I really enjoyed HTTM more than I expected to.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
OK, so I just saw the new/extended Hobbit trailer, and I'm all peeved. Because in it, Thorin says, "We shall take back Erebor!"
Which is totally wrong! The Dwarves were a company of 13: their only goal was to steal back some of their inheritance which Smaug had stolen. The days of the great dragon-slayers were over, and they had no power, no army, and no hope of defeating Smaug. They just wanted to get in and out quietly and quickly, and get as much gold and gems as they could.
That they did, in fact, cause the end of Smaug and the revival of Erebor was a completely unintentional result. Thorin is a (mostly) practical Dwarf, and he knew better.
Oh, PJ, why do you do this to me?
See, I still can't get over the fact that there are hot dwarves. It's just WRONG. (I mean, I do appreciate the hotness, but WRONG for dwarves.)

Heh, that too! Although some of them are not hot at all, and that totally helps.
Heh. I'm mainly suffering from trauma due to the amount of Bilbo/Smaug already out there.
Not that I can blame Jackson for that.
What, how is that a thing.
What, how is that a thing.
Very uncomfortably, I suspect.

I'm going La-la-la over here. I just...
I just don't want to know!
Oh, a little google makes that clear.
