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.

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

Sun Dec 15 01:24:16 2013
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

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...

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:
