It would actually be pretty hilarious if there was a shot of Colbert fighting alongside Beorn at the Battle of Five Armies.

Rolling Stone is streaming the soundtrack.

Thrusting your pen in the air, shouting "Ha ha! Adventure!" every few minutes?

I've discovered a theater on the outskirts of town is playing this in HFR. I'm going to brave the (possibly snowy) conditions to get out there next Wednesday and give it a go. Time to finally see what all the fuss is about.

I'm nervous about seeing it in HFR.  My wife is dead set against it.  I think I'll see it in IMAX 3D for the midnight screening, then take my oldest daughter to see it later in HFR.

I saw a table full of displays for this tonight and Barnes and Noble.
