Man, those Cinema Sins folks really didn’t like Desolation of Smaug. Personally, I rather enjoyed the film. I didn’t care for the ending being such an insane cliffhanger, but we’re already closing in on next December, so it won’t be long now before that cliffhanger just doesn’t matter anymore.

Did you hear they want to change the name of the final film to The Hobbit: Into the Fire? As opposed to The Hobbit: There and Back Again? ‘Into the Fire’ would be such a dumb name. ‘There and Back Again’ has such a fun, whimsical feel to it, which I think would better serve the franchise in the long run.
