I think they did a nice job backing into LOTR storyline, and I gather that Tolkien was a big fan of appendices that had more info than the basic book.

    On that same note, you took no exception to a major plot change on Malificent?
    I've never read the book Malificent so I wasn't aware there was a difference between it and the movie.

    As for The Hobbit, I figure it would have made two very good 3 to 3+ hour movies without the extraneous stuff. Sure they tied it into LOTR but really, they had to otherwise the appearance of Legolas would make even less sense.

    Again, it's just a pet peeve of mine. You and my wife aren't the only people to tell me they have a differing opinion. My best friend came up to visit for a few days between x'mas and new years and he agrees with you two as well............LOL

    If you mean the Disney version yes...........about 1.5 million years ago..........LOL

    But my memory of Sleeping Beauty tells me that yes, Malificent is quite different.

    I've watched the first 3 seasons of Last Man Standing on Netflix. I love this show! I even started rewatching it. There hasn't been a show this good since the first 2 seasons of Community and first 3 seasons of Eureka. Loved both those shows, but the later seasons were long in the tooth; especially Community.

    Movie wise, I've watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 about six times since November. I just love this movie; the story, the characters, the graphics, and everything about it. It is just a good movie. Hell, now I want to watch it again!
    Yay! Cigars!

    I hear you on HTTYD 2

    We bought it when it came out and I've watched 3 or 4 times since. Most recently a week or so back we watched 1 and 2 back-to-back.

    Watched Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford in The Frisco Kid last night.....it was on one of the movie channels. I hadn't seen it in years. As usual, Gene rocks and it was a really good movie. If you've never seen it yet, it's a good one to put on your "watch" list.

    Just for grins momma and I attended a Wheel taping out in Las Vegas a few years ago. We were way, way, way, WAY in the back. Was surprised how big the audience was - it was crazy...

    You should be watching Last Man Standing too. I would imagine you would love the occasional digs on the democrats...
