Yay for Commentary!

Watching the commentary of Lord of the Rings has its advantages and disadvantages. There is much more background information and a bunch of interesting knowledge that they talk about. Although we don't get to actually WATCH the movie with full audio, they still show the movie scenes, and talk about what they were going for and what happened during the scene, as well as how they shot it, and what is special effects and what isn't. To produce the small image of the hobbits to normal people, they mostly filmed two background images together, making the hobbits look smaller than normal, and the normal people looking larger than they actually are. They also filmed a few fight scenes using CG and stuntmen, and they told us all about how it happened. Watching the commentary really makes me want to watch the real movie. :]

Rocky Paper Scissors

This short film was one of the cheesiest and dorky films I have ever seen. They play a parody of Rocky, where the main character is a washed-up RPS (rock, paper, scissors) player, who used to be the best. A guy finds him 'throwing', and tells him he can teach him to be the best. They practice and train, alongside audio of Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. It's a cheesy training, along with some comical scenes. After their long and hard training, the main character is ready to face 'TJ', the best RPS player in the world. The trainer says no, but he goes anyway. Showing up on the gazebo in Lawrence, KS, they stand face to face and 'throw down'. TJ is defeated, and the main character is now the best in the world.
