Thank you! [In reply to] Can't Post

Agreed completely. It's always nice to see dose of reality amongst the circular (non) logic, denial, and ranting. Smile

My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit"
5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck
4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot
3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan
2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate
1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!

The Hobbit will almost certainly hold up as a bona fide chapter in a larger classic film series, despite the mixed and overly cynical reviews. . AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 19 2013, 5:59am

        Quite true. What I think some forget (and the mixing in of Thror's fate doubtless muddied it further) AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 19 2013, 6:30am
    Nothing to add except SirDennisC Send a private message to SirDennisC Jan 19 2013, 6:40am
        Yes. Unless they sold them, which seems utterly improbable. New Line was already a division of AOL/Time Warner AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 19 2013, 6:51am

        fine line indeed. That's what is so hard here, for us as fans to comment on... though we still have a concept of how good it was of course. Xanaseb Send a private message to Xanaseb Jan 19 2013, 12:27pm

        I am fairly confident that had this film managed to get made and released 13 years ago AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 19 2013, 7:15pm

    It's one of those movies Súlimë Send a private message to Súlimë Jan 19 2013, 2:45pm

                I am more or less of the same mind. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 20 2013, 5:52pm
                    I beg to disagree Black Breathalizer Send a private message to Black Breathalizer Jan 20 2013, 6:30pm
                        And yet Thror had gone mad. The movie already tells you as much. He had succumbed to "a sickness" of the mind. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 20 2013, 7:03pm
                    Agreed Elessar Send a private message to Elessar Jan 20 2013, 6:37pm

                            Captain Salt,does quoting yourself make the point stronger? =) Black Breathalizer Send a private message to Black Breathalizer Jan 20 2013, 6:54pm
                                Black Breathalizer, and YOUR point is what, exactly? =) // Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Jan 20 2013, 7:26pm
                    But, art being subjective, there are no facts of good versus bad. Only matters of taste. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 20 2013, 7:15pm

                                I agree thoroughly about the dwarves, and largely about the humour. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 21 2013, 12:21am
                                Again, this is simply not the case: Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Jan 21 2013, 6:14am

                                I won't refute all of your counter-arguments, as clearly we're not going to agree Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Jan 21 2013, 6:57am
                                    Fair enough AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Jan 21 2013, 7:06am
                                        Never mind, I've responsed to your considerable arguments in full (see above): Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Jan 21 2013, 7:35am
                                Well actually, I'll just respond to your previous post in full: Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Jan 21 2013, 7:34am
