Movie goers die fast. Balin is Balin. And the Balrog is missing.

Yes, we all are movie goers, but after that, we get our copy toand watch it 10 thousand times, so all these inconsistencies will eventually show up, even to the most retared ones. And for Balin not being Balin... well... they should have changed Balin's name in TH with another name then, because everybody, after seeing TH and then seeing FOTR will make that connection. I'm sure they'll wrap up that story in a clever way, it's such a strong connection to LOTR it would be embarassing not to take advantage of it. And as for the Balrog, I think Gandalf should just warn Balin and the others about the old myth of a Balrog being down there; but again, Balin should know that well too... so also this moment needs to be dealt with a clever touch.

I'm never going to see the discovery of Balins tomb in FOTR the same again

Exactly. Exactly. And, as I say in another post, I think it possible that the defeat of Smaug, a victory beyond rational hope

That isn't true in the films. In the movie timeline he DEFINITELY knows there is a Balrog.

And, again, the best way to handle this, without a fast forward, is through hinting and looking back

I don't think we know how bound to a solid walking form Balrog's were.
