The reviews started coming out last week - it's been very mixed all around.
Everyone agrees it's long and overstuffed, but whether that's good or bad depends on how much you like reading the LotR appendices.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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.

(Spoiler alert: his name is not Figwit.)
(Though I'm hoping somewhere in the script notes it lists him as "Lindor, whom the Men call Figwit in the Common Tongue.")

move out and draw fire
Didn't they do either an album or at least some songs about LoTR even before the movies? My Alzheimer's is setting in...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm going to see The Hobbit on Saturday: 3-d Imax.
So excited. Going with a large (for me) group of people: we're making an event of it with a hobbity breakfast first and then the movie.

The scene at our house tonight:
Pete, very casually: "Do you want to have Fellowship on in the background while we work on things?"
Me: "Sure!"
time passes
Pete: "... you know that we're going to end up watching all three movies before we go see The Hobbit next week, right?
Me: "That's what I was expecting, yes."
Pete: "Oh good."
