1st read "The Hobbit" in middle school....late 70's
I have read LOTR numerous times...played D & D back before I could drive....(funny how a car, guitars & girls ended that! 8) )
The Silmarillion is brilliant & staggering in its scope............
that one really adds to the understanding of all the cryptic allusions in LOTR & The Hobbit

1/2 of me would crap my pants.....the other 1/2 wants to ninja jump onto the top of his neck and go for an awesome flight around Middle Earth. YEEEEHAAAAA!!!!
I think my kids may like this, kind of puzzled by the excitement among middle aged men though...

Reading the books as an adult is different as a kid . For one the age
But they are better written and have more subtext than one appreciated as a nipper .
Many of us met Smaug when we were quite young. He went away for a very long time. And now we FINALLY get to see Smaug the Magnificent in all his glory.
hmmm....kinda similar to grown men getting teary eyed seeing a certain front man take his rightful spot on stage with a particular band.

Fair enough.

Time to start getting excited guys. Movie opens in less than 2 weeks. And they just put the image of SMAUG the Dragon on the side of an Air New Zealand jetliner. First REAL look at him. AWESOME!
(sorry, i cant past photos into threads from work. Can you click link and maybe help me out? Anyone? lol)

sorry i am a fucking geek....and being a pilot.....in love with all the fantasy of flight.
Double BA in Business and English, Minor in Econ.
I visited Tolkien's Grave when I lived in Europe. Although he is put into Bantam books ect as fantasy.....escapism he is not. He was a great English Scholar and gets to the heart of where our language came from.
A story of Beowulf is not always appreciated until you see how it shaped the very words you use. Lacante' would tell you the same thing after you escaped your mirror phase.

Thanks a bunch Katina for helping out with the pics. NEXT WEEK! I can't wait! He looks so fucking perfect. I have been preparing myself for disappointment this entire time. Like we all were with the Godzilla movie several years back. But damn you Peter Jackson....you fucking nailed it again!!! So stoked about this.

Anyone see the midnight showing? Or is going tonight? I just couldn't see me staying up until 3 am on a work night. I didn't want to be miserably tired all day. I am going Sunday morning showing.
Also about Peter Jacksons design of Smaug. I was thinking how cool it was that he made him look like a regular dragon. When anyone thinks of a dragon, this is the typical image that comes to mind. So many of the top directors feel the need to create their version/concept of what a dragon should be. To leave their mark on the world. Like they are so gifted & important that their creation of something will be the new standard bearer. And Jackson said fuck that, make it look like a damn regular dragon.
From all the reviews, even the bad ones, everyone agrees that Smaug is the best creature ever to grace a screen. Not an easy feat.

Zing! (12-13-2013)
2 hours 40 minutes of a video game full of "Greetings Smeegle Wibble, are you going to the fortress city of Erumblebottom where the Spickle Dweebs fashion great jewels from the rocks of Twatenstone Mountain which they sell to the Finklewargs who are known for their great leader Bungle Puss the disinterested...?"
I may skip this one and let her take the kids...
have you sat thru the first 24 hours worth?
I watched the LOTR. The third one put me off. I'm all for gay rights and so on but 3 hours of strident homo eroticism, will they won't they followed by 45 minutes of endings put me off a bit and I ended up skipping the first Hobbit movie.
The one that took a billion zillion dollars at the box office - I do realise I am in the minority here...
PETE'S BROTHER (12-13-2013)
so, it needs more boobs?
The longest movie I've seen at the cinema in the last few years was Skyfall and it was long at 2 hours 23. There is only so much vodka you can drink before you need to go for a piss and I had to at that one at the 2 hour mark.
The worst was Gravity where we had 3 quick pints of beer, rushed into the iMax in the middle of a 40 person row with no central walkways. I needed a piss from 10 minutes in, thank fuck it was a fairly short movie.
I know this sounds like old man talk but to be fair real old man talk is when you have that problem without the pints of booze...
That said I think if you watched Gravity on your TV you would be completely puzzled by why it got so much hype, it's more a Universal Studios ride than a bit of narrative cinema.
truth be told, an intermission at a theater that doesn't sell booze would be half as important
If you have a 9 hour story do it on HBO, movies should be concise.
I ate up every aspect of Breaking Bad including extras but I wouldn't have sat in the cinema to watch 50 hours of it.
Particularly kids films - I can't be the only person that looks at the running time of a kids movie before deciding if I take them to see it at the cinema...
and, of course sam is gonna be jealous of a skinny little boy toy like smeagol.
No preliminary review from vandeleur?
To explain to people in the US he is from a place in the North of England called Newcastle which means at the moment he will be in the middle of a city street wearing a t-shirt in the freezing cold, with a brown beer in one hand and someones hair in the other while girls in white high heels and little else shout abuse and encouragement.

Not so much the minority - I was exactly the same way, 100%. I was there opening night for all the LOTR movies. Still haven't seen the Hobbit though. ROTK just rubbed me the wrong way. Undecided if I'll see Desolation of Smaug or not. I'm fine re-reading the books at this point.
