Watched The Hobbit with my sister and mom today (in German, which means I had to do some placenames research). Writing review is hard when you haven't taken any notes. And maybe I should mention that I did reread the book, but didn't pursue spoilers for the movie - so forgive me if I mention things that are old news.

• Of course there were ads before the movie and this time I wanted to see them, because I had read that the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer (which I hadn't seen yet - and seeing it in the theater is cooler) would be played (although I didn't know if they'd do in in Germany too). Then the Bad Robot logo appeared on the screen, hee. And my mom commented that she didn't know about that Benedict Cumberbatch role yet. Also, if that's really the voice actor they'll use for BC, I am very pleased.

( Here be spoilers. )

I should pack my case for Hamburg (We leave tomorrow and I have to get up at 7 - 5 1/2 hours from now!), but instead I typed my Hobbit review and now I'm writing my diary. Argh!
