That's where the Ents come in! They will be hoding a moot all the way through the Battle, and by the time they finish Thorin would be dead etc.

So many brilliant *cough cough* ideas! Just takes a little to get them flowing!

In the Battle of the Five Armies I expect to see the Beornings attack en masse in a type of Twilight Attack of the Were-bears (distant ancestors of The Care Bears). Or will they be a Swedish naturist colony run by Bjorn the Bare.....

Those fiendish Swedish Naturalist allies Gandalf met galloping up from
Dol Guldur (now you know why he was distracted

). They'll have
some Swedish naturalist babes distract the orcs while the dwarves swipe away
at the poor orcsees naughty bits! PJ's gonna have trouble getting a PG-13
rating in the U.S.

I really don't know what the two upcoming Hobbit films will contain other than one each of Peter Jackson's self-indulgent cameos. However otherwise perfect, these movies will contain at least these guaranteed and needless blemishes.

Don't forget the cameos by the bug eyed moppets who are probably spotty and surly adolescents now...

He does love his explosions and immature bits of ghastliness, doesn't he? The fact is, other than LotR, PJ is a B-grade director of campy horror flicks. Which is why I was so disappointed when Del Toro got the hint early on and left the film, because his vision of fantasy is decidedly more elegant than the bombast of Jackson. Although Del Toro is too much of a gentleman to admit it, I am sure PJ's efforts to dumb down the plot (much like in LotR) was a deciding factor in Del Toro leaving.

Del Toro must have been a real optimist if he thought PJ would actually allow him to "direct" The Hobbit. I have to confess it is my least favourite of Tolkien's writings .... my only real curiosity is how Smaug will be represented. I'm a bit of a dragon fanatic.
