So I saw The Hobbit

[cleolinda]

Due to the computer trouble (see the previous entry) and also my general and regrettable allergy to deadlines, I haven't finished the Breaking Dawn thing yet. However, even if I do finish it this weekend… I'm not sure when it will be appropriate to post it, given the really, really awful events in Connecticut. Charlie's Over-Protective Father

My brain couldn't make itself love Thorin Hair-Breezing it over to fight Azog because it was so caught off-guard by the music they chose for it. I was just like I SEE WUT UR DOIN and I don't like iiiit! Like, I was mentally cringing.

Also mentally cringed during the scene in which Thorin is yelling at Bilbo like I SAID YOU'D NEVER FIT AMONG US and I was so wrong. Like, I knew it was coming, I knew the tone would have this sharp shift, but gaaah I couldn't handle it.

I actually really didn't like that either. The hug seemed overdone and out of character. Maybe they're trying to set up the character as mercurial?

I ship it.

I'm as big a slash fan as possible, but for some reason, I can't slash Thorin. My brain won't let it happen. Possibly I'm still trying to process the actual hot dwarfishness.

that scene at the end was so predictable but it hit me right in the feels anyway. maybe because richard armitage has such a sincere face. WHO KNOWS.

also yeah, because the parallels between thorin and aragorn weren't huge enough anyway... let's use the same damn music for their big epic battle scenes. :|

I was okay with the hug, but I wanted them to get to it faster, rather than have this unrealistically harsh fakeout. You know, like anyone was ever going to think that Thorin was going to chew him out and stomp off--don't try to surprise us, we know where you're going with this.

I was okay with that actually. It struck me as a parent yelling DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!!! The hug just seemed out of place. Like, did he even hug Fili and Kili after they ended up not dead of the smush in the rock giant fight?
