The Hobbit

So I saw the movie yesterday, and realized within the first five minutes or so that I have a serious Hobbit problem.

I have this book memorized.

No, really! I didn't reread before going to the film, because I frequently find Jackson's attempts at matching Tolkien's tone unsatifying, so the last time I read The Hobbit was... ... ...Eight months ago? Nine? Something like that, anyway.

Didn't help. Still knew it backwards and forwards.

I enjoyed myself anyway! Mom and I agreed right while we were watching that even if the rest of the movie were to suck, it'd have been worth price of admission for the washing up song. That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!

ExpandThere was one change that really, really bugged me... )
