BOTFA turns 10! Can't Post

Today, "The Hobit: The Battle of the Five Armies" turns 10 -- at least in the US. In many countries worldwide, it premiered several days before, as far as a whole week In some places.

I started a thread last year the day Desolation of Smaug (DOS) also turned 10 years old.

I couldn't do one for "An Unexpected Journey" back in 2022, I don't know why. I was certainly "avaliable", so as to say. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that it is my least favorite Hobbit movie. Laugh

Oh well, I may do one when it turns 15 or 20, who knows. Let's say I am huge fan of consistency. Smile

Speaking of "consistency", does anyone know why the last LOTR movie (ROTK) and the last Hobbit movie (BOTFA) both premiered on 17 December?

Perhaps PJ is -- like myself -- a "huge fan of consistency"? Laugh

Man, it doesn't feel like 10 years. [In reply to] Can't Post

Time flies, huh?

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Can't believe it's been ten years [In reply to] Can't Post

I remember being 17 and super excited for it. I was playing the soundtrack the day it released even before I saw it, trying to pick out familiar themes!

ALL Middle-earth feature films, at least from the PJ era onwards (starting with FotR in 2001) have premiered in December.

You said your birthday is on December 14? Well, AUJ's worldwide official release date was December 14, 2012.

So they "hit" your birthday 12 years ago! Laugh

Cool! [In reply to] Can't Post

I was 20 when it was released (my birthday is on September 15). I went by car to the nearest city (which is quite far away) to watch it in IMAX! Smile Then I watched it 4 more times in my own town before it's theatrical run was over.

I still have all three deluxe editions of The Hobbit soundtracks, and I don't plan to part with them! They are stored very carefully in my room! Wink
