Damage control: It is "loses"
What I love about Marvel is the characters are rarely one dimensional.
OK: And why do I care if we have an Asian-American character? The topic on the table was the Mandarin, half chinese, and half english.
Asian-American Wasp? That's a fairly major character.
When is this stuff going to revert to, I think, Disney/Marvel?
So far I've seen The Hobbit in 3D, IMAX 3D and un-enhanced 24fps. As usual, I'll say that the penalty of color fidelity is too high to justify the 3D experience, even if it is occasionally pretty neat. I'd like to see a 48fps showing but I don't feel like going in to Chicago for it. I was on the edge of my seat during the riddle contest, but I was disappointed at how cartoonish the Goblin King was.
Are all three the same (new) movie from this Friday? If so, are you a critic or have a website or some other reason to watch three times for comparison?
I just read all that and it sounds like some doofus is grasping at straws to justify his dislike of progress.

Your remarks hold zero credibility to this filmmaker and you are clearly grasping at straws. He is experienced in his field and knows his stuff. He has credibility to express an educated opinion on the mater. Dismissing it without any kind of reason is just a waste.
The author makes a rather large number of statements that are grounded in his personal opinion or his judgment of an audience's reaction. There are an awful lot of sentences in that piece that start with "I think..." or include utterly unquantifiable observations. If the author wanted to write a convincing piece about his antipathy toward high frame rate film making, it would behoove him to structure his argument in such a way that it sounds less like editorial bloviating. Presumably he was paid to write that piece and has been paid in the past to write other work that was also apparently fit for publication, but based on what I read I see no reason why I should give any credence to his opinions.
I'd have to visit the north side of Chicago to go to a 48fps screening. It's not really an option for me, timwhit.
It's an opinion article.
You are being more ridiculous than usual Merc. It is precisely his experience in the field that makes his opinion and intuition worth listening to when quantifiable tests do not exist.
I agree with the article for the most part but do not think the cause is as lost as the author. I have more comments about why I think a blurry picture can tell a story better and what will need to be done to transition but I need a better keyboard.
There is nothing meritorious about this person's qualitative statements. You say he's an expert. I say that if he is an expert, he should be able to provide more instructive analysis than statements couched in his opinion. I'm not arguing that there might be something wrong with 48fps filmmaking as it is presented in The Hobbit, I'm arguing that this person did a poor job making a case for his position and gave the reader no reason to lend it any credence.
I thought I Max had a high fame rate decades ago.
Convince me that this author is a so-called "doofus" and I'll drop this stupid arguing. Otherwise I'm calling you out on your warrant-less crap claims.
