Hobbit 3d.

With my wife and friends.

It was a good movie although some bits annoyed me. (The dwarves have at least +5 in constitution since they survive falls and blows that should have killed them ten times over.) Without spoiling anything I can say that the movie basically has three storylines, all of them are based on something from the Hobbit or the other books. Some bits have been changed from how they went in the book but generally it was a good story.

Also it seems like they had to add a bit of padding to make the movie longer. One scene in particular adds nothing to the story and only exists to put some cool cgi fighting between two scenes that have a lot of talking, which is apparently too boring for the average moviegoer so the film had to have some ACTION.

Good movie though. I even liked the villains.

Almost forgot: I loved the music.

Saw The Hobbit, left the theater feeling victorious. I guess the movie did its job.

I don't get why Les Mis has to be based on the musical and not the book. Is post-Napoleonic France so tedious to watch that we have to have songs to get through it?

Anyway: The Amazing Spider-Man, which I didn't care for. It has its moments (mechanical web-shooters are better, even if they have muzzle flash and smoke for no obvious reason; everything's better with Oscorp; that's totally how I'd tell Gwen Stacy I'm Spider-Man) but the romance is Twilightesque in all the wrong ways (I'm not sure if there's a right way, but still) and Peter Parker gets no character development, even though plenty of stuff in the film calls for it. And I've no idea how you fuck up "with great power..." but they did.

The Hobbit. I liked it. I knew I'd like it. Still pissed off that they're splitting it in 3.

Les Mis has to be a musical because musicals are awesome.

Musicals are god aweful...but Les Mis is awesome. If that makes any sense lol.

Although I've heard many people insist Les Mis is an opera, not a musical. But to be honest I have no idea what the technical differences are.

It's a light opera. Unlike a musical there's almost no speaking, it's sung through. But it's also not a proper opera, because it is popular music, hence the light.

A lot of people, and I'm not meaning to be critical of you here, have only seen musicals from the 40s or earlier. Let's be honest, that wasn't the best period for music in the history of the world. Few people think of modern musicals, which are often brilliant. They're thinking of shit like Show Boat and Oklahoma* as opposed to Les Mis, Miss Saigon, a lot of the stuff Steve Sondheim has written.

* Good in the day but horribly outdated and lame by modern standards. Popular music nearly always ages badly, unlike art music.
