PORTAL: Chapter 3...

Is up on my site today, as the snippets continue!

Saw The Hobbit this weekend...

It was *awesome*.

Despite adding pieces here and there (most notably we see Radagast making the discovery of the Necromancer's presence in Mirkwood, and a meeting of a significant portion of the White Council following that news), Jackson stuck closer to the original than he did in the LotR movies.


( Here there be SPOILERS. )

Also, we saw several previews for some potentially interesting movies, such as Jack the Giant-Slayer and Oblivion. With respect to the latter, though, Tom Cruise has either sealed a pact with the Devil for Eternal Youth, or special effects and plastic surgery have *REALLY* come farther than I thought, because he looked hardly older in the Oblivion preview than he did when he played in Top Gun!
