i liked it better than the first Hobbit part

Thinking of book-to-movie, it's definitely been weird seeing which parts Peter Jackson decided to extend or shorten... for this one I was surprised that they were only at Beorns for like, 5 minutes of run-time.
tumbleweed

Sat Dec 14 16:09:20
they covered the stuff i remembered... which isn't much :p (basically spiders/elves->barrels)... i don't recall orcs chasing them... & fairly sure no Legolas & Tauriel :p... but i don't really fault them for adding more action & sexy elves
Cherub Cow
Member
Sat Dec 14 17:24:16
Yeah Tauriel was invented just for this movie, and Legolas wasn't around :D .. and I'm not a novel purist or anything :p .. the different format needs changes, so whatever changes they want to make they can go ahead (I think it's fine to be critical of the changes, but not just because they're changes). I actually liked the Tauriel/Kili romance! :D
Tauriel was like the Walking Dead Daryl of this movie ;D

But it is funny/weird that even with an extended movie, Jackson kind of trimmed down the stuff that -was- in the book. Like that whole part about one of the dwarves falling in the enchanted forest river, or losing arrows trying to catch a deer.. instead they were captured pretty quickly. It makes me wonder if there's a lot of extra footage that he's planning à la LOTR, which makes it hard to judge anything

jiminy xmas!... went into photobucket to upload and got a fullscreen ad on the upload page, then another one when grabbing the direct links

and it was a 160+ seconds ad... luckily with a 'skip now' after a bit

i may have to look into this ad blocking technology... even though it's probably secretly more sinister somehow

Looks like imdb changed their format for the worse. If you look someone up, none of their filmography appears on their main page — just their "Known For" movies (top 4)
Like, here's Nicolas Cage:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000115/?ref_=tt_cl_t1

If you want to see his movies, you have to click on "filmography" in the top right, which leads to a disorganized-looking page...
This kind of makes imdb useless, so I guess Wiki will win again if imdb doesn't fix this...

That's not it, but I can't find it :(
I think it's a new one for his HitRecord website or something. Hulu is playing it in their ad rotation.. it starts with him putting the camera in his face and saying something like, "oh! hello! [I'm so surprised that I'm filming myself and you're watching. Also I'm obnoxious.]"
He got popular from the show 3rd Rock, then was in Inception, Looper, and some other stuff, btw

She's a showman. She always needs to do something to entertain the crowd and she just generally likes to move around on stage. There's not a lot you can when you're behind a piano and she's been whipping her hair around since she started doing tours lol

I would just listen to Red. That's the one I get most people with. She has a few gems elsewhere.


I'll save you some time though, if you absolutely didn't like All Too Well (the song from the Grammys), it's prolly not worth looking into. On the other hand, if you thought it was a surprisingly well written song with some actual quality, especially compared to songs like "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", it might be worth looking into.

Here's another one of her better written songs if you're still on the fence:
