Ye gods, I’d forgotten how long these movies were.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, 16 May 2020, DVD
These films should really be titled Gandalf the Gleeful: Tormentor of Hobbits. And I think we’re supposed to be somewhat charmed by the dwarves’ rowdy ways, but those jackholes ate all of Bilbo’s cheese, and THAT CANNOT BE BORNE. Plus, Martin Freeman is perfect as Bilbo, and having Thorin be a constant jerk to him is a great way to forecast his heel turn. And, I mean, every collection of dudes obsessed with their epic dudeness needs a friend who’s like, “Wait, no, what you’re doing is dumb and you’re not thinking with your brain.”
