Welcome to the December 13, 2013 Post Game Show for Mojo Friday!
I've been a Tolkien fan forever. Well, since I was in the 5th grade or so (nearly 50 years ago, wow!) ... when I 1st read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Not the first time, I read it annually I think for many years, and then sporadically after college. So today was a jaunt off to see part 2 of The Hobbit. An 11:30 showing, the 1st of the day ... having taken a vacation day from work in order to do so.
Our poll question is about your plans for the movie, but in the comments ... is there a movie you remember going off to see on the day it opened, and planning for that long in advance? What was it?
I enjoyed the movie, but (obviously) they left it hanging right in the middle of the action in going to the last part of the movie and book. Oh well. The representation of Smaug the dragon was awesome, I think the best I've seen, and the scenes set with the dwarves and Smaug "under the mountain" were a lot of fun to watch. I enjoyed it!
And now for the fun!
