The Hobbit Discussion thread!

[Amaranthine]

Does anyone intend on seeing this the day it comes out? Pretty sure they're selling tickets here already and it's gonna be packed for the first week.

I would, but I have a math final at 8 am the next day...I'm seeing it two days after it comes out, on Sunday.

[Amaranthine]

BTW dudes, if any of you have any extra cash, the Warner Bros merch shop is selling exclusive Hobbit shirts for $25 until 8 am tomorrow, and then they'll retire them forever. Go buy!

I hope that the next two have the Wilhelm scream too, tbh.

I watched the extended edition of TT over the weekend with my brother and a group of friends, and I was the only one who noticed the scream when a Uruk-hai fell off the wall at Helm's Deep.

It looks like I'm going to see it 4 times lmao. Once with my brother, one time with my friends, one time with some dudes from class and another time with a friend for free hehe.

It's probably 3 for me. Need to save some money, lol.

“Smash the bottles and burn the corks!
Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates!
Cut the cloth and tread on the fat!
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
Pour the milk on the pantry floor!
Splash the wine on every door!
Dump the crocks in a boiling bawl!
Pound them up with a thumping pole!
And when you’ve finished, if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates!”

I will see this Twice! BTW, I told my sister about LOTR and how good it was, I let her watch the 1st one, so she watched the 2nd and the 3rd one on the same day LMAO! now she keeps sneaking up behind me at times and saying *Smeagul Voice* PRECIOUSSSS, LMAO! so I'm gonna watch it with her on the 14th (it drops in theaters on the 13th here), then I'll watch it with my friends!

btw @Amar, what's the difference between the Uurk-Hai and the regular Orcs?

Uruk-hai were indeed a hybrid race, bred by Sauron in Mordor and Saruman in Isengard, to be superior to orcs in everyway. The Uruks were larger, stronger, and faster than orcs and, as a result, were better fighters as has already been established.

It is not entirely clear as to exactly what combination of species the Uruk-hai are made up of, as the Two Towers leads us to believe heavily that the Uruk-hai are the ghastly results of the crossbreeding between Orcs and Men (or at least Saruman's Uruk-hai). Yet in the Unfinished Tales the Uruk-hai appear alongside another race which are referred to specifically as Orc-Men.

It is also commonly speculated that the Uruk-hai are a cross between Goblins and Orcs. This combination would produce much the same beneficial properties of the previous hybrid as the goblins are faster and stronger than Orcs, yet Orcs can move in sunlight while Goblins can't. Likewise Men are faster and stronger than Orcs.

It is my belief that the Uruk-hai of Saruman are almost exclusively crossings between Men and Orcs, while the Uruk-hai of Sauron may have been both half-Orc/half-Man and half-Orc/half-Goblin...this is one of the mysteries that J.R.R. Tolkien has sadly left us with, however.

Saw it last night at the early-premiere. All I can say is: fuck the critics. Went into the movie with skyhigh expectations and it sure didn't let me down. I would go as far as say it is the best movie made in years.

Who's gonna watch this with 48 fps 3D? I'm gonna try it, don't know how good it will be. I mean the 3D, the movie is obviously awesome.
