that was great!

I saw a show that explored parts of where they filmed the Hobbit and it didn't look like they CGI'd anything. They went to the hilly, river-y places and they all looked just as they did in the movie. Of course the elvish castle in Rivendale in CGI but the surrounding scenery was right there.

RE: les mis. I saw the play and loved it and then saw the movie and was depressed for three days having PTSD for people who never existed!
Twas so sad once I could understand what everyone was singing about (we had balcony seats at the play and i didn't know the music so a lot was lost on me)

Saw it last night on a second run screen. The print was slightly damaged. It was good but Bilbo's transformation wasn't nearly as impressive as what I remember in the book. I think too much weight was placed on the action sequences, which were hard to stay immersed in. That said, I'm in for all three and will watch it again on a better screen.

We hates it! We hates it forever!

I just saw it on DVD. It's just out from Netflix.

What a pile of rubbish. Too much changed. Ripped out bits. Added unnecessary backstory. The dwarves are made out to be complete pigs. The list goes on.

As much as I love The Hobbit and LotR, I not sure I'll bother to see the second half. I certainly won't pay to see it in the theaters.
