[Demosthenes] Ok, second-last scene: Bard on the cart. what the hell?
[AmydaughterofBev] Agreed. There were loads of close ups on other CGI characters previously.
[Demosthenes] i mean … what?
[AmydaughterofBev] Ha!
[thatJustin] needed to keep Quickbeam happy
[jenniearcheo] We’ve seen t his in the Teaser
[jenniearcheo] His daughters are there! Cart goes over them
[Demosthenes] it’s like some craziness that escaped from DOS
[jenniearcheo] (they duck)
[DuBekar] Pointless action sequence.
[jenniearcheo] Seems this crash is what happens next
[perry] well, he’s in a rush to get someplace. So when could this be.
[Demosthenes] yeah agreed.
[AzogTheDefiler] Probably a way to defeat that big guy
[Demosthenes] it’s the car chase in fantasyland
[AmydaughterofBev] Will look good in super duper hi res 3D.
[jenniearcheo] Who needs San Francisco when you have Dale?
[thatJustin] HFR
[AmydaughterofBev] Thank you.
[butterfly] I’m seeing it in 3D HFR ^^
[Demosthenes] That scene was in the teaser too wasn’t it?
[AmydaughterofBev] I am not a techie…just an old chick who enjoys it.
[Demosthenes] it seems familiar anyhow
[perry] there’s another cart, or chariot, with dwarves. and they get attacked.
[smaugth3drag0n] Could the enemy have pushed Bard in that cart down the hill to try to hurt him?
[AmydaughterofBev] Yes…there are wargs too.
[AzogTheDefiler] Thats a battle wagon
[Demosthenes] No, i’ve definitely seen this cart before.
[Demosthenes] somewhere
[jenniearcheo] In the teaser, Dems
[jenniearcheo] Bard’s in it
[thatJustin] Thorin’s wheelbarrow ride was only the start
[jenniearcheo] The daughters duck, he goes over them
[Demosthenes] nod. thought so.
[AmydaughterofBev] Ah! Battle wagon. Cheers!
[Demosthenes] It’s an odd duck in a trailer that is so not a theme park ride.
[Demosthenes] and presumably is a good guide to the tenor of the movie
[jenniearcheo] It looks like an oddly placed moment of comedy. Or attempt at same.
[Demosthenes] yeah
[Demosthenes] Shall we do the last scene then?
[jenniearcheo] If so, it’s the only hint at comedy in the whole film.
[jenniearcheo] Bilbo putting on the ring?
[Demosthenes] That’s the one.
[perry] what about thorin’s fight
[FatherGregorian] Wait guys, I’m sorry to digress….but did you talk about Saruman yet?
[Demosthenes] FatherGregorian: way earlier, yes. we went scene by scene.
[jenniearcheo] We’d actually talked about that before you joined us, but we could again.
[AzogTheDefiler] I think Bilbo will help Thorin against Azog
[AmydaughterofBev] Where is he? At the gate?
[Demosthenes] let’s just chat about Bilbo first
[jenniearcheo] He appears to be somewhere with a painted door.
[jenniearcheo] Which is odd
[Demosthenes] because then we’re done 🙂
[butterfly] I think Martin’s giving the finger there XD
[jenniearcheo] Trees on the sides
[AmydaughterofBev] ha
[jenniearcheo] Very dirty
[butterfly] Bilbo’s flipping us all off…
[Demosthenes] it seems to be …. dale’s archiutecture?
[jenniearcheo] Not sure why he’s going invisible
[Demosthenes] battle?
[jenniearcheo] Certainly in the battle
[jenniearcheo] Got the shirt on
[Demosthenes] yes
[Puma] he is going invisible to hide from the pj verse
[Demosthenes] i definitely think it’s Dale.
[jenniearcheo] The tree may be an overgrown look
[AmydaughterofBev] Oh my gosh! I see the shirt now. You all DO have elf eyes!
[jenniearcheo] The round arches would seem to be Dale-like
[butterfly] yeah, the shirt!
[Demosthenes] jennie: italian-style frescoes?
[AmydaughterofBev] This is my first trip into the Hall and I have learned so much.
[butterfly] I hope to see the scene where Thorin gives the shirt to him!
[jenniearcheo] And he’s scuffed. He’s only scuffed in Battle scenes
[Demosthenes] the creamy-brown colouraiton
[jenniearcheo] Yes, some sort of fresco thing
[Demosthenes] i say it’s dale cuz all those reasons
[Mithrandir] Gosh! You guys still discussing the trailer? 😀
[jenniearcheo] I know. Three hours for a 2:34 trailer
[butterfly] just finishing!
[jenniearcheo] Okay, can we do Saruman for FatherGregorian
[smaugth3drag0n] Could this be him hiding from Bolg that we saw in the previous trailer? He did have the Mithril shirt on then as well.
[AmydaughterofBev] Yes. I am a newbie. I think I am slowing everything down.
[butterfly] My God, it’s past 1am here!
[Demosthenes] mith: we just finished scene-by-scening it. i knew if we did it that way it would be loooong.
[jenniearcheo] But we got far more out of it than the chaos
[Demosthenes] that’s true
[jenniearcheo] Which we had for nearly an hour
[Demosthenes] sorry for the mess earlier.
[smaugth3drag0n] It was great. I noticed details in the trailer that I did not catch in the three or four viewings.
[AzogTheDefiler] 3 hours of epicness await us
[Mithrandir] That’s ok, Demz!
[AmydaughterofBev] Me too. I thought I had watched with an eagle eye…not so!
[Demosthenes] hah. our trailer chat was longer than the actual film.
[jenniearcheo] Okay, FatherGregorian. We thought that Saruman might have been already in league with Sauron secretly. Or
[Demosthenes] that’s so funny
[jenniearcheo] Perhaps not yet
[smaugth3drag0n] Not a problem.
Log ends! A big thank-you to everyone who participated and shared their thoughts.
