Hobbit Woes and Christmas Indigestion

[leviosa8]

Hello and Merry belated Christmas... season.

It's all about family and work these days, but there are a couple of random fan-things I'd like to mention.

1. South Park: Finished Season 14. I laughed a lot with "Crippled Summer", "It's a Jersey Thing", "Insheeption" and "Creme Fraiche", so wrong and yet so hilarious. Like Tom Cruise's house,

Agree with you 100% on the Finnick casting. Personally, I was on the Jesse William as Finnick boat, but alas.

Also, Creme Fraiche was a beautiful, beautiful episode. Especially when Jamie Oliver shows up. Heh heh heh.

He should be more dark-skinned, I think. But well, as long as he can really act the part, it should be alright. I might be biased due to his role in "Snow White and the Huntsman".

Crying all the time, feeling so insecure... I admit I don't know any of those cooks at all, except for Jamie Olvier, only by name. Cooking shows in that style are becoming popular now.

Coincido contigo en lo que comentas de "El Hobbit". Me quedo con la anterior trilogía. La escena de los gigantes de piedra peleándose entre ellos me pareció aburrida y gratuita. Lo mejor de toda la película, Gollum, actorazo digital. Gran duelo de astucia.
Yo tuve que verla en 3D por verla con el nuevo sistema de más calidad ese en el que la han rodado.
No obstante, una película lo suficientemente entretenida como para ser vista una vez en cine.

Esa escena estuvo muy bien, hasta el momento en el que Bilbo decide no matarle. Creo que la bordaron.

¿Y te gustó el nuevo sistema? Bueno, ya me contarás el próximo día mejor.

UNA VEZ. Eso es lo sorprendente, para mí. No creo que la aguantara dos, sobre todo la intro con los enanos colándose y destrozando la casa de Bilbo. Me puso mala esa escena.

Yo aun no he tenido chance de ver el Hobbit, pero unas amigas de Twitter lo fangirlean duro, sobre todo por Martin Freeman. =P

La verdad no soy fan del libro, lo leí y me pareció bien normal, así que tampoco tengo muchas expectativas de la película.

Normal, en los tiempos de Sherlock que corren. Me gustó su actuación, pero él solo no podía tapar los agujeros ni los malos cortes de montaje.

Yo no tenía ninguna, pero pensé que estaría mejor hecha argumentalmente, y es un coladero.

Oh no! :( It breaks my heart that you didn't like it. Maybe the book will make you like it a bit better? Also according to some moviegoers, watching it again might make you appreciate it?

The mountain fight was actually in the book too, but I guess it could have been a bit more fluid. Humans come in on the next movie, when they finally reach Erebor :)

It's not that I didn't like it. I just found it not a good movie, a careless piece of work, which surprised me. If you take out the beloved story for those who have read the books, the shiny effects and Martin Freeman, there is a badly organized movie with very silly monsters and situations. Only Bilbo and Gollum's scene retains the quality of the previous saga.

Also, I was bothered by the dwarves looting Bilbo's pantry. Really annoyed. I have started the book, and that doesn't happen. He serves them, and when he gets tired, asks for help from those "damned dwarves!". ; )

Some parts were even ridiculous to the point of self-parody.

I am looking forward to reading the book and knowing more of the story, though. And to decent humans, if possible. : )
