In theatres: 'Desolation of Smaug' | SPOILERS

Yes, easily, not sure what it proves though regards her screentime given a pic is one frame of 24 in a second.

Oh.

lolololololol. u're wrong.

Tell you what Norc- spend the next 6 hours editing the film in detail and then tell me I am wrong.

i will.

Good, it'll be nice to have someone else do all the work for a change!   

I noticed something when I was editing DOS I hadnt before- how does Beorn get back in his house?

It sounds like he just lifts the latch and walks in- but the dwarves barred the door. And they couldn't unbar it as they dont know if he will be a bear or not and come in and attack them.
So how come in the morning its unbarred again, even though everyone is asleep when he returns?

And for that matter how does he know who Thorin is and how the buggery does he know they have to get to the mountain by Autumn?

something that irritates me most about the Bilbo Smaug scenes and it really bugged me in the cinema, was Bilbo spends most of the time completely distracted by the slippy sliding Arkenstone. WHO DOES THAT??? srsly? you are confronted by a massive T-Rex that can turn you into ash for merely existing, let alone stealing his jools, and Bilbo gets distracted by the Arkenstone. That would be the last of my worries. he spends the entire time trying to grab the jewel and less on staying alive, its preposterous. Its irritating, I just wanted to shout 'leave the fucking jewel and have the famous chat with Smaug'. Its probably as important as the iconic chat with Gollum, it shouldnt have been turned into another mini chase scene for crying out loud!

You will be glad to know Mrs Figg I managed to sort that too- no more chase scene during the convo, no more sliding for miles on a bed of gold chasing a jewel about.

Frankly I deserve some sort of medal for saving that iconic scene   (even if I do say so myself)

I would like to watch it, because that scene with Smaug was underwhelming. Smaug actually bored me, which is a terrible thing.

Its pretty much sorted- only bit I had to leave in that I didnt want to is Smaug's 'precious' line about the Ring- as otherwise I have no explanation for why Bilbo takes the Ring off- but I am looking at that- hopefully by the time of the EE I will have created a filter that mimics the Ring effect so he doesnt take it off.

The conversation is closer to the book and Smaug flies off when he learns about Lake Town from Bilbo.
Looking at how that section of film was edited together I am 99% certain the entire dwarves going in, gold furnace crap was not originally in it and has been inserted between two scenes in the conversation.

Maybe he remembered to look for the key under the doormat   

Still wouldnt work- they barred the door from the inside!

Yeah, but a ludicrous situation demands a ludicrous solution

Maybe he came down the chimney given the film was out over xmas.

Where's a good site to get a torrent, btw?

I use kickass.to

I just go here and search for what I am looking for-

https://torrentz.eu/

Thanks, guys. I'll check 'em out.

Kickass is one of the torrent sites that search page checks.
Kickass is in my experience one of the better more reliable torrent sites, always worth checking out the comments section too on there before downloading anything.

Azog teaming up with the Necromancer reminds me of Nute Gunray working for Sidious in The Phantom Menace.

A guy with a personal vendetta against one of the good guys, hooks up with an even bigger bad guy to increase his chance of accomplishing his mission. But the lesser bad guy doesn't seem to understand the big bad guys' final vision. The big bad guy doesn't give a shit about you, and is just using you as a means to his "final solution."

The Necromancer tells Azog that all will die. Well, that means you too Azog.

It reminds me of that stupid line in ROTK, "The time of the orc has come." What? Do you really think Sauron's aim is to set up some kind of orc paradise?

Jeez.
