    Actually, it's quite funny to imagine you with your little popcorn watching the monster or goblin or whatever the hell that thing is. It would be different if it were a gwar concert.

    Smeagol (a Hobbit) and Gollum, his twisted (literally) self is a great representation of man fighting two sides of his own character. The First Ring and his lust/desire for having it is what turned him from sorta normal looking to a twisted nasty slimy sharp toothed cave-dwelling creature. Precious indeed.

    What's funny is Peter Jackson makes a point to do this with Thorin and the treasure of Erebor, they call it Dragon Sickness in the movie.

    What's with all the silly names. I'd be much more interested if it were the desecration of Thomas or Bruce or whatever. Smaug? Erebor? What the hell is next dungeons and dragons?

    It's a band, not a movie

    And I honestly couldn't tell you the name of any of their songs. I know of them from Beavis & Butthead

    The names all have meaning. JRR Tolkien was a master linguist and even created multiple languages. The names are derived from Celtic and Norse names. Thorin obviously is derived from the god Thor.
