Went to The Hobbit last night...

...and thoroughly enjoyed it. The faster projection speed didn't faze me, and I was very satisfied with the 3D effects.

Sounds like you really enjoyed. I hope to see it within the next few days.

I love Hugo Weaving, I just had from the texts a much different physical impression of Elrond--more conventionally handsome and Noldorin in looks. And it was so ingrained in my head. The Elrond of PJ's LotR movies really got the worst deal of any character, except Denethor maybe, on the re-write of their role in the story also. I am looking forward to Elrond getting a better/more sympathetic part in this one.

The last scene was the perfect cliff-hanger!!

Eeeps! "perfect cliffhanger" is an oxymoron to me. But I do know other people feel differently, especially script writers.

"I love that PJ retained his having a bird's nest under his hat - and I was surprised at how spry he was portrayed."

I'm going to sound like a dork, but where was this retained from? Is this a detail that Tolkien actually introduced somewhere, and where?
