1. IF Bard had NOT stopped the Town Bell from.. [In reply to] Can't Post

RINGing, Bain would not have looked up
wondering why?.. it was Silenced...

This how the 3 kids knew where "DA" went.

2. The Color of Lake Pukaki according to Luke Evans in the Extras
has Volcanic ash, mixed into it
from the Mountains around Mt. Cook,
giving it that ODD Turquoise Color.

Well, that is Amazing! since when Smaug Destroyed Laketown
ASH rained down on this water..the Night before.
...{Perfect casting of a LAKE?..}

3. Seems that Gandalf is Enchanting to Radagast in Rosgobal
asking him to come back. {ODD that it seems Radagast's shot
is a Shot Re-used from the First film..when RTD was trying to Save the Hedgehog}

4. When Saruman & Elrond battle the NINE, they keep coming back...
BUT it Only Takes Galadreil ONE Blast from the Phial
to Make them Flee.
This points up the fact She is much MORE Powerful than
EVEN Elrond & Saruman.

5. Inside the Mountain scene, next. Directly above Balin & Dwalin is
a Huge Statue that has Be-Headed? like Thror had been outside
The Gate of Moria.

6. Balin & Bilbo scene.
Would it help?.. if it would be Found"

Within Balin's response, he says "...bestowing POWER
to he who has it."
SSOoo the question is, has it Bestowed power to Bilbo?

For awhile Bilbo not only has the ONE Ring & The Arkenstone, too..
The MOST Evil thing & the MOST Powerful thing..?

7. The Acorn in Bilbo's Hand has many meanings.
....a. He had acorn buttons in his vest
but lost them when Squeezing though a Crevasse to escape Gollum.

....b. It's a Reminder of his adventure with Throin OAKenshield.

...c. Thorin calls it .."a POOR Prize to take back to the Shire,"
but Bilbo says "One day it will grow"

These two have really different attitudes displayed here.

It's some sort of a small animal [In reply to] Can't Post

It's still alive when Azog feeds it to Daisy: you can see it wiggle its paws. That's how I remember it at least -- I have yet to get my hands on the DVD. Frown

I believe it was Manu Bennett who named her Daisy.

Depressing observation...sorry [In reply to] Can't Post

The order in which Fili, Kili, and Thorin are introduced to Bilbo (and the audience) at Bag End is the same order in which they die.

also, characters spoil the plot in movie [In reply to] Can't Post

Good observation, lionoferebor. In this vein..

Thorin says "I'm going to kill that piece of filth [Azog]". And he does!

Azog says: "This one [Fili] dies first. Then the brother [Kili]. Then you, Oakenshield." Lo and behold, Azog is right-- they do in fact die in that order!

Correction : Its not volcanic ash. [In reply to] Can't Post

Quote "2. The Color of Lake Pukaki according to Luke Evans in the Extras

Luke correctly calls it glacial flour, an entirely different geological substance.

quick ob [In reply to] Can't Post

After Legolas speaks to Tauriel on the lakeshore, she looks back at Kili and, though you can only see the bottom half of her face in the shot, she does a quick shake of the head indicating no, then he nods sadly with resignation and goes to the boat.

more on the parting scene [In reply to] Can't Post

1) When Kili walks to the boat, he still has a noticeable limp.

2) Kili stops rowing to look back at Tauriel. Fili turns to say something to Kili (he looks rather impatient) and then Kili turns away from Tauriel to continue rowing.

3) The boat actually starts to leave without Kili! (This was funny: I've definitely used that strategy on car passengers when they were being slowpokes. Works every time.)

On the march to Erebor:

1) Kili still has a slight limp.

2) Fili leads the Lake-town dwarves to Erebor, momentarily walks backwards, seemingly saying something to Kili.

When does Kili's limp disappear? It's gone by the battle. Wondering about the passage of time.

Appreciation more than observation: Wow, that scene where the 4 dwarves walk to Erebor is just gorgeous! Great cinematography and music.

I really like reading the observations [In reply to] Can't Post

Though on the last draft, when it says Billy Boyd, then the two lines below it talking about a Billy, are you talking about Billy Jackson or Billy Boyd? Because I know Billy Jackson also had a cameo in Dale, during the Stone Street reference.

I so agree... [In reply to] Can't Post

I just now posted this in another thread:

One of my absolute favourite moments in all the Hobbit movies is when Gandalf comes and sits next to a grief-stricken Bilbo after Thorin dies.

For me, the two of them sitting side-by-side encapsulates what the Quest has done to Bilbo and his great friendships with Thorin and with Gandalf. It's heartbreaking and so beautiful.

That whole pipe-picking Gandalf does to quietly distract Bilbo and bring him back is so perfect, imho. Gandalf knows what he's doing to help his friend :)

If you look closely, an elf gets impaled by one of the dwarven spears and falls over, its hard to notice, I'm not sure if you already got this.
