Honestly, the magic aspect fits within the willing suspension of disbelief because that's part of this world. That's OK. Characters get beat up, maimed, killed, etc. in these stories through means that would do the same to you or me... and that's fine too, because they've set that as an expectation in this world. But they don't get a scratch from a 200-foot fall. It's an inconsistency that sticks in my craw and breaks the rules they've set up. Willing suspension of disbelief only works if you set the rules at the beginning and play by those rules throughout.

Thorin was pretty bruised and beat up looking at the end of the movie. Why doesn't my preview of this movie work? It says its good until May 24?

When does this movie come out?

Next up: debate on whether lightsabers really can be constructed, and if it is really possible to force choke a bitch.

Thanks!

yes and yes

I don't think a lightsaber would be a very good real life weapon. Seems like it would light everything it touched on fire, and be as dangerous to the wielder as it would be to the opponent.

Plus, burning flesh really stinks.

Yeah I agree. I guess the green is the smaug?

Therein lies your problem.

Can't wait! Not too crazy about it being split up into 3 movies but I want more!

Oh, I'm planning on sneaking in through the side door and I'm also bringing my own popcorn.
