The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark
Jan. 12th, 2014 08:46 pmHERE WE ARE AT LAST (I kid, I kid. This is CHAPTER FIVE. But also: I am excited!).
So the thing about Riddles in the Dark is that it was my DEFINING MOMENT for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Into Dwarf Feelings. I didn't have really strong opinions about anything else (though I got a few very pleasant surprises, like PLATES and Elrond), but this was the one scene that I wanted, more than anything, to look like what I've been imagining all these years. AND THEN IT WAS PERFECT! Everything was perfect. Andy Serkis's swan song was beautiful and Bilbo even lost his goddamn buttons, and I have ZERO COMPLAINTS.
That's totally not what I am about to talk about.
( It's mine. My own. My precious. )
Oh, and also Bilbo loses his buttons but manages to KEEP HIS PIPE through the whole thing, which I just love (there's a scene where Merry whips out his pipe, having just been carried by an Ent and kidnapped by uruks, and the people I was with at the theatre were all "REALLY?" and I was all "HOBBITS, MAN. FREAKING HOBBITS."
