the bunny sledge was freaking awesome, I want one.

Well, I suppose the sledge itself would be OK if you hitched it to a team of reindeer, but if you ever try hitching it to bunnies I'm going to report you to the purist police! Mad

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Norc! Very Happy

I can't wait to see it myself but also to hear what everyone else thought. Smile

by Norc Wed Dec 12, 2012 3:22 pm

I don't want to spoil everything, but yes, Thranduil is in it, no tauriel, lots of elves, thranduils riding animal gave me a heart-attack. No Estel.

but, I have to point out that some of the key moments in the first trailer like Gandalf wandering in Dol Guldur (yes, it was Dol Guldur) and Bilbo walking up to the shards of narsil didn't make it, or was changed. as I wrote that, it might actually have been weather top..... because of.. yeah.. you'll see Smile

I'll find out soon enough.

I kept on smiling throughout because they brought so much from the book Smile

omg.. I am starting a rant soon... forgetting everything :S

as i said, i would like you to have the same experience as me and be pleasantly surprised but if you really must know

Spoiler:

there are some really nice pony scenes Smile

You are actually lowering my crabbit levels here Norc! Shocked

You know how rare that us?!!

by Norc Wed Dec 12, 2012 4:14 pm

I know

I kept thinking throughout the movie "this will make Petty happy". Your still going to be annoyed by Radagast and WC and necromancer, but if you just accept that that is what it is, and realize it actually treats the wizards and all with justice, you might like the movie Wink

by Pettytyrant101 Wed Dec 12, 2012 4:19 pm

Shit stained Radagast is treated with justice- that seems a strech! But I shall see- the most encouraging thing is it sounds salvagable! As if I should be able to remove a few PJ bits without affecting the main story.

What what about Azog?- does he still get his head chopped off outside Moria? Or has PJ screwed the history of the goblin wars up? Does Thror still die first an does Azog brand is name on his head- is Azogs excellent litle speech in it?- does Dain kill Azog in the battle?

by Mrs Figg Wed Dec 12, 2012 4:49 pm

so excited now! Thranduil squeeeeeeeeeee!! Kissing

if Norclet likes it I am sure its good. I trust her opinion on this. Nod

I found my goblin versus orc quote (by accident). It wasn't crawling spiders but lice!

Anyone know if the hair fiddling scene was in the film? And if so, does Cate B. actually tell Ian M. not to be frightened, and that he is not alone (as I thought I heard in a recent TV spot).

by Norc Thu Dec 13, 2012 3:30 pm

... yeah, but you have to see it in context.

by Pettytyrant101 Thu Dec 13, 2012 3:34 pm

Like in a different film? scratch

by Norc Thu Dec 13, 2012 3:41 pm

by Pettytyrant101 Thu Dec 13, 2012 3:51 pm

Concise.

by Elthir Thu Dec 13, 2012 5:17 pm

Thanks for the confirmation Norc.

To add, I'm not sure I really need to see the context; at least when considering this scene as part of an adaptation (as opposed to whether or not it is a nice scene between two characters in a film).

In other words, while it's my personal opinion, I can't imagine Tolkien countenancing such a scene between Galadriel and Gandalf here, so for me the fuller context will likely be relevant to the 'world' invented by the filmmakers.
