In today's episode, our host begin their review of the third and final installment of the Hobbit triology - The Battle of Five Armies. As usual, they debate the movies strengths and weaknesses. After all this time, is it better or worse than they remember?

Luke is mad about this one, folks, calling it “one of the worst adaptations” they have ever covered. Laura from the “Why the Book Wins” podcast and YouTube channel joins the show to talk about this movie she'd never seen in this final installment of Peter Jackson's overstuffed Hobbit trilogy adapting the book by J.R.R. Tolkien. In episode 245, Luke, James, and Laura wonder why Tauriel doesn't seem to care about anything but Kili, judge the value of more Lord of the Rings references, learn the tragic backstory of a CGI dwarf, explore the potentials of a rated-R extended edition, and finally cast their votes on which was better: the book or the movies!

Richard joins Fr. Andrew to read chapter 9 of The Hobbit, “Barrels Out of Bond.” We meet the Elvenking, learn about the Wood Elves' fondness for wine, and Bilbo does what it takes to acquire his great title of “Barrel Rider.” Also, there is no Tauriel. Not even a little bit. And where is Legolas? No idea.

Τα πάντα γύρω από το Lord of the Rings Το One Pod to Rule Them All συνεχίζεται! Σειρά έχει η πολύπαθη τριλογία των Hobbit, ένα στο περίπου prequel του Lord of the Rings, και όλα όσα της έδωσαν τη μορφή που πήρε στους κινηματογράφους.Μετά τα Lord of the Rings, το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες ξαναβλέπει τις τρεις ταινίες του Peter Jackson και, προσπαθώντας να τις αντιμετωπίσει δίκαια, αναρωτιέται αν η ρίζα του προβλήματος ήταν ακριβώς η απόπειρα να μετατραπεί η ιστορία σε prequel της μεγαλύτερης κινηματογραφικής τριλογίας όλων των εποχών.Ποια πραγματικά γεγονότα ενέπνευσαν τον Tolkien σε σχέση με το ταξίδι των Νάνων ως το Erebor; Ποιες είναι οι διαφοροποιήσεις μεταξύ της πρώτης έκδοσης του Hobbit σε σχέση με τη δεύτερη εκδοχή που προέκυψε μετά τη συγγραφή του Lord of the Rings από τον Tolkien, και πώς αυτές μοιάζουν κατά κάποιον τρόπο με τον αναθεωρητισμό της Warner Bros. και του Peter Jackson στη κινηματογραφική μεταφορά; Ποια είναι η αλήθεια για την απομάκρυνση του Guillermo del Toro από το πρότζεκτ, τι ρόλο έπαιξε το απόλυτο φιάσκο των δικαιωμάτων μεταξύ πέντε στούντιο και γιατί αναγκάστηκε ο Jackson να βασιστεί τόσο πολύ στο CGI;Ποιο είναι το ξεχασμένο σκάνδαλο μεταξύ της Warner Bros. και του σωματείου ηθοποιών της Νέας Ζηλανδίας και τι ορίζει το διαβόητο “Hobbit Law” που θεσπίστηκε και ταλαιπωρεί ακόμα τους ηθοποιούς της χώρας; Γιατί οι ταινίες λειτουργούν καλύτερα ως ταινίες φαντασίας και όχι ως ταινίες Lord of the Rings, πόσο αξέχαστη είναι ακόμα η αρχική εισαγωγή των Νάνων στο Unexpected Journey, και γιατί είναι η σχέση τους με τον Bilbo που δίνει παλμό στις ταινίες όταν της δίνεται έμφαση; Τι πήγε σωστά και τι λάθος με την Tauriel, τι ευχαριστιόμαστε πολύ σε κάθε ταινία, γιατί έκλαιγε ο Ian McKellen στα γυρίσματα και γιατί προτείνουμε το extended edition του Battle of Five Armies;Επίσης τι επαναδόμηση θα κάναμε στην υπάρχουσα τριλογία, πόσο φανταστικά πέρασε έρποντας ο Benedict Cumberbatch, τι δουλειά έχει η Saoirse Ronan στον ρόλο του Thranduil, και πόσο swag μπορεί να έχει ο αξιολάτρευτος Bombur. Α και βασικά, I have a wee proposition, if you don't mind giving me a few moments of your time. Would you consider... JUST SODDING OFF!

In this episode Andrew and Don discuss the Silver Medalist's, the Mid-Tier heroes of MESBG.  Rather than taking an analytical approach to the topic they discuss six popular heroes in this bracket: Tauriel, Balin the Dwarf, King of Moria, Cirdan, The Shade, The Spider Queen and Gorulf Ironskin In their other usual segments they give their thoughts on what we may see  in the next edition of the MESGB rule set, how they go about building an army list and Andrew navigates through a little MESBG word association.  Finally they revisit their narrative segment where they follow the adventures of Garthur the Dwarf Ranger and the mysterious nameless woman he's traveling with.

Discussion of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies [Extended Edition] Join Maggie and Cam for two hours of praising Martin Freeman. This episode explores Peter Jackson’s final Middle-earth movie and its unexpectedly strong acts of interpretation. We discuss the fascinating deviations of tone, scope, and character in this film, including Gandalf’s knowledge of Bilbo’s Ring, the surreal representation of Thorin’s inner turmoil, and Tauriel’s contagious love story. Dwarves finally get some real character development in this version of the story, and Maggie suggests that Bilbo’s big moment is different here. Cam offers theories about bridges, both literal and narrative, and the importance of legacy to Tolkien’s villains. We also celebrate the goats, sheep, pigs, and moose-deer-elk in this glorious film. And Bofur comes back. During our Second Breakfast, Maggie asks some provocative questions about emotional manipulation, artistic intent, and creative responsibility – inspired by A Little Life, This Is Us, and The Haunting of Hill House.

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.

¿Quien se cree la historia de amor de Tauriel cuando los enanos debían oler a culo de orco tras meses caminando sin ducharse? Uno de los podcast más irrisorios que hemos publicado, y eso es mucho decir...

Today's episode of Check IT/Round Table: Reviews of Books, Movies, and Music. . . and Other Stuff features a discussion with Onna and Bob on the attributes of Peter Jackson's first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Who are the most favourite characters in the show? Gandalf? Frodo? Legolas? Aragorn? Sam? What is up with Onna's staunch belief in British actors? Why does Bob endorse Arwen? And why can't we compare Tauriel and Arwen? It's all here, where we keep it real and funny. . . in five minutes or less.:) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/onnabob/support

Beauty and the Bitch are taking on part three of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" series. Will they be more bitchy than before? Will "The Hobbit" movies continue to be unneccarily long? What happened to Smaug? Can we hold our own attention? If anyone can do it, Beauty and the Bitch can! We continue on our path of jokes at the expense of Benedict Cumberswizzle, we mourn Smaug, we salute  Martin Freeman (and his Bilbo), and we complain about everything. We also continue to confront the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on this invented melodrama? Not to be missed is (OF COURSE) the shade we are serving on a silver platter....and now I'm hungry. What's for second breakfast??? I DIGRESS.

We also face the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on this invented melo-drama (we're actually kinda there for it!).

The Nicks discuss the consequences of sleeping, mid-day naps, getting lost in the fog, being ambushed by wights, running naked in the sun, singing about "old Fatty Lumpkin", and the history of Angmar and the small Kingdoms of former Arnor. Maps Map of Middle-earth  LoTRproject.com interactive map - Caution: spoilers for new readers! Map of the Small Kingdoms of former Arnor Notes for this episode What Happened Last Time?: The Hobbits have found possibly the strangest thing in Middle-earth in the form of Tom Bombadil. “Master”, “eldest”, “he is as you see him” are just some of the terms used to describe the who and what of good ol’ Tom. Through song and tale he weaves his knowledge and divulges the hearts and goings on of the trees and other fantastic beasts in the Old Forest, and he even knows a thing or two about the Ring, though it curiously doesn’t seem to affect him very much, if at all. Now the Hobbits, are laid to rest before venturing forth from the house of Tom Bombadil back toward the road, and then toward Rivendell. The Story in this Chapter: Waking Leave taking Goldberry is calling after them! A view of the road - but not really An unexpected nap Fog on the Barrow-downs “Follow me!”... “Where are you guys?” Atop the Barrow Within the Barrow Garbed in white, with circlets, and rings A sword lay across their necks A SEVERED ARM crawls toward them like a macabre spider Calling out to Tom Bombadil Frodo finds his voice again. Running in the sun to shake off the darkness Fatty Lumpkin - Tom’s pony! On the road to Bree. Other comments or observations: Angmar!  Carn Dum!   Nick Andrew LOVES THESE PLACES!! Referenced in the Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies as the reason Bolg travels north and Tauriel and Legolas follow him -- the threat of a resurrected Angmar is too much to ignore! LotRO Players who completed the first major story arc of the game's narrative got to know Angmar extremely well. Most of you even got to play through a raid into Carn Dum itself. Speaking of Carn Dum, it's an oddity in the world of Middle-earth as we don’t exactly know what that name means… we can assume it is a compound of Elvish and Dwarvish, in which case it means “the Red Halls.”  Creepy, eh? Angmar was founded in midway point through the third age of ME with a singular purpose… DESTROY any and all remnant of the North that brought about Sauron’s demise at the War of the Last Alliance.   Witch-king!!!!!! Notable Difference(s) from Films: We get a small shot of the fog-laden Barrow-downs as one of the Nazgul looks over it atop his horse. Locations/Distance Traveled/Distance apart: East of the HoTB - up into the Barrow-downs, then northward toward the main road leading into the village of Bree. New Characters: The barrow wight Info/History from Other Titles/Sources: Lots of information about Carn Dum and Angmar in Tolkien’s various other published works. I highly encourage you to check them out -- even if you just google it. What to Watch for in the Next Chapter: BREE!

Three key themes are considered in the context of how they will follow through into The Hobbit: There and Back Again: 1) Dark versus Light; 2) Tauriel and Legolas and how they represent the Elvish portion of the story; and 3) Return of the King, Erebor style.

  In this episode we get together to give a review of ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’. Did the movie meet our expectations? What to think of Tauriel and the love-triangle?

Mind Grapes: Lots on our post-holiday mind grapes, including surprises from Brandon Sanderson and social commentary from Margaret Atwood; cooking with ratios; playing very old video games; and, of course, our thoughts on The Hobbit (spoiler alert: we loved it, and we couldn't be happier about Tauriel). Class Z(ed): Bits and bites on professional development, including learning about assessment, perception, and camaraderie at Academic Librarians in Public Service; getting experience running the Cool Tools Unconference; our jobs this term; and our final library school courses.
