I'm feeling pretty silly at the moment. I have only just now realized that Radagast is the Seventh Doctor. Dur.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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.

Also, I liked some of the changes, disliked others, but mostly thought it was okay (and the most expensive work of fan fiction ever). I don't really understand what the point of the plan to light the forges was. Fire can't kill a dragon. Obviously these dwarves haven't read Game of Thrones.
Also, are the dwarves all wearing meaty, prosthetic dwarf hands?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, Consuela. I believe I can skip that movie without regret.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sean, thank god I wasn't the only one thinking that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It makes me a little sad that I'm re-watching Lord of the Rings for the umpteenth time with great joy, but I have no real desire to see the new Hobbit movie.

Rewatching brought home to me that I didn't really get into any of the hobbit portrayals, though I was engaged whenever Gandalf, Aragorn, or Eowyn was onscreen.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I saw the HFR version yesterday. I thought that it was somewhat of an improvement over the first Hobbit; the better color correction helped. However, I still think the problem is that it makes things look *too real*, it made me realize I was looking at a movie set, and it threw me out of the picture.

I saw the HFR 3D version. I'd like to see the 2D HFR version, mostly because I don't think the theater I saw it at overclocked the projector lamp like you're supposed to for 3D. Everything was VERY dark.

I saw Desolation of Smaug this afternoon. Mostly enjoyed it, but that was mainly due to the performances by the major actors. I could have done with a bit more of those and a bit less CGI.

Just saw The Hobbit. Martin Freeman is wonderful. And Leglolas is still/was a badass. Off to read the whitefonts.
