It's nice to see those lines more in context.

Hey; my first acting job was a stage production of The Hobbit at age 13 too! Course, Armitage has done a bit more since then.

Another scene I like. That must be the sort of thing most reviewers are complaining about. Too much talking and discussing. More crumbling staircases please!

Alatar's review has convinced me that I will like this film far more than FOTR, TTT and ROTK.

Then . . . then I'm afraid there may be nothing more we can do. :nono:
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Watch the second trailer (actually the only trailer, since the first one was a "teaser"). I noticed when I saw it in the theatre that it was pretty darned embarrassingly bad.

:rofl: you guys!

Nice but lightweight interview with PJ on the BBC - don't know if you'll be able to view it, but here's the link~:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20675518

Clips shown are the Bag End clips and some of the Riddle sequence from the trailers. Also the clip from the 13-minute special where Bilbo dumps the Dwarves' weapons and goes to open the front door to the rest of the Dwarves.

PJ talks mainly about the differences in Gollum from LotR - is persuaded to try and imitate Gollum's voice! - and the differences in tone between Hobbit & LotR, as well as old stuff about how PJ got into movie-making.

ETA: here's a link to the write-up, for those who can't view the video clip...

Not sure if this is the same material as the 13-minute special posted before the film was released (that video was taken down) but this is 27 minutes worth of cast interviews and behind-the-scenes footage:

Enjoy!
