Films in Review

Saw … #Smaug. Beorn, leisurely/humourous/portentous in the book, is way condensed/elided. He gives way to roller-coasters …

… This is much like PJ’s #KingKong: generous, ingratiating, w’ climaxes that are nicely calculated, executed & accumulating …

… Still, not exactly grave or saga-like.

#Smaug. I’m wondering. Are dwarves and elves like horses and donkeys, engendering-wise?

#Smaug. Hey, designers. Congratulations on Lake-Town!

#Smaug. Thoren’s Thoren-ness is getting to be kind of overly Thoren-like.

#Smaug, not grave or saga-like, until the dragon. Then, complete awesomeness—as both kids & grown-ups might define the word …

… Still on board!
