The Hobbit films, previously to be directed by Guillermo del Toro and now to be directed by Peter Jackson again.

Like watching someone else play a video game all evening.

― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR)

Unwelcome flashback to the barrel sequence. Hard to believe I watched all three of these in the cinema.

Haha. I did the same.

I'd complety forgotten about the barrel scene. In fact, I think I must have totally blanked them all out as the only thing I vaguely remember is the fucking atrocious Radagast sleigh bit

That was the lulz and best thing in the films, I wouldn't go so far as to say befitting the original conception of this children's book but nothing like the travesty of the barrel sequence, or the rollercoaster in the golbin caves.
