Reading through my flist is a lot of fun this weekend (not that it's ever
not fun, of course!) since the majority of you seems to have seen - and enjoyed, for the most part -
The Hobbit. For months the FP had been waiting for 12.12.12 (French release date) to arrive and for our Hobbit weekend to come.
french_hobbit and
crazybutsound came up to Paris especially for it ♥
We went to a 10.30AM showing and, you know, if not for a) the FP and b) The Hobbit, I'm not sure I'd woken up so early on a Saturday ;-) But it was worth it, so worth it! First because it's not that often that the whole FP is assembled and second because we really enjoyed the film. I thought it was beautiful and I just enjoyed it from start to finish. I was a bit afraid of the pacing (and don't get me started on the 3D) but it was fine and the 3D didn't even annoy me. I still say it was not necessary and I'm hoping I'll have the opportunity to see it in 2D but at least it didn't get me out of the story even once.
Bilbo was awesome, Gandalf was great as usual and the dwarves were a bit of a delightful surprise. I didn't really know what to expect and though I guessed I would like them well enough thanks to the trailers and such, I had no idea I would love them so much. I'll be honest, I was kinda indifferent to them when I read the book but I enjoyed what Peter Jackson did with them here. Especially Thorin - no surprise here, I guess - but also Balin and Kili. As in, definitely Kili ♥
Also, midway through the film we were all "So Thorin/Kili, right?" Which is also my way of saying please, pretty please Fandom, tell me you're already writing - or planning to write - some Thorin/Kili? I mean, admittedly, I wouldn't say no to Fili/Kili but Thorin/Kili, ok? Or, hey,
Thorin/Kili/Fili works too, I guess ;-) This is not a fic but a very nice fanart. Thanks go to
french_hobbit for sharing.
So, anyway, all that to say, please to be writing
me Thorin/Kili, Fandom? #AllIWantForChristmas
