Interesting read - I especially liked the mention of the 3 big cities of Lake-town, Dale and Erebor (although Dale and Erebor "will play much bigger parts in the third film").

Great read - lots of new stuff - not the same old interviews that have been regurgitated recently - and good to see quotes from Fran Walsh. interestingly it seems GdT's influence will come to the fore most in this film..

There's a lot in that article that feels and sounds different.
I'm intrigued by the comments about the design, and Guillermo del Toro being more involved with this film. and as you say, about the cities. Very interesting - I think this film's going to be outstanding (even if I do have to watch the sp***** through closed eyes!)

... I get so excited over the last couple of weeks. What is it, around 50 days now.
“A dragon is no idle fancy. Whatever may be his origins, in fact or invention, the dragon in legend is a potent creation of men’s imagination, richer in significance than his barrow is in gold.” J.R.R. Tolkien
Words of wisdom that should be remembered - both by critics, purists and anyone in between.

I keep putting them out of my mind, and then suddenly get reminded. I will be hiding behind my seat during that scene

Well, I'll be behind my seat rather than yours... It's one instance where I was hoping for a very unfaithful adaptation. Why not squirrels? Mice? Anything four-legged I could cope with!

"follow the butterflies?"
And actually, I think I might have a problem with squirrels--there are a couple in my yard that are seriously psychotic. I constantly expect them to leap out of trees and attack me (although for now they seem to content themselves with just digging up my flowers  ). And can you imagine a ton of mice scurrying around? *Shudders*. How about a swarm of kittens and puppies? That I could handle

.. except I'd hate to have my faith in the innocence of kittens ruined.
Though, come to think of it, can you imagine a swarm of nice, fluffy kittens wrapping the dwarves in balls of wool? Now, that I'd pay to see!

my cats look at house spiders curiously. Then they bat them around. Then they eat them. Ants and crickets too. It doesn't pay to have 6-8 legs in my house = fun snack.
