"the whole spell-out-every-tolkien-trivia-so-that-everyone-must-understand"

That's a good way of describing PJ's mentality with the movie and especially this scene.

[Norc]

yeah.. i think.. i don't like it very much. can't he focus on stuff being more important to the story line?

[Amarië]

Careful, some of the people here are very touch about the distinctions between different shades of grey.

{{{Hey, that reminds me! When are we going to get to see Elthir and Dave's re-enactment of 50 Shades of Grey? }}}

{{{That certainly made me turn a whiter shade of pale... }}}

Now that I've abandoned all hope of a faithful adaptation of the book, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what depths Jackson will plumb in his new role as Master of Middle Earth.

[Mrs Figg]

one word. Tauriel.

I'm all for extra scenes on the EE DVD, but if they dont advance the plot they should be offered in the special features menu where people can take or leave them.
I liked how this was done with EE LotR, a bit similar to how the appendices function in the books.

besides, it gives Petty more footage to edit!

[widfara]

Hopefully, we'll get more insight into the species of Thranduil's transport.

[Mrs Figg]

I can virtually hear Petty busily editing that new version from here. Bet thats why he's missing today.

[Pettytyrant101]

I am at work on it indeed Mrs Figg. (Although I have also been out and about from my barrel- visiting Maw and Paw for New Year greetings
As usual Pretty got everyone in the family to make a set of new years resolutions, for me!

[Mrs Figg]

thats spooky. I just guessed thats what you were doing. Like that other time when I guessed you were... erm.. fiddling with Daves carrot.

[Pettytyrant101]

I suspect secret use of a palantir Mrs Figg!
In which case, check these apples out!

{{{That should put her off her muesli, or whatever it is Italians eat in the morning. Probably pizza. Hey I eat pizza in the morning! Ok, cold pizza. Well, ok cold bits of pizza dipped in buckie, those I can pry back off the carpet, or off a cat anyway.}}}

So I’ve done the math to try and figure out how old Kili and Fili were in human years when they died. They talk in the books about how young the were, but it is a little hard to grasp when everything is in Dwarf years.

In Dwarf years, Fili was 82 and Kili 77. Now if you take the average age of Dwarf when they die (340) and divide it by the average age of human (80) you get 4.25. Now divide 82 by 4.25 and 77 by 4.25 and you get their ages.

Fili was 19 when he died. Kili was 18.

In the cinema, I was hearing the Benny Hill theme tune in my mind while watching the chase through Goblin Town.

[widfara]

You're right widfara, it really does work!

http://youtubedoubler.com/6l9i

That is priceless, Eldorion!

[Norc]

I am laughing so hard at that, you have no idea!! I am looking forward to when the whole of that scene is put out and we can whatch it in its whole with that music

[Eldorion]

I'm glad you guys liked it. I showed it to my brother and we were giggling over it together. He said he's going to start humming the Benny Hill theme in the theatre later today.

Also, YouTube Doubler is a great site and I'd recommend it to anyone.

[Norc]

it is so the best thing ever made!

[Amarië]

You're right widfara, it really does work!

That was bloody brilliant!!

[Ally]

The escape from Goblin Town was actually one of my favourite scenes

[chris63]
