crocodiles, no lips at all. Nice and scary.
A dragon with lips, I don't know, what for? Big kisses?
I haven't read the reviews, but didn't anybody describe how they handled it?

No one describing it sounds like a good thing [In reply to] Can't Post

If none of the reviewers wrote about it, then it probably wasn't jaring, meaning that it was handled well.
(I haven't been reading reviews either)


..The land of long-forgotten name:
......no man may ever anchor near;
..No steering star his hope may aim,
......for nether Night its marches drear,
..And waters wide no sail may tame,
......with shores encircled dark and sheer.

..O! Haven where my heart would be!
......the waves beat upon thy bar
..For ever echo endlessly,
......when longing leads thy thought afar

He talks like the babies in those e-trade commercials. [In reply to] Can't Post

What's more scary than that?
