The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...
That's an awfully yellow beer...

But I but it doesn't taste like grapefruit.
ReplyDeleteThat glass is half full! Drink up!
ReplyDeleteChange that second "but" to a "bet".
ReplyDeleteIt was yellow and it was good. I only know it as "local beer." On a warm day after walking at least 10 miles, it did the trick. I also took a few sips before I remembered my cell phone was with me and for once, moblogger worked overseas!
