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

I, too, imprinted early on the Rankin-Bass version, with my brother and I listening to the record version over and over. So I was stuck on the Hans Conreid characterization of Thorin as Grumpy Old Man Who Wants His Money Back

all of the hot dwarves die - fili and kili get it in the end, too. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. :( just kill off all of my favorites, then, why don't you, tolkien. (disclaimer: fili and kili were my faves for some reason long before their casting, i didn't just jump on the hot dwarf bandwagon like i did with legolas back in the day, rofl.)

:( i didn't remember that they died. so now i have to watch Aidan Turner die again? I don't know if my fan-girl heart can take it.

Sure, we were all ready for the Hotness of Men in LOTR. And we pretty much expected the Hotness of Elves, too. But John Rhys Davies, bless his heart and long may he wave, really did not prepare us for the Hotness of Dwarves. UNF

You said it better than I could've. I left the theatre very confused. And warm. And since I know what happens to the three now-hot-onscreen dwarves at the end of the book, it's going to make it so much harder when the time comes.

I would like to second all of this, and add a HNNNNNG to your UNF.
