The blu-ray looked amazing, like the most fantastic screensaver ever, but I just couldn't make it through the movie. We gave up around the one hour mark; the bird shit wizard was the breaking point.

Ok, I have never read any of Tolkiens works or seen any movie versions until The Hobbit, and I have to say that the birdshit guy with the rabbits was one of the things I loved about the movie. Once again, I'm not familiar with any of Tolkiens books beyond their titles.

I'm familiar with the books and movies, and I thought the bird shit bro was cool!

To each their own (except on the internet, where you're right and everyone else is wrong).

Yeah, the movie would have been so much cooler if it had gay cowboys eating pudding. Not ordinary cool, but Portland Shade Grown Free Range Cool.

All that Tolkien stuff was just too much for me. It's like they don't think elves are real.

What's up with the surge of lame trolls on Blogtown lately? Do we old-school trolls need to be gearing up for some sort of turf war?

ONCE YOU'RE A JET YOU'RE A JET ALL THE WAY

So how does the ring make Bilbo's clothing disappear? If he was tied up, would the ropes disappear? Also, will there be a comical scene where Gandalf and Galadriel are fiddling with their own rings of power and each tries to switch theirs with Bilbo's?

Oh, I get it, that's Radagast? Damn I'm glad I didn't see the film.

i think i saw that guy in downtown portland
