I meant that you heard about it right away and knew it was coming. I only bought two copies of it so far. The special set with the bookends and the Target one with the Lego Legolas. I have 4 copies of the first one.

Having never read the books, how did Smaug bring Saurons eye into the ring…, obviously when he said precious but I'm puzzled with how the eye magically finds it. Why for so long was the ring just a dreamy area with it on. As Bilbo could more or less wear it for ages and Sauron didn't seem to know it was on.

Ween, barely resisted buying that bookend set today, whats your thoughts on it? Do all the discs make it worthwhile? I got the Lego edition this mroning and am trying to convince myself I need to go back tomorrow and grab the bookend edition.
That little bit isn't in the book. It's not really so much the eye finding it because it didn't but more Smaug sense something is different about this ring. That was just showing it's something special.
Interesting. So now he wont be able to wear the ring anymore for more than 5 seconds just like Lord of the Rings as the eye will see him.
Though I loved all the darker atmosphere in this film. The dark shadows of Necromancer/Sauron and the flashy build up. It was so fascinating. I truly loved how dark this film was, as in that chilling experience of a magical universe. Dark as in you don't know what else was lurking and about to show itself. Creepy good.
Shadow detail was so amazing in this film. I've always loved that low lit warm cosy feeling from all the places like Bree/The Prancing Pony and such. Like it was Sherlock Homes or something but magical.
Though to be honest, this was the kind of chilling darkness I was expecting from Lord of the Rings when it came out. It kind of causes Lord of the Rings not to feel as evil. Fellowship did have that magical wizardry feel but not as dark as this film as everything is starting to be unleashed.

I hope by 5 minutes of romance, you mean Evangeline Lilly taking off some clothes.

She does, but you don't see anything because she glows very bright.

Hobbit TDOS had a running time of 161 (AUEJ 169), so maybe that bodes well for getting a little more sauce this time. 20 mins or so might be nice...

We need hobbit on hobbit action.
No not at all. Sauron isn't strong enough yet to sense the ring and isn't actively looking for it. It was just a plot device to show why Smaug could sense something special about the ring. As far as Fellowship being dark it is for part of it but most of it should be bright like AUJ because the darkness hasn't hit yet.
Interesting. I always found ROTK to be the darkest of that trilogy. You're at the edge of one wrong decision ending the world. DOS is dark as it should be and TABA should be the darkest before lightning up at the end.

Any word on when we can expect the first TABA trailer?
Probably June/July sometime.
