Bottom right corner FTW. All other corners are impure!

Looks good for me, not a serif in sight.

Topher Grace... You keep saying that name. I do not think that is who you think that is.

But in seriousness, you guys are doing an awesome job. Keep it up!

Don't say anything until I've said what I've got to say. I've listened to FIYH for almost three years now and I've never taken them as seriously as I should have. They are the strangest, coolest, most genuine podcasters I've ever listened to; and the thing that scares me about them is how good they make me wish I was. Help me, FIYH. Help me become like you. I mean, I am so amazing... but I'm not perfect... you are... give me that power...so I can abuse it.

Props to Iñárritu as he did some amazing things with Birdman; but as far as achievement in directing goes, what Linklater accomplished is on a different level. I think Birdman deserved best picture, but Linklater should have taken home the directing oscar.

Jackson made a big point about filming in 3D HFR, and "future-proofing" the Hobbit movies. I'm confident that 20 years from now, LOTR will hold up visually better than the Hobbit will. Was Dain CG? He looked so fake in his introduction that I wanted to just leave. Azog did look very real in his death scene, but I never thought Bolg looked any good. Just a silly cartoon.

Avatar made great points, and I agree with most of them, but I actually thought Freeman's Bilbo was one of the best parts of this movie. He gave me my only chuckle: his reaction when Thranduil confronted him about the incidents in Mirkwood. Maybe he would have been a less fascinating part of a great movie, but this was no great movie.

I'm not a purist, but only a fraction of the events of this movie were represented in the book in any way. This isn't a problem if the movie turns out great, but in this case, it's just a crappy rewrite.

Mr. Shore, what happened? So many beats didn't land due to a score that couldn't find the right tone.

This movie was missing some establishing shots. Up on the pillar where Thorin went to meet Azog, the dwarves split up and they kept cutting between them; on the move, without establishing where they were. I didn't need a geolocation, but I needed more information than just a head shot with a sky in the background. In fact I found a lot of the editing choices in this film appalling. How many honest and trustworthy eyes saw cuts of this movie before its release?

All in all, I find myself a bit saddened by how these films turned out. I had hoped for the best, and I even had myself convinced for a while that AUJ was much better than it is (It's still the only one of the three I find tolerable). I was pretty young when Episode I came out, and I didn't grow up with Star Wars, so I guess I can say that Peter Jackson is my George Lucas. I spent most of BotFA pondering what happened to him– where his senses went. LOTR was certainly no fluke, so I've got no explanation for it all.
