Yoda, Gollum Take MTV Awards
zoobaby writes "MTV has given the LoTR franchise credit for spectactular work with Gollum. After being snubbed by the Academy Awards, it is nice to see recognition given to one of the most expressive and best acted roles in recent films."
It's myy precioussss, it is... Nasty Yoda can't haves it, Noooo....
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
Some of us might have actually enjoyed watching the goddamn awards without knowing who wins beforehand. The show isnt even aired til June 5th. Once again Slashdot Editors, thank you for spoiling another (Circle one: TV Show, Movie, Game Ending).
Eminem got awarded for best male role and said: "I can't believe I beat Mariah for 'Glitter'".
While I can't believe it either it still puzzles me.
Of course it runs NetBSD. BTC: 1NT7QvbetmANwaMzhpVL6
First the Aimee Deep Story and now this MTV story...if this turns into a Teeny Bopper website, I am so out of here...
they should just have cast Christopher Walken as gollum.
. . .then the emereror has already won.
You are not the customer.
My presssssshious ssssslashdot thwarted my tv watching ssssssschedule, they did.
(ok, was that a good merging of the two?)
I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man,
I'm just a mortal with potential of a super man.
i wonder how protective gollum would be of his new precious.
bananas like monkeys.
He didn't expect it? Boy, that rendering farm and the voice actors sure must work in a hurry to produce a rendered imagine complete with voice acting in such a hurry! You'd almost think this is a huge show, a spectacle aimed at enriching those with the largest marketing/SFX budget! Almost like the gollum thing further on in the article:
Come on people, we're talking about the MTV awards here, brought to us by MTV; the epitomy of modern pop and hype culture. We're talking about something hosted by a TV station aimed at 14 year old girls who faint at the sight of $current_hip_boyband and wish to be like $cheap_spicegirls_knock_off while flooding the rest of the market with artists like $random_teen_chick and $overhyped_guy_who_looks_gay ...
Hate me!
Look at all the pointless first posts, this submission must have attracted the MTV crowd. I played right into it. Shit.
*runs*
Well take this!
Vader is Lukes father
Soilent Green is people
XXX Sucks
And the third LOTR and the third Matrix are actually the same movie!

o The butler did it.
:(
:P
oo Everybody dies at the end.
oo He leaves her/she leaves him (but they get back together)
o He's/she's NOT REALLY DEAD and will come back to life.
oo There will be a chase scene. Perhaps more than one.
oo There WILL BE a fight of some kind.
oo There's a built-in sequel - they even do it just for the money sometimes, and to Hell with the plot.
o TLG are DEAD. Get over it.
o SW Episode III will probably suck too. So will Hulk.
o Gollum dies.
o Your popcorn has been pissed in, and you probably deserve your money back.

befriend me if you support free speach
No can do. I prefer to support free speech.
Come on guys, MTV.COM could use a good slashdotting.
If you look Neo for example, he was basically cg the whole movie anyways.
...
Well duh, Keanu Reeves is a CG actor. I mean it's pretty obvious, the lack of facial expressions and the fact that it looks like there's something fundamentaly wrong any time he's on the screen. He was basically a very early attempt at a fully CG character, I mean even Toy Story has more human seeming characters. Also if you conside...
huh...
WTF do you mean he's real?!?
Ahhh he a robot like R2D2 and C3P0!!
Ohh a human being I see...
Yeah! And wrestling is a real sport and and Linux copied SCO's code, riiight
*snicker*
I stole this Sig
The Hulk is a good example, as well, of movement being "too smooth." In the trailer, the CGI Hulk looks like a giant green animated Jell-o mold.
What?
