This is what comic-con people do when the con gets to be too much. Eat and drink. Brian and Shawn drink Irish Car Bombs. A pint of guiness with a shot of something dropped in that makes the beer steam up explosion style. The voice in the background is Homer who filmed but didn't drink. I also took a pass on this drink.
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...
Noticed that I edited out the part where I filmed you eating.
ReplyDeleteYes and I was grateful that you did!
ReplyDeleteCheers for doing the Irish Carbomb! I would have no trouble drinking one, I'd only have trouble chugging it like that! Whoa!
