[GavinG]

That is hilarious, was i ever not expecting to see Gollum give the finger when i woke up this morning

:buttrock:
Gav

[RobertoOrtiz]

That was hilarious!

I bet that was the fantasy speech that a lot of
diva like celebrities would love to give.

[brianellebracht]

Man that was great :)

[peachstapler]

:love: Apartment 307 loves Gollum. His voice is better in the German "Herr Der Ringe" though.

[Joril]

LOL

[eezie]

Ahahaha, yeah I saw this last night. Too funny, if you look carefully when they show the audiences responce you can see Ellija Wood mouth the words: "That was ****ing awsome"

great stuff! :buttrock:

[MattClary]

Man, poor bastard will never work again!

[CGmonkey]

That's AWESOME.. !! :)

[MikaelPersson]

Any chance of a mirror somewhere? Killing servers seems like a daily business for you guys.

[Matt]

Sorry, but personally I thought it was the worst thing I've ever seen on television.

http://www.cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif

The Yoda thing was awful as well. I can't believe we chose watching that awards show over renting a DVD... Seriously, as I sum the worst and most embarassing moments of my life, watching that show, especially in the Gollum part, was by far the worst choice of my entire life. I give up on cable TV... Time to try out HD-Digital, but I'll probably ditch it. I wish there was a way to order specific cable channels.

[Solesurvivor]

omfg , that was ****ing hilarious :scream:

gollum kicking serkis and Jackson ass, just brilliant:buttrock:

[ajouvenat]

Hahahaha that was great.

I thought the gollum thing was great.. but im in totaly agreance(sp) with that yoda thing.

I didn't appreciate that at all... kinda takes the "umph" away from his whole.. coolness? But yeah, Im mad they even wasted the time to do that shit. They might as well have had jarjar up there in black panther clothes too. Thats kinda when my attencion avderted back to my render.

[Matt]

Well just so people don't get mad, both CG things were the best part of the movie awards, other than seeing everyone's favorite lesbian pop duo tATu totally lip-sync parts of a song too high for Yulia's vocal range. This being said, that's like saying you're the best player on the worst team. See what I'm saying? Somehow, I think we'll all step closer to true wisdom itself if we turn off the MTV.

The highlight of the night: Balki Bartokamous.

[MaTaDoR]

Its like Elijah Wood said: "That was F***king Awesome"

[iratethemad]

I didnt see that i was watching the t.a.t.u show and recorded it and then watched it again and again and again and again and again and again and again.....

[Ronski]

any mirrors? Damn slow here.

[samartin]

LOL that was a great acceptance speech, now that's some serious attitude...

[hakkston]

hahahaha
really funny!
:buttrock:

[KolbyJukes]

OMG I LOVE IT! Funniest thing I've seen in a while. What was the Yoda one like.

lol.yeah t.a.t.u was hot. but the gollum thing was so f***king funny i have to watch it again.

[PolyMangler]

damn that was funny....now i'm kinda sad i didn't watch the mtv awards....well not really, but to see that part in high res would have had me rolling for hours.

anyone know where a higher res version is?

[roger]

That was GREAT!! :applause:
The best part....I did NOT watch the mtv show. ....watched it on the internet! :thumbsup:

I thought the whole show was great. I haven't laughed so much in awhile. :)

[chatta]

great :applause: :applause:

[TOE]

Friggin hilarious, Gollum was by far the best part of the awards, as for it being "the worst and most embarassing moments of your life"........I mean really.......... come on people, stop taking yourselves so seriously.

[halo]

Matt-your so wrong

sheep factory- theres something i FxxxING LIKE :D ;)

best thing i've seen all month

[swampthing]

I dunno, i made the mistake of watching the TATU clip on mtv.com and that's gotta rank up there in my top 10 things i wish i wouldn't have wasted 3 minutes of my life on.

The gollum thing rocked though.

[r2d3]

:applause: :applause: :applause:

For the first time we agree on something :beer:

[iBlue]

HAhaha, awesome! weta diserved to win by far!:applause:

[BryanSilva]

Man, I've been waiting to see that little bastard again. I'm glad to see that CG getting recognition on mtv. Just one more reminder that I'm trying to break into a field that KICKS ASS! Much respect to everyone who brought Gollum to life. He IS by far (imho) the best character I have seen done in cg to date.

[halo]

anyone got any fat mirrors about...the biggest version i have seen so far is 8mb :S

[ChadJay]

that was beautifull... the integration of motion capture and keyframing is flawless.

:beer:

[Gkaine]

im surprised they had time to make such a flawless acceptance speach. that was great.

i did think the yoda thing was a bit weak

[ga-analytics]

lol, very funny, especially the part with "shame on you, shame on you" a little allusion on the oscar....
Well but expensive, too, i think.

[digital_rhino]

Does anyone know who did the animations for the host superheros...I thought they were pretty good too.

But Gollum was Hilarious!

[azazel]

Gollum showing his middle finger , or saying "MTV sucks"... most funny thing I saw recently :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :)


btw, mtv really sucks ;) I totally agree with him ;)

[leigh]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

Damn that was funny :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Zeio]

That was great.

Matt, seriously, ease up man. Take the MTV awards for what it is.. It's supposed to be radically different from other awards shows and more entertaining, albeit over the top at times..

I don't even have cable tv, but you have to take almost anything on TV today with a grain of salt, most of it is a bunch of bs. Especially now with more than 1 company owning multiple stations and newspapers down here in LA, you have to filter 90% of it. Thanks FCC, monopolies are great.......


-Z

[The Cross]

I wonder how long it took for Weta Digital to mocap and tweak that peice. Assuming they recieved short notice on the award.

[kiaran]

Weta must have a pretty efficient workflow to be able to push out animation like this for an acceptance speech. I really liked this little clip but I hope they didn't take time out of the ROTK schedule to do this.

PS. Why did this thread turn into a discussion about local cable TV? I mean seriously people keep that stuff to yourselves, I was hoping to read some critiques on the animation, instead I wasting my time reading twenty posts about how MTV sucks and cable TV is the devil. Everyone knows that but this is a cg forum so lets analyze and critique. Just my two cents.:shrug:

[RiotManZ]

OH MY GOD!! I´m still laughing! This is the funniest thing i´ve seen for a long time!!!
Gollums says everything the other winners would like to say:
F**K You all, I won the price! Not any producer, director or Photographer or anyone else...!

This Weta guys simply ROCK!:buttrock: :buttrock: :twisted:

[WChestnutt]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Steveyola]

Very very funny,thanks for the link.:applause: :applause: :beer:

[CuTnPaste]

I'm not sure that This is a good idea....

... Gollum says a lot of dirty words.....


I dunno...the climaxes of the movie are "only" when Gollum says mof**** or something else.....bah



:shame:

:annoyed:

CuTnPaste

[xynaria]

ROFPML.. a star is trully born :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[AJ]

Firstly, that was fantastic!

I haven't laughed that much in such a short space of time in a long long while...

Although it gets bandied around a lot these days, that deserves the title of Genius!


And now I'll rise to the bait.... :scream:

[modi]

Anyone have a link to the Yoda speech besides the real player one???

[AmnesicElephant]

YES!!!! Thank you so much for posting that! I tuned in half way through Gollum's speach and I wanted to see the rest. God, that's so awsome!!!

[Stygian]

yeah wouldn't you know I go to pay the rent on the guinness and I come back to find my wife laughin' her butt off thanks so much for the link I was pissed I missed it .
:beer:

[JBoskma]

Dobby is a f*cking f*g. wahahahah SUPER!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Neil]

Would have been just as funny without the profanity.

and i didn't know that we needed to type in 30 pt fonts *cough

[onlooker]

That was great! he called Peter Jackson a F**king hack. :eek: That had me laughing hysterically. Those guy's at weta digital are my kind of people. :applause:

[sin]

hahhaha ..hehe ..cool ! golum is my new hero !:buttrock:

[robin]

doesnt this tells you that they tip off winning stars that they will win before everyone actually know ... a la American Idol

[aurora]

:applause:
What it tells me is that gollum has a drug/alcohol problem. LOL!!!

[manfriday]

I would have liked it alot better if Gollum had'nt been dropping the F-bomb every three seconds.
Not very appropriate, but then I'm a Tolkien worshiper and I cant help but feel like he woulda looked at that and been insulted.
As someone else said it could have been just as funny if he hadn't been flipping the bird and screaming the F-INGHEIMER every few sseconds.
I do agree wtih the sentiments regarding MTV though.

Is anyone here old enough to remember when they played music?

*sigh* the good old 80's.

[Matt]

Why am I pm'ed by lildragon for just saying how much I disliked the whole thing, as if I was flaming somebody, but then someone flames me directly and it's alright?

I forgive you, and I won't take your bait. Simply said, I didn't like the books, and I know of better books that would make better movies, so I'm biased. (And for good reasons.)

[TOE]

Jar jar is a more solid character than Gollum..........you must be thinking of some other Jar Jar and not the one that was insanely annoying. Just out of curiosity, what the hell would you consider good work (other than yours of course), or are you disappointed by everything that you see?

[manfriday]

is it my imagination or is Matt actualy advertising his IQ?

[Matt]

I see where this is going, so I'll put up a road block. Don't take anything I say as flames, ever. I honestly don't mean to insult people I don't even know, so let it be known that if I'm a bit harsh with words, it's not meant to hurt anyone or offend. Matter of fact, don't take anything anyone says on the internet seriously.

[eLm0]

i saw it the last night WAS CLASSIC if anyone has a full-screen link please post it i'm sure someone will host it.

[Antilles]

Awesome, you gotta give credit to weta for making such a great thing in such a short (presumably) time. Maybe someone gave a 'secret' call to weta:

weta guy: Hello?

mysterious caller: you dont know me, but it would be wise to start work on an mtv award acceptance speech involving Gollum.

weta guy: Listen, if you're that stupid kid from down the street...

mysterious caller: the audience will want to see gollum in the acceptance speech, do it...now. Tell your animato-

weta guy: dude i totally see you at the phone booth. Im callin the cops.



You get the idea.

Also, i think someone's 8 key got stuck a bit.

[Angelus26]

Hehe, that was funny, all the same, like all live-action implemented CG characters, he's still annoying as **** in the film after a while, I would replace him with Tatu in Return of the King;)

[manfriday]

hah. please tell me you are not refering to the hispanic midget.

[RobertoOrtiz]

The what???

-Roberto

[TheWraith]

BOSS! da plane! da plane!

i asked in the other gollum thread that just sorta disappeared... anybody have any idea wut kinda resources ilm and weta used for those acceptance speeches? as in how many ppl and how much time it took to go from start (writting and concept) to finish (rendered and recorded). would be interesting to know what all was required when both companies are still busy on makin' movies.

[Peter Reynolds]

That sort of humor has been in Jackson's blood for a long while.

Meet the Feebles was a film that was WAY ahead of its time - long before South Park, etc.

Damn funny.

[Stahlberg]

hm... I don't know... I tried to love it, since everyone said it's so hilarious, but you know, when it's not working for you it's not... It's very well done, and quite cool, and slightly funny, but hilarious? Nah. (Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder or Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, now that's funny.) :)
The spoof that Black and Gellar did on the Ring Council (was it last year?), I liked that much better.

[peanut]

Dont worry everything that will be label LOTR will be praised as hilarious/masterpiece/grandiose for let say the next 15 years, i didnt specially found the last LOTR that much interesting or even a good movie but the masses are the masses and wont back away from anything that Rome will put in their plates

[FabioMSilva]

lol!

this was Fu***** funny!

[facial]

LOL.
So great. :beer:

[JeT]

:applause:
haha yeah go gollum :P funny funny

hey to all the people trying to make an argument out of all this for some reason, sheesh lay off each other. its mTV! life shouldnt always be a pint of seriousness.

hehe i like that pun

[Hellwolve]

It is awesome, but he said f*ck to many times IMHO. It's okay to say "f*ck" now and then, but it started to resemble Oprah or Jerry Springer with all those beeps ;)

I repeat, it's AWESOME, but his lines weren't exactly perfect ;)

I'm with you. It's a generation gap thingie.

I found it entertaining to a degree, but it's still geared towards an MTV audience and peeps who dig Justin Timberlake and jack arse movies.

[TheWraith]

you old fogies have no sense of humor :P j/k i think all the swearing is what made it so funny honestly. it DID seem like something from jerry springer... and honestly, isn't that the kind of show gollum really belongs on? although it might be funny to see him on with Dr. Phil too.... hmmm.....

[Chewey]

Yes, and all your taste is in your mouth.
:p (joke)

:drool:

[Neil]

So gauging by the love of this video, are there a lot of Andrew Dice Clay fans here?
Oh, dice man!

I mean he dropped the f-bomb about every 3 seconds and insulted EVERYONE, that means he's gotta be hysterical too

[manfriday]

I guess profantiy is more funny when it is spewed from the mouth of a 3d creature.
heh.

[Ckerr812]

For those of you who are just downloading the video off the net, I think you might take this out of context. The whole movie award show is like that, including The Matrix spoof, which was hella funny too. Great show...can't wait for next years :)

I think it's just your sense of humor really, it's a little low brow along the lines of South park and such, but whatever makes you laugh then it's good, no need to get insulting/offensive saying "jack arse movies" to make a point you didn't like it. To each his own.

My, my ,my. What have we here? Someone who's taking person insult from an accurate characterisation of who the target audience is?

You must be either,
- still in your teens
- dig the jack arse thing
- dig Red Green
or all the above. :scream:

[Ckerr812]

:rolleyes: hmm...you must eithier,

Have a serious issue about having to insult people that disagree with you.

Or are so full of yourself that you think your always right.

Or both :D

Wow, thanks for proving my point Chewey, it's a shame you don't have the class of Mr.Stahlberg and can disagree with someone without resorting to childish name calling.

I just got a couple of Pms about you, and searching through your previous posts, you have a history of taking conversations down to the grade school level. Looks good on ya :beer:

thanks for a great link, its hilarious!!

lets see gollum rip into jarjar...i guess jarjars last years effort but all the other options to win best cg character seemed lame in comparison...'nasty little yoda!':cool:

[TheWraith]

i think some of the people thinking it was stupid is also because they downloaded it and were expecting something clever. if you just watched the show when they first aired it, it was completely unexpected. and don't turn it into a generation thing, it's just about different senses of humor. some people find bathroom humor funny and laugh histerically everytime they hear a fart in a movie. other people think jokes like that are stupid and find no humor in it. some people find the 3 stooges funny while others think slapstick comedy is the dumbest thing they've ever seen. either way though... you gotta admit that when something is built up to be hilarious and it turns out being some little guy cussing a lot, it loses it's edge. but watching it without any expectations and having it be completely unexpected gives a diff't perspective.
