Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

dude, as far as I remember, in the book, the ponies that killed by Smaug was the one that given by people Lake City, not by Beorn. Ponies given by Beorn RETURNED to Beorn right after they stepped into Mirkwoord, while Gandalf won't return his pony because he went to Wizard Summit to plan an attack againts Dol Guldur. so yeah, it's pretty accurate with the book (about Beorn's ponies I mean)

Absolutely correct

Not a dude. :D Anyway, did they get ponies from Laketown in the movie? I don't recall seeing them. I know their first ponies ran off and the second batch went back to Beorn. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. lol

The Ween is not a dude.

In the movie, nope... in the book, yes...
and that would explain why no ponies for Smaug to slaughter with :D

Going forward, can we all agree to one thing?

It's G-A-N-D-A-L-F. Not Gandolf. The misspelling is driving me crazy. :gah :lol
 
Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

Anyone think the main theme will be revised in TABA? DOS lacked a good theme IMO. I think things would come full circle if on the way home we heard AUJ theme. :)55 and on)

Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

Smaug's theme was the main theme in DOS. It's a pretty cool theme. I will say I like the MM theme a little more.
 
Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

Can I just say the moment I am most looking forward to is:

Galadriel (and the White Council) bringing down Dol Guldur. I know in the books this happens much later, but according to reports and actor comments, all signs point to it occurring in TABA.

That should be pretty darn fun to watch.

True, but I was still surprised to not here the MM theme at all during the film. I thought that was the company's theme, but I'm sure we'll hear it a couple times in the next one.

I was surprised we didn't hear it as well. I think it was because Shore didn't actually compose that stuff or something to that effect.
 
Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

Plan 9 or something I think did the beat and shore tweaked a little to mix it into the movie. Something like that. I don't remember the exact details.
 
Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

I am looking forward to having the six flagship songs to all the movies for some reason. :dunno
 
Re: The Hobbit: There and Back Again

Well, I guess we got our answer! Shore composed, Pope conducted.

Production Diary 14, this one's about the score!
