Hmmm... I think DD may be a Bull Elephant, since he used that example twice... yes this makes sense.
The Desolation of Smaug was awesome, even though it was mostly filler for the next film, but whatever, just more orcs to make me happy.
Edit: It's 10:40 PM here, the only reason I'm exited for 2014 is because of the next Hobbit film and the World of Warcraft movie that is supposed to come out, which is actually happening this time.
