That image isn't very faithful to what happened either. Glaurung was MUCH bigger than that.

You might want to try sleeping pills instead.

cool?

No he wasn't. Nargothrond wasn't particularly big and he was able to enter.

>Silmarillion
>Game
Nigga that's a bloody history anthology. It would make a shit game unless you picked one chunk of lore and used it as a setting.

>ywn play as Fingolfin fighting Morgoth and wounding him eternally
ITS NOT FAIR

Forgive me bro, I was thinking of Ancalagon

This.

At best you could make a nice Total War mod of it, in the days of Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

I think there is actually one.

>Then in the plain of Anfauglith, on the fourth day of the war, there began Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Unnumbered Tears, for no song or tale can contain all its grief

>ywn be Feanor soloing 9 Balrogs

>there will never be a Silmarillion movie trilogy directed by Peter Jackson

thank god

Which Jackson? LotR Jackson or Hackbit: Unexpected Disappointment Jackson?

>Hackbit: Unexpected Disappointment Jackson
If you watch the behind the scenes of it, you may begin to feel sorry for Jackson.

He was giving fuck all time to make the Hobbit hence why the CGI and generally were so shite

>Beren stood beside Thingol, and suddenly they were aware that Huan had left their side. Then a great baying
awoke in the thicket; for Huan becoming impatient and desiring to look upon this wolf had gone in alone to dislodge him. But Carcharoth avoided him, and bursting form the thorns leaped suddenly upon Thingol. Swiftly Beren strode before him with a spear, but Carcharoth swept it aside and felled him, biting at his breast.

>In that moment Huan leaped from the thicket upon the back of the Wolf, and they fell together fighting bitterly; and no battle of wolf and hound has been like to it, for in the baying of Huan was heard the voice of the horns of Oromë and the wrath of the Valar, but in the howls of Carcharoth was the hate of Morgoth and malice crueller than teeth of steel; and the rocks were rent by their clamour and fell from on high and choked the falls of Esgalduin. There they fought to the death; but Thingol gave no heed, for he knelt by Beren, seeing that he was sorely hurt. Huan in that hour slew Carcharoth; but there in the woven woods of Doriath his own doom long spoken was fulfilled, and he was wounded mortally, and the venom of Morgoth entered into him. Then he came, and falling beside Beren spoke for the third time with words; and he bade Beren farewell before he died. Beren spoke not, but laid his hand upon the head of the hound, and so they parted.

Inb4 Braindead Jackson.

Time constraints? Damn. How did LotR movies even happen? The preproduction alone took like a year, didn't it? How did they manage to convince the studio to give them so much money and time?

I don't feel sorry for him at all. He could have said no instead of making that shitfest which is an absolute disgrace to Tolkien. I sincerely hope that he'll never get his greedy hands on the Silmarillion.

It took around 3 years for pre-production I think. The movies happened because Hollywood had so much spare money back that they were able to pump it into the movie and give them time. LOTR is so unique in that way. It was made in the perfect time.

Yeah. I don't like every single liberty they took with the book - I read them before the movies, but I still appreciate the movies for what they are. If anything, Hobbit movies made me appreciate LotR more.

IIRC He didn't even wanted to make the film but after Del Toro dropped out, the studio pressured Jackson into doing it.

>Oh my god my life is so bad, I have to get paid only millions of dollars to make faces and say words while someone films
>FUCK THESE GREEN WALLS I DON'T LIKE THEM

Meanwhile I lift bricks for a living.

Meanwhile, some kids in Africa are dying of hunger.

>tfw comfy lotr threads have spread to Sup Forums

>strict time schedule
>still manages to dump in a lot of unnecessary and disgraceful bullshit

Nah, he just realized that he fucked up, and wants to make excuses.

...where the fuck have you been? because jackson already said that he's planning on making 3 trilogies based on the silmarillion

...

Are you for fucking real?

...

If you have never acted in those situations you don't know how hard that would be.

go lift soem bricks then faggot

LEEFT

SUM

BREECKS

SOURCE NOW

>Acting is hard

HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAAAAAAA

HOLY SHIT

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA

You must be 18 or older to post here.

>Which Jackson? LotR Jackson or Hackbit: Unexpected Disappointment Jackson?
They're one and the same.

The LotR movies are just as shitty as the Hobbit movies, you just aren't an impressionable youth anymore.

>Implying acting is not hard
Thats why everyone is so good at it all the time. Go be a capeshit slurping brick lifting faggot somewhere else you plebeian subhuman dog while the adults talk about kino.

That ass though.

Bait harder

This is bait.

>The LotR movies are just as shitty as the Hobbit movies

kys

It's seems like you are angry about me because of my job. Or do you actually like that faggot Ian McKellen.

Having a fucking sook over having to act in a greenscreen is pathetic.

>Thats why everyone is so good at it all the time.

Bad acting is almost always the directors fault. Actors are essentially fucking puppets. It's the most piss easy job in the world.

I'm 24, now why haven't you killed yourself yet.

>24 year old professional brick layer

i bet youre drowning in pussy

>layer

whoops, i meant lifter
professional brick lifter
i bet your parents are proud

Do you think I was boasting or something? I fucking hate my job. I fucking hate every single other person who works in the trades. I fucking hate it all. It's the most pleb shit work for the dumbest fucking people. I don't even want to do my job but I had to do it to get money to live.

I was making a point that this fucking faggot Ian McKellen can have a sook because of the wall color when he's payed millions of dollars to essentially role play and play dress ups. When your average guy would kill to get a job like that. God I'd love to get paid even my current wage if it meant all I had to do was act in front of a greenscreen.

Why are you so angry and negative towards me?

I'm an unrelated third party.

You're oversimplifying acting.

Sorry for your life.

>for the dumbest people
well there IS a reason you work there you unbearable faggot.if you don't like your job do something about it.

I don't know why people think you're baiting.

He was crying over the general situation of cinematography, not his job, you moron.

>Everyone who's underemployed must be retarded

No the economy is just shit. I tried my best in school, didn't drop out, went to uni, still no jobs. Fucking job search agency forced me to go to a training course for trades, a guy there offered me a job, if I rejected I would have got my neetbux cut off.

I hear tons of fags hate their burger flipper jobs too though so at least I am not dealing with customers.

>but he lift da brick he must be le normie

Fuck you. And fuck you for turning this into a blog post thread. Fucking just wanted to make a point about actors being massive whiners about the smallest things.

What was wrong with the cinematography and why would that bring him to tears?

>What was wrong with the cinematography
Have you actually watched the movies and seen that awful CGI literally everywhere?

GOOD. Fuck Jackson, he's lost his way.
I want Silmarillion movies as much as the next cunt, but the directing gig needs to go to someone else.

I watched the first Hobbit film, and thought it was terrible and didn't compare to the book at all. Didn't bother with the rest. I've seen webm's of garbage quality CGI though in the sequels. But that was at the beginning of the Hobbit part 1 though right, I don't know what order they filmed it in but he wouldn't have known about the films being CGi shitfests as a whole at that point yet right? I thought his problem in that scene was he didn't have other actors to react off and had to do it all alone.

Thats not cinematography you mongoloid. The CGI has aged well enough for a film made in 2001.
Fucking millennials like you are why films are full of capeshit.

>being this salty a more talented person than you earns more

Kek'd heartedly. I will continue laughing from my ivory tower, looking down upon your pathetic life.

>I hate muh job but the economy
>wah wah

Jesus you're pathetic.

yeah nah there's plenty of jobs out there, you just aren't good enough for them to want to hire you or you aren't even applying which is your own god damn fault. I was in your shoes working a dead end job I fucking hated so I decided to fuck caution and try my damndest at selling cars. a year later here I am knowing from experience that if you scratch and claw your way through you can get something better than what you have now. stop fucking crying and do something about it you cry baby faggot.

No he wasn't. He had almost personal breakdown because he is a good actor who cares about his craft tasked with attempting to work in a soul-crushing environment for hours upon hours. He wasn't even able to draw from the emotion of others actors for his performance, all the other actors were placeholders. He wasn't necessarily saddened with the use of CGI.

Well the fact that Bag End was a green screen abomination instead of an actual place filled with greatly detailed items like in LOTR, was probably enough for him to realize that Jackson's gonna fuck it up badly.
I was talking about the Hobbit movies, you dyslexic fuckface.

>I was talking about the Hobbit movies, you dyslexic fuckface.
Whoops. Sorry about that.

>yeah nah there's plenty of jobs out there

I'm not American. I'm Aussie. Our economy is housing and mining. Any job in IT, tech, or any other university level field is absolutely packed and highly competitive, they select the top few from each graduation class, and then get 357 working visa chinks and poo in loo's to do the rest for cheap.

That leaves 3 economies left. Service industry, mining industry (which is heavily stagnating and decreasing due to China no longer buying our iron ore) and housing (we build houses for Chinese immigrants basically since they keep coming here).

We aren't America with a large manufacturing industry (we have almost none), we don't have the venture capitalism to fund small startups, we have no science and research jobs (CSIRO was shut down), red tape and huge taxes make it real hard to start a small business (I am saving to do this though regardless, small business is the way to go for sure to get anywhere), anything outside of the city areas is fucked since there is no infrastructure, huge farms the size of US states are literally running on no internet and have to drive to nearby towns to send emails, this commonly causes massive shipping delays causing loss of profits. Yet property prices in the city and suburbs is third highest in the world being Hong Kong and Vancouver because of zoning fuckery since the economy is tied to housing and they are artificially making things scarce. So trying to start up a business there you are fucked because property rent and taxes will bankrupt you. Basically our economy is fucking limited as fuck. A huge percentage of our uni graduates move overseas causing us to have a brain drain, something only third world nations have. Yet our limited economy causes us to have one too.

Fucking wish I was American. I'd have it easy.

What else do you expect from a literal, LITERAL prison colony? Go back to mining those rocks like a good convict.

you know what user, I partially take it back, I've heard it's pretty shit, people here in america who complain about their jobs have no excuse because you can literally risk it all to win it all if you are willing to work hard enough. Honestly you should probably just keep working towards leaving that shithole.

is there any video game character that can defeat him?

reminder

>faithful to the source material

The protagonist of Silmarillion is Melkor/Morgoth. Prove me wrong.
>Under my foot,
>So hopeless it seems,
>You've troubled my day,
>Now feel the pain.

What the hell? It looked better on the big screen, I swear. Damn, it really didn't age well.

Oh I am, I had serious plans to move to France recently that I'd been saving for for 4 years but with all those migrants and terrorist attacks I'm having second thoughts. USA green card is hard to get through apparently, gonna aim for it. Still might just start my business here, my brothers still in uni, once he finished we might pool our resources and start a business together if he doesn't get anything in his field.

But sorry for blogposting again, we should be talking about LotR and Hobbit.

This is what I thought. He didn't have any other actors for reference to act and react off. I know it's harder for them to do it all alone.

I always liked seeing these PS2 tier looking animatics. I remember watching all the ones on the Star Wars prequel DVD's back when I was a kid.

They look less uncanny valley here though since all the unnatural movement goes well with the PS2 graphics. When you see it all touched up it just looks "fake" as compared to this where you know it's fake and treat it as just some amusing animation.

...

Yeah instead we get 500 other tolkien-shit games every year. Oh it's not fair.

THATS BECAUSE ITS A HISTORY BOOK NOT A FUCKIN STORY

it paints in really broad strokes. You can't do that in a video game

>there will never be a Silmarillion game that would be faithful to the source material
First we need movies and games that are faithful to The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

I'd just like to point out that the generic fantasy art that is commonly tied to Tolkiens work is also not accurate to the original creators vision. And the games and movies we get are a derivative of that art.

then what is truly tolkien's vision

You'll have to read his memoirs for that. But basically, I don't think we'll ever be able to tell. If you really want to get technical, his vision wasn't even fully realized as books. He rewrote huge portions of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings because publishers wouldn't except his original version. Which was like the Silmarillion, a unorginized collection of small stories and thoughts.

...

LITERALLY UNBEATABLE

How about you do the same thing young working men have been doing for the entirety of human history and fucking move somewhere where there's more money for you to potentially get?
