That image is good enough. I can only imagine her 22 years later, but I prefer to see photos of her when she was 22.

Just saw the second part of The Hobbit and I'm very disappointed!
To make it clear I'm fond of the work of Tolkien. I love his the details and the complexity of his world.
I'm aware of the fact that movies can't contain so much details, but I saw that with the LOTR, Peter Jackson did a good job.
When I heard about that he intend to make a trilogy out of The Hobbit, I immediately thought about the problems he got himself into. The Hobbit is a short a light story compering to the LOTR. I've read that Jackson made the story using other related works of Tolkien, and it sounded me good.
BUT HE MADE UP MOST THAN THE HALF OF THIS SECOND PART!!!

If it's any consolation I saw The Lego Movie last night, and they made all of that up!

No it's not. I hate when someone makes something cheap 'on the back' of someone who worked so hard...
With all the respect to Peter Jackson, he is not up to write new stories in the name of Tolkien!
And it's event worst - it's a bad action movie!

Presumably 95% of your personal processing power is now being consumed by the "Everything is awesome" song thread?

Ohhhhh yes. You said that correctly.

I've watched worse.
Had some laugh-out-loud moments, but mostly fairly predictable.

It is ironic, I my opinion, that a song entitled "Everything is awesome" is less than awesome to say the least!

By "the first one" do you mean the Rankin/Bass animated version from the 70s? 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

This is why I always see the movie first and then read the book . Invariably those who read the book first criticise the film, but us who let all of you filter out the crap for us get to enjoy it twice . First a good film and then an even better book .

I wasn't disappointed at all. I wish he had put in more and made it a septology. I certainly wish he had done that with LOTR where there was enough material for a dozen movies!
Peter Jackson needed to add more to the story to make it stretch to be a trilogy while trimming about long, boring stretches such as travelling which work fine in a book but drag in a movie (the same in LOTR). I think he added content that supported the main thrust of the story. Having an extra main character (the female elf warrior who's name escapes me at the moment) had worried me but he fitted her seamlessly and usefully into the story and thereby kept all the people who would otherwise complain that it was an all male main cast mollified - a bit.
Perhaps he can do the Silmarillion next and keep us Middle-Earth fans happy a little longer. ...or perhaps take some more of the stuff that Christopher Tolkien is producing and use that material for more movies - more power to him.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I have no problem to extend it, but not with stories of Peter Jackson, but of Tolkien. Tolkien created an almost full history with extreme details - no need to invent things never happened!

Actually I agree with you. Do you know how much is taken from Tolkien's notes and abandoned story segments and how much was directly made up without JRRT influence?

The Tauriel-Kili story with all the orc hunting of Legolas and Tauriel is a complete made-up. It also changes the real story where Fili and Kili are between the company actually go to the mountain...\
The experience of the dwarves to try and kill Smaug by drowning in melted gold is made-up.
The capture of Gandalf is made-up.
I missing the part how Gandalf really lerns about Thorins father and his ring, and how this reveals him the nature of the 'necromancer' from Dol Goldur...
