Podcasts about Dol Guldur

After Romania, one night in Rome.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.When our ancestor committed the first murder, was it rage, or fear that drove them to the deed?(Evening near the Metropole, Roma, Italia)"I think you've done well," Riki congratulated me as she terminated her phone call. Word had come down that her replacement was on the way. Our profile had been updated back at State and they clearly wanted to bring in the 'real professionals'. There also had been a miscommunication. I was far too stressed to be reasonable now.Some undeserving smuck was about to be at the receiving end of my wrath for no better reason than I was at my limit of accepting any further alterations to my life. In hindsight, I was being totally irrational. At that moment in time, I didn't care whose day I was ruining. Sometimes I can be a jerk and an idiot at the same time.The US State Department apparently thought I couldn't dictate who was, or wasn't, a member of 'Unit L', we now had our own designation within Javiera's expanding task-force. The government had a random name generator for this shit and we got the letter 'L'. Maybe that device didn't think we were going to last long enough to matter. Anyway, I took the phone and hit redial. Riki gave me an 'I'm puzzled' look."Who am I talking to?" I inquired."Ms, who are you?" he demanded, since my caller ID said Riki and, unless I used my high, squeaky voice, I obviously sounded like a guy."I'm Cáel Nyilas. Who is this?" I replied."I'm Bill A. Miller, Director of the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service. What seems to be the problem, Mr. Nyilas?" He was rather uptight about the call-back."Since we are working together, why don't you call me Cáel?" I politely requested. "I'll call you Willy.""My name is Bill, but you can call me Director Miller," he corrected me. "The reason for your call is?""It is Willy, or Dick; your choice," I countered. "I don't call my boss 'Director' and I worship the ground she walks on. You are not even in her league. Also, I've had bad experiences with guys named Bill which are too painful to explain right now."That was true. One was friend taking a shower and leaving me alone with his mother. The other was early on in my career when I confused a girl named Bonnie with her real name 'Bill'. I was my own personal 'The Crying Game'. I didn't handle that episode well."Besides, I didn't call to discuss name-calling. I want to know how many agents work for you.""What does that have to do with anything?" he grumbled."You are quick with the questions while painfully bereft of answers," I snorted. "Don't make me Google this too.""Over two thousand," he stopped being a total ass. "Is there anything else I can tell you that Miss Martin should have been able to tell you?" Ooops, Back to being an ass."Riki's being physically restrained from taking her phone back by some of my educationally-challenged, illegal alien, unskilled labor force of questionable loyalty," I outrageously lied. It was an odious habit of mine that I'd cultivated vigorously over the past few weeks. "Two thousand humans, thanks. Is Riki's replacement a guy, or a girl? Wait, who cares? Just send their picture and I'll let you know where to send their replacement.""Are you threatening my people?" he simmered."No. That would make me an uncooperative and nefarious nuisance," I evaded. "Of course, when a person sticks their hand into a functioning garbage disposal, you don't blame the device. You blame the moron who stuck their hand in." From the perspective of our relationship, I was the garbage disposal."That definitely sounds like a threat," he responded. He was going to stick his hand in anyway."Your inability to comprehend the nuances possible with the English language is not why I called and not something I feel I can educate you about, given my current time constraints. Just have one of your insipid flunkies send me the picture. I need to purchase duct tape and an out-of-the-way storage space," I informed him."By the way, in the spirit of legal chicanery, could you tell me how long it will take for Riki Martin's name to come back up in the rotation? Let's figure 36 hours between each hot-shot leaving DC and their eventual inability to return phone calls," I wanted to make sure he knew I was taunting his pompous self. (Me being pompous and unhelpful didn't cross my mind at that moment.)"Let me make myself clear, Mr. Nyilas," he repeated. "Not only can you not dictate terms to the US government, you are not even the team's designated leader." I wasn't? Fuck him. I had tons of useless members of the Alphabet Mafia in front of my name, all loudly proclaiming my numerous accolades.Of everyone on the team, I had the most: NOHIO (Number One House Ishara Official), HCIESI-NDI, (Havenstone Commercial Investments Executive Services' Intern -- New Directive Initiative, I didn't make that one up, I swear), MEH (Magyarorszag es Erdely Hercege) and UHAUL (Unpaid Honcho Assigned to Unit L). I liked that last one, so that was how I was going to sign off on all my reports now."First off, I AM in charge, Willy. Without me, there is no Unit L. I quit, and then what? In case you missed it, I can't be drafted or threatened by you. If you think you can replace me, please do so right now and let me get back to my life -- you know, the thing that actually puts money in my pocket.Besides, I am not refusing to take anyone you see fit to put on MY team. I'm just not going to tell you where I'm going to take them to. I suspect they are adults and can find their way home, eventually, Willy.""Mr. Nyilas, you are an unbelievably fortunate amateur and novice intellectual in a situation that demands experience and professionalism. It is time for you to step back and let the people who know what they are doing take over. Just play your part and we'll make sure you get due credit for following orders and behaving," he unleashed his fair-smelling bile."I am following your orders; your procedures dictate that a member of the State Department will be on this team," I kept my calm. "As one of the people who actually has experience with this situation, I'm letting you know how things work in the field. Every person you send will be misplaced, thus you will have to send someone else. Alerting you to the need to stay on top of your job -- sending someone else -- sounds to me like common sense advice in this circumstance.""That is not going to happen, Nyilas. If something happens, " he got out."Willy, duct tape is plentiful and cheap. Kidnapping -- thus hostage keeping -- is virtually a religion in Southern Italy. And though I am already wired into the local criminal underground, I'm just not going to be able to help you, or them. I'll make up some implausible excuses as the need arises. So now you know the score. The next move is yours," I smiled."The next words out of your mouth had better be 'I'll behave', or the State Department will revoke your passport and have stern words with the Republic of Ireland over your diplomatic status," Willy warned me."I'll behave," I fibbed. Riki snatched the phone out of my hand."Sir -- Director Miller, I want you to know I had nothing to do with Mr. Nyilas' tirade," Riki apologized. "He stole my phone.""I did." and "oww!" I hollered in the background. "She ground her heel into my instep. the fiery little minx." I was propping up her excuse because I owed her for verbally taking a dump on her boss, the ass-heap back in Romania. Riki punched me."Ms. Martin, do we need to reconsider your employment, or can we rely on you to re-organize Unit L before Ms. McCauley (her replacement) arrives?" Willy lectured."Director Miller, ""Call him Big Willy," I whispered to her. "He loves that 'Big Willy' style."This time she hit me in the thigh. My ballistic vest had gotten in the way of her first hit, but she was a quick learner."How can you know a song from 1997, yet not know that Russia invaded Georgia in 2008?" Riki put her hand over the phone and hissed at me."Ah," Pamela teased. "Somebody is a Will Smith fan." Riki looked away.I wasn't sure what to make of the Will Smith -- Ricky Martin combo forming in my mind. Will was one of my manly icons. Hey, he was a stud, scored numerous hotties in his film career and married Jada Pinkett Smith. What's not to love? Growing up, I wanted to be like Will Smith. When/if I ever finished growing up, I wanted to be like George Clooney."Director Miller," Riki tried again. "He's lying. From my personal observations and with supporting personality profiles provided by other members of the task force, I can guarantee you that Mr. Nyilas is unreliable and untrustworthy. Sir, I've watched Romani males hide their wallets and their daughters when he walks by." Okay, wasn't that last bit a lie?"that last bit a lie?es hide their wallets and their daughters when he walks by. provided by other members However, unless she has been cross-trained as a waitress at a gang-affiliated nightclub, a day-care worker for the criminally insane, plus consistently wins at Texas hold 'em, she's going to be out of her element here.""No sir, but Mr. Nyilas likes me, I'm not sure why," she glared at me. I poked her in the boob to help clarify the matter. Riki slapped my hand. Virginia punched me in the shoulder. I decided to poke Virginia in her ballistic-covered breast, hoping she was jealous for the attention. I was wrong. They both hit me again.Had this been sexual harassment, they would have hated this job and despised me. Since this was me being my painfully childish self, well, I was still annoying, but also adorable. Put it this way: if a woman could not only pepper spray a man making cat-calls at her, and was even encouraged to do so, wouldn't that de-stress the situation?"Director Miller, I don't want to stay on this assignment, yet I'd be remiss if I didn't explain some of the numerous pitfalls of working with Unit L. Every one of them is comfortable being a walking arsenal. I'm on my way to have a ballistic vest tailored for me because I'm the only one in the unit without one. I have no doubt that any of them could kill me with their bare hands in less than 5 seconds if they so desired," she explained."You would think they would want a more effective combatant with them," Miller grew icy, suspecting duplicity on Riki's part -- moron. She looked at me over the phone."Sir, I think they like me because I know I don't belong in a firefight. They can count on me to cower behind cover while the bullets are flying. That allows the rest to kill unimpeded by having to keep an eye on me," she said.Pause."One of them did show me how to recognize and start various grenades. She said if I was ever the last one alive, it would give me 'options'."Pause."Ms. Martin, don't cancel your flight back to DC yet. I'm going to give Ms. Castello a call to see what her assessment of the situation is," Willy allowed. "Good-bye.""I can't believe I talked him into making me stay with you people," Riki moaned.Our little caravan was slowing to a stop outside the Metropole Hotel. It was Hana's choice for a Roman meeting location. A restaurant and a hotel room, all in one location. Rachel and Wiesława were ahead of us, checking things out. Hana had informed us that the Illuminati had two people watching her. This was going to be my last bit of time with Rachel for a while.(Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch, )Two new members of House Ishara were on their way to Rome. They'd be joined by two members of the House Guard of Andraste from Britain. The two Isharans were the first members of the House Guard of Ishara in over a thousand years. I didn't expect them to be the martial equals of Rachel, or Charlotte. Not yet. And anyway, that didn't matter. What mattered to me was that they'd volunteered for the task and Buffy felt they were the best we had.Another nomadic pack of House Hylonome Amazons had taken in the traumatized Zola. She had to stay in Romanian until the authorities finished up her part of the investigation. A mixed group from House Živa and Ishara (led by Helena) would handle security for Professor Loma, his family and the Lovasz sisters during their trip to New York.Aliz, his wife, was officially in House Ishara's custody. That was my best play at making sure she avoided summary justice for her 'betrayal' of House Hylonome. The whole group would be handed over to House Epona as soon as the Romanians cleared them for foreign travel. It helped my case that Aliz appreciated my warnings about the danger that both families were in from House Illuyankamunus.The occult nitpicking that allowed me to leverage this maneuver was accomplished by me doing yet another rarely done feat. In the name of Alkonyka Lovasz, House Ishara was sponsoring a new Amazon house. I could testify to the existence and matronage of the Goddess SzélAnya (without her permission), which was one of the stepping stones for acceptance.Vincent was going to stay in Germany for two days, then he was off to his home and daughters in Arlington Virginia, with a long convalescence and a rumored promotion. Mona and Tiger Lily were already on their way to New York as honor guard for Charlotte's body, courtesy of the US Air Force. The Amazons needed the USAF to do it because that was the only way we could get the Romanians to release her body.The Hylonome dead, they would be buried in a private plot after all the autopsies were done. I was absolutely sure the Hylonome would steal the bodies in due time and give them a 'proper' burial. Of the Mycenaeans, Red and one of his buddies still remained at large. Of Ajax's half-brother, Teucer, and the other previously wounded Greek warrior, there was no sign. Kwen and the other POWs remained in Romania to face a laundry list of charges. Her fate was unknown to me.My bodyguard was reduced, yet no one minded. The twin reasoning was that the Black Hand in Italy would provide some protection for me. The other was that I was in the birthplace of the Condottieri. Selena's sources strongly suspected that their HQ was close to Rome itself. I could have had more security by recruiting among the 'natives'.Various sources, some inside Italy, had suggested that the Carabinieri, Italy's military police force, had 'offered' to provide some protection. That was prompted by events surrounding my visits to Budapest  and  Mindszent, Hungary and the 'action' south of Miercurea Ciuc, Romania (no one wanted to call it a battle, even though the fight involved over 1000 Romanian Land Forces troops and half a squadron of the Romanian Air Force).My refusal of the offer caused a 'disruption'. This was a polite way of saying the Italians did not want me to enter their country. I wasn't being a jerk this time. Selena and Aunt Briana were both of the opinion that the Condo's recruited heavily from European military and paramilitary units -- particularly Western Europe. And that not all their 'new hires' had left active duty either.A peculiar circumstance then developed. The pretext for denying me entry was undercut by Hungary and Romania erasing me from their official investigation. I wasn't a threat (despite the burnt landscape and tombstones sprouting up in my wake.) Romania didn't want me to stay, Hungary decided they didn't want me back -- at the moment -- and the US/UK/Ireland were telling the Italians that I was a peach, or whatever implied that in diplomatic speech.There was a compromise finally reached by Riki and shadow forces that I couldn't put names to. I could come to Italy as long as my itinerary was relayed to Carabinieri. We could keep our side arms in holsters and our big guns as long as they weren't on our persons. I could go around without a Carabinieri bodyguard as long as I ignored them floating around me at a discreet distance. A liaison officer would meet me at the hotel to maintain the illusion that I was just a paranoid tourist.Delilah had to touch base with the British again, probably for the same reasons that the US wanted to replace Riki. While both Delilah and Chaz were military and seconded to MI-6, they weren't considered Intelligence Experts by the people at the helm. For that matter, they weren't even sure how Delilah had ended up at my side, killing multi-national terrorists in three separate countries inside of one month. That was very cinematic, not realistic. The idea of governments with shadow operatives 'sanctioning' people was not something that anyone in the 'know' wanted to talk about.Whether it was before the media, a US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, or a UK Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Select Committee this wasn't what these Department Heads wanted to discuss. Less anyone forget, my Congress and my President didn't, umm, get along.In my favor, I was an orphan from New Hampshire, both my US Senators were women and I'd worked on their campaigns or dated some of their volunteers. It might do me some good to call Dr. Kimberly Geisler at Bolingbrook to see what she could do politically. All that could wait.(Finishing Up)Selena Jovanović had the first of our two dark blue Alfa Romeo 159s, the one that disgorged Rachel and Wiesława. She, Saku and Odette would circle the block in case there was any trouble. Pamela had the driver's seat in my car. No one wanted me or Odette to drive because we didn't understand urban Italian street etiquette. It was Virginia, me and Riki in the backseat with Chaz up front with Pamela.Rachel gave the preliminary order to disembark. That meant the lobby was partially clear -- there were armed types about that seemed to be either Carabinieri, or understandable private security. Rome wasn't as dangerous as Mexico City (kidnap-wise), but events in London, Budapest and the Hungarian and Romanian countryside were putting people on edge. And those with enough money could buy some emotional comfort in the form of armed private contractors.Chaz took his H and K UMP-45, stock folded, out of the bag at his feet and secured it inside the right-side of his jacket. Three spare clips went inside a harness on his left. It was dreamlike as Virginia and I went through a similar, less heavily armed process. For FBI Girl, it was a 'carry-on' with flash-bang, concussion and smoke grenades, plus a few extra clips/mags for everyone.For me, it was a tomahawk, a second Gloc-22 and a bullet for everyone in the hotel, if that became necessary. As the car came to a stop in front of the main doors, I worked my way over Riki so that I would be the second person to exit the car. Chaz would be the first. Virginia got out on her side. Pamela would stay at the wheel -- Riki had an appointment with a tailor to keep.I felt it then, that sympathetic spiritual harmony I was one-third of. I looked up into the 'clear' Rome night. There she was, Bellatrix, the Amazon star in the Constellation of Orion. According to the Egyptian Rite, the Weave of Fate was nearly invisible by day, but by night, you could make out its strands in the motion of the stars. That was not something Alal had ever truly mastered. Still,I had a new phone since the charred remains of my old one were in some evidence locker in Budapest by now. That didn't mean I wanted to use it. I was getting squirrely about people I didn't want finding me, finding me. Chaz was in the lead, I was in the middle and Virginia covered my back. Rachel caught sight of us, gave a quick nod, and then she and Wiesława went for the elevators.Rachel would want to check out Hana's room before I got there -- if I got there. I called Odette."Hey Babe," Odette beamed excitement my way. She was in Rome and we had a guaranteed 24 hour layover. For a girl who thought her great adventure in life was going to end up being a high school trip to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell, she was in Nirvana."Hey to you too, Odette. I need a favor," I began."Sure," she chirped."In five minutes from, right now make sure Sakuniyas comes to see me and Hana in the restaurant by herself," I requested. Odette hesitated, taking in her knowledge of 'Cáel-speak'."No problemo Jeffe," she answered. She knew I was in some undefined trouble. We both knew that her body language would convey that unease to Saku, which was what I needed. See, I had a plan. I tapped Chaz, slowing him and thus allowing Virginia to bunch up with us."Do either one of you remember the movie

Erzittert vor dem mächtigen Zauberer Galagast! Er tritt auch auf Festivals auf!

Jeremy reviews the Ruins of Dol Guldur terrain kit.

Buenos días! Completamos la trilogía de la caja básica con el último escenario "Evasión de Dol Guldur". Un escenario que va a ponernos al límite y nos va a complicar mucho la vida, sobre todo si no tenemos un pool de cartas amplio. Como siempre esperamos que disfrutéis. 00:04:30 Espejo de Galadriel 00:42:17 Perdidos en Mordor 02:45:10 La voz de Saruman

The trilogy is finally over and all this exposition feels like a dead dragon on our backs. The conclusion of The Hobbit ends less like a Battle of Five Armies and more like a long painful groan. Erin and Brennan magically fight of two orc armies, a swarm of battle bats, Earth-eaters, trolls, and wargs while successfully brokering a peace between men, elves, and dwarves with no idea how they did it. Do not speak to ME about following the source material, clearly Peter Jackson didn't! Erin is so frustrated with the battle of Dol Guldur and Brennan decides that Galadriel's witch form looks more like Old Greg's fish-wife than an all powerful being. The movie is so boring that our hosts even wrote their own subplot, the father-son bonding story of Azog the Defiler and Bolg: reuniting by tearing dwarves apart. Ultimately the best thing about this movie is that the trilogy is finally over. Wow, that was sad. So, who wants to watch Lord of the Rings?

It's our first live Q&A episode of the season, which means Alan and Shawn have got our speculating caps on for another round of questions from our guests! We field questions on the married life of the Valar (but not in the way you're thinking), the size of Hobbit feet, and an almost forgotten fight between Galadriel and Dol Guldur. Plus, opinions on The Nature of Middle-earth, a booth review of the cutting of the Ring from Sauron's finger… and wings, schmings! We want to know: do Balrogs have the power of speech?

In this episode I talk a little bit about what I've been up to, the upcoming MESBG releases, and possibly my new favorite model in the game: The Necromancer. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/evan-zacovic3/support

And God help you if you are a phoenix, and you dare to rise up from the ash. A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying past.-Ani DiFrancoTo whom it may concern:Adam and John would like to offer their sincere condolences after the devastating loss of our back catalogue. These episodes will live on on our hearts as they now join the ranks of those taken too soon: James Dean, Alexander the Great, Walter Matthau, and many other people who are still alive but will be dying soon with so much left undone. We know that gifts mean nothing in this moment but we managed to pull up this old recording from the archives in which Adam and John talk about a fight between two fictional characters. They were happier times. God, he sounds so alive. It was truly a pleasure working with your father for 17 years. He will be deeply missed.With deepest sympathies, Tim Cook

With Smaug vanquished, Erebor & Dale restored, and Dol Guldur abandoned, a new era of peace for Middle-earth seems to have arrived. However, loose ends abound, as Gollum begins his desperate search for the precious, and Sauron begins to execute his master plan to utterly destroy Gondor and unleash his cruel tyranny upon all of Middle-earth.

Council of Elrond Session 19: 05192020 In which the professor discusses Galdor’s intent again, and the word “trove.” Elrond introduces Gandalf and it is discussed why he uses the name “Gandalf” instead of “Mithrandir.” It’s discussed why Gandalf took so long to decipher the identity of Bilbo’s ring. Gandalf acknowledges that it did take too long, but at least Sauron was even slower on the uptake. Gandalf talks about his consultation with Saruman and his trip to Dol Guldur and facing the necromancer. Saruman refuses to believe that Bilbo’s ring is the One Ring. Does Saruman blame/credit Ulmo for the “disappearance” of the ring into “the sea” in his passive conjecture?

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=182LA DESOLAZIONE DI SMAUG di Marco RespintiSi chiama hýbris, e nella tragedia greca, dalla Poetica di Aristotele in poi, traduce l'eccesso per superbia e l'orgoglio che prevarica, conducendo inevitabilmente alla rovina. La desolazione di Smaug, il secondo capitolo della trilogia cinematografica che il regista neozelandese Peter Jackson sta traendo da Lo Hobbit − il quinto lungometraggio, contando i tre de Il Signore degli Anelli, ispirato alle opere narrative più famose di J.R.R. Tolkien −, ne è colmo. Lo scrittore inglese era un aedo dell'introspezione dei cuori che abitano la commedia umana degli errori e il dramma storico del confronto con il destino, uno scaldo nell'affrescare la danza macabra delle vanità e del duetto epico tra l'eroico che si fa quotidiano e il quotidiano che si fa eroico. Solo le letture pusillanimi e superficialmente manichee possono dunque ridurre la sua narrativa (che è la traslitterazione del senso ultimativo del mito sul piano letterario) a un allegoria fantasy dello scontro tra il Bene e il Male, giacché non di questo egli tratta. Tutta la sua produzione letteraria e mitopoietica (perché Tolkien si cimentò a lungo e sapientemente anche con la riscrittura di miti e di saghe) è infatti un continuo interrogarsi sulla morte e sull'immortalità, e i suoi personaggi si muovono costantemente fra caduta e speranza, offrendo una galleria interminabile (nelle sue mille varianti quante sono le sfumature della libertà umana) di possibilità e di misure, di iati e di distanze, di abissi e di corrispondenze fra sé e la realtà più grande; quella che circonda tutti come in un abbraccio, che tutti contiene senza determinare alcuno e che in verità costituisce la vocazione di tutti, la quale – come sempre – può essere assunta e assecondata o rifiutata e sfuggita, oppure persino odiata e combattuta.La desolazione di Smaug coglie ancora una volta perfettamente l'animo di Tolkien, trasformandosi in un grande quadro narrativo in cui il tema costante è la tentazione a cui nessuno, seppur diversamente, sfugge. La tentazione di rinunciare o di strafare, la tentazione di andarsene o di esagerare, la tentazione di cedere o di redimersi da sé. Il tema è ancora quello del potere, buono o cattivo; anzi, buono e cattivo assieme. Il sapore è quello israelitico, biblico, in cui la regalità è un'arma a doppio taglio, come la spada, che consacra o uccide; un confine che è assieme ponte e barriera; una benedizione e al contempo una sciagura. Ci sono l'esodo e il cammino del ritorno, la patria agognata ma ancora negata, l'orrore e la generosità, i piccoli che diventano grandi e certi grandi che sono meschini, il tutto in un continuo rimescolamento di fronti che dipinge con realismo l'umana vicenda cui nessuno può sottrarsi.Mai titolo è stato più azzeccato. Questo secondo capitolo cinematografico tratto da Lo Hobbit è infatti il momento della desolazione, quello che la vita spirituale conosce bene e sa non essere un giudizio definitivo di disperazione ma la via stretta senza la quale poi non si spalancherebbe la porta larga delle consolazioni. Ché le consolazioni, come nella vita spirituale, verranno, l'anno prossimo, a Erebor, con il capitolo finale di questa seconda trilogia tolkieniana di Jackson.Ma c'è un ma. Ed è il rischio, serissimo, che lo spettatore perda clamorosamente l'occasione di questa magnifica meditazione, distratto dal film stesso. Una definizione de La desolazione di Smaug? Troppo. Troppo lungo questo secondo lungometraggio e troppo lunga l'intera operazione (bastavano certamente due film); troppo inutilmente lunghe certe sequenze e troppo, troppo corte altre, fin quasi alla banalizzazione (Beorn); troppi combattimenti − e troppo lunghi − e troppi elfi, così come troppo Radagast e un re Thranduil troppo esagerato; e soprattutto troppe libertà, al limite della caduta di tono (l'idillio tra il bel nano Kili e la selvaggia elfo femmina Tauriel, o certi dialoghi sgangherati tra il governatore di Pontelagolungo e il suo lacchè, per tacere di una battuta da caserma più contraria a Tolkien che alla decenza).Il regista Jackson ci ha abituati ad abbondanti interpretazioni e inserti che fino a oggi una loro logica l'hanno avuta; anche il suo Lo Hobbit letto dopo Il Signore degli Anelli, e quindi più "gotico" e dark, in fondo non tradisce lo spirito tolkieniano. Ma ne La desolazione di Smaug la cosa ottiene solo una narrazione distantissima dal testo de Lo Hobbit. Intendiamoci, Jackson eccelle ancora una volta nel dare forma alla Terra di Mezzo: le panoramiche e le ambientazioni sono straordinarie; il regno degli elfi silvani e il regno nanesco sotto la Montagna lasciano a bocca aperta; la fortezza diroccata di Dol Guldur e Pontelagolungo descrivono magnificamente il senso della decadenza che le pervade; e il suo drago Smaug è davvero magnifico. La recitazione di Richard Armitage (Thorin Scudodiquercia) è intensissima, Ian McKellen (Gandalf) sempre impeccabile, Martin Freeman un ottimo Bilbo Baggins e Ken Stott un Balin perfetto. Ma l'ordito del film è un videogame, e quel che ne soffre è la trama narrativa, debole, la più fragile di tutte le prove tolkieniane di Jackson (e la sontuosa colonna sonora cui ci ha abituati il compositore Howard Shore qui è praticamente inesistente). Verrebbe del resto da domandarsi sul serio cosa resti dell'uomo dietro la macchina da presa nel cinema odierno dove tutto è ormai tecnicamente possibile, e dove però tutto abbiamo già visto, il discrimine tra un prodotto e l'altro essendo solo la tecnologia che il budget può permettersi.Hýbris si diceva. Stavolta Jackson ha esagerato, seducendo lo spettatore solo per abbandonarlo. Un poco più di umiltà e qualche colpo ben assestato di forbice nel lavoro di postproduzione che sta ora ultimando per il capitolo finale dell'impresa farebbero un gran bene, regalandoci l'anno venturo la consolazione dopo la desolazione. Cioè il vero Tolkien.

L'Ombra non ha un volto. ma indossa una corona, quindi significa che ha un corpo e di conseguenza può essere combattuta! La Compagnia si lancia verso l'Ombra di Dol Guldur pronta a vincere, ma una vittoria sull'Ombra non è altro che fendente di spada nell'infinita guerra contro di essa, molte domande restano e oscurano anche i momenti di gioia.

Having rested at Erebor, the heroes set out through the Long Marshes. There they trudge southward toward their entry point in Mirkwood. Before they can enter the forest, however, bats from Dol Guldur intercept them.

It is the year 2946 of the Third Age, some five years after the Battle of the Five Armies. A great weight has been lifted from the peoples of the North and their spirits are no longer bound by the yoke of the beast Smaug and the horrors of Dol Guldur. As the fifth anniversary of the great alliance that threw back the armies of goblins and trolls approaches, there comes word that the byways and highways of wilderland are not yet truly safe. Dwarves are missing…! Having accepted the task set by Master Glóin, the Company has begun a dreary journey south along the Running River via the Stair of Girion and into the Long Marsh… The Marsh Bell has rung! Will the Company withstand the horrors revealed by the tolling bell? Will the Company survive its severest to date? Will the Company find the whereabouts of Masters Balin and Oin? And will the Company find its back to civilization? All of these questions will be answered in this final session.
