Do spoilers make you angry?

[Wolfshade]

Some film editting is great, personally I hated Tom Bombadil and his sodding yellow wellies I am so glad that he was axed.

Potential spoilers below?

But it hasn't changed the lore of the story of The Hobbit though, the cleansing of Dol Goldur is in the Silmarillion, so all these "new added scenes" aren't really new to the story at all. They already all exist.
The only completely new and random element is Tauriel, she is a total unknown, but I can guess what will happen to her. She's also a complete badass for the record, definitely one of my favourite characters. Along with Balin and Beorn.

Potential spoilers end?

Exactly, the second movie was awesome. I generally like all of the "updates" in Peter Jackson's films. I think the 'new scenes are actually from the appendices though, since they didn't have rights to the Silmarillion.

For spoilers though, I had a few things spoiled for Hobbit 2 because I listened to the commentary of the first, by the writers no less, it was funny though. Phillipa kept giving things away followed immediately by Peter exclaiming "Spoilers!"

I recall being rather miffed when one of you chuckle heads told me that Ned dies, but not generally. Very few people set out to deliberately ruin stuff. When the red wedding rolled around in GoT, social media went mental because everyone wanted to express their shock and discuss it and apparently that now involves telling everyone in the whole world. I don't see how you can really get too miffed about spoilers. If you wanted to avoid GoT spoilers, you could avoid social media for 24 hours until the UK airing. If you are bothered about Hobbit spoilers, go see the movie as soon as it is released (also don't watch the trailer because all the import at stuff is in there).

Ned's death is more devastating in the book.

I read the first three game of thrones books and it seemed like basically everybody died all the time, it was a miracle if you got through a whole chapter without somebody being betrayed and murdered.

Westeros is kinda how I imagine Commorragh, only Commorragh is darker and has more spikes.

[Wolfshade]

I have given up on the books, I find them far too slow and full of unrelenting misery, gone back to the Vampire chronicles, see if I can get through them.

[Psychosplodge]

Either way I liked all of Peter Jackson's movies. Sure they deviated but I don't think they took anything away from the books, they just added to the movie experience.

I fell asleep midway through the first it was that good .
Never bothered with the next two after that.

I recall being rather miffed when one of you chuckle heads told me that Ned dies,

He was played by sean bean, he never had a chance...
Seriously, still not seen more than a couple of episodes of series one. I'll get a boxset eventually, but I've already read the books.

Ned's death is more devastating in the book.

Probably.

Who's he think he is? Dan Abnett? Sure as sure...

It all depends on your investment I guess.

For example I would be pissed on spoilers for Heros session one, but could care less if I was spoiled in the other seasons.

Planet of the Apes and Star wars I can see one getting angry for spoilers as well.

However the Hobbit has been out for a long time. It had what like two animated movies plus multiple reprints. Kinda hard not to spoil what is going to happen. Can't really get mad at any spoilers unless it changes what is done in the book.

Typically the book is way better than the movie. Especially since movies don't narrate or you can listen to their inner thoughts and you can miss details that are pointed out in the book, plus you get the setting and more detail of what is going on. Since people today hate narrative it is really hard for movies to be like the book.

Also a few times the movie turns out better than the book. Kick *** one for example the first movie was better than the boom, while the book was better than the second movie. It is rare that the movie is better than the book due to the movie also dumbing down what actually happened in the book as well.

Oh I think ******* Anime is better than the Manga for example.

Anyway everyone but Neo knew he was the one. Not a big mystery there, wouldn't be much of a movie if he wasn't.
