Still not seen The Hobbit...

[wiseheart]

... since I'm practically imprisoned home, due to illness. But some meagre advantage has come from the new Tolkien boom. A tiny handful of people have discovered my Dwarf- and Hobbit-related stuff on FF.Net, namely "A Dwarven Yuletide", "Elf-Root", "Prisoner of Dol Guldur" and "Astonishment in Mirkwood". I haven't got a Tolkienfic review for Ages - until now!

I firmly decided to watch the films as dubious fanfic. That way, I won't be too disappointed. I hope. Because what I've read about the Dwarves so far doesn't make me very optimistic.

Oh, hell, it has Martin Freeman! And it will have the Cumberbatch Dragon later! For that, I'll endure Elrond the Creep and Radioactive Galadriel again.

If only I could finally stop this bloody coughing! Over a week without uninterrupted sleep at night is no fun. Even though last night I actually managed 5 hours of sleep - in 3 pieces.

Actually, I was determined not to see the films at all - until I saw Freeman in Sherlock. Then I decided that I'll see the film for his sake. And to hear Cumberbatch as the voice of Smaug, later. The first stands I saw of the Dwarves made it clear that it's going to be a seriously shitty film. Badfic on the big screen. What I've heard since then only cemented my fears. But I do want to see Freeman as Bilbo, so I'll go and watch.

The scene with Bilbo and Gollum is almost worth watching the entire film for. Unfortunately, you have to wait a long time to get there.

Well, Gollum was probably the only movie character worth the books in LOTR, too, so it's not that surprising.
