It's funny, but I liked the sing a lot. As this is really a song from the book it was nice the hear it with music. I also loved that the story went not only with action but also showing some of the background of the story...

I know the singing is from the book. I didn't like it in the book either (kind of hard to sing it when you don't know the melody...).
Part two really did have a lot of action. It's what I liked and disliked about it.
I'm really curious about part three! I'm hoping it won't be like The Return Of The King... After Frodo throws the ring in the volcano and you think allright that's it the movie goes on for another 30 minutes! And that's after you already watched for three hours...

The book is worse for that, Jackson cut a whole segment that, imo, never really worked.

I stopped reading in The Two Towers. Not that I disliked the book, I'm just not much of a reader (unless it's study related).

I also watched that recently, and I'm disappointed too.
I'm not very happy with the alterations of the story or with the inclusion of so much content from the appendices, but the part that really annoys me is the over-the-top attempts to impress the viewer with "spectacular" combat scenes. It's especially jarring to see the elves surfing on their enemies (both the spiders and the orcs) and the dwarfs having perfect yet improvised teamwork while confined to barrels in a river. In moderation, such things would be OK, but this trilogy is really overdoing it.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Depending on how (or how much) one celebrates Cinco de Mayo, the Revenge of the 5th is likely to become apparent on the 6th!

Was over at PetSmart today when someone exclaimed 'Good and holy garlic pickle gravy'.
Instant silence throughout the entire store. About 250 people.
Yuck.
EDIT: I cannot spell, it seems. (hold != holy)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

That wouldn't be very fresh.
The person who exclaimed it is known to have a rather... unusual... sense of taste. And humor. And is said to be a tad on the crazy side.
