I'm liking tumblr savior. One can use it to blacklist certain words or phrases (I tend to go for short phrases, otherwise it'll blacklist anything that has the single word anywhere in the post...text, tags). Settings can be altered to tell you when something has been blocked, if so desired. As a hypothetical situation, if you blacklisted 'velvety black moth' or whatnot, you could get dashboard notifications along the lines of "a post by so-and-so containing 'velvety black moth' has been blocked. click to view post." Or you can just set it to do all of its blocking silently. My only grievance is that the settings apply to all blacklisted terms. Whereas with some things I'd prefer to know they're being blocked, and other things not so much).
Really now, I'd have -preferred- some nice close-up shots of actual velvety black moths, but you're right, they wouldn't show up well. That was one instance where I didn't care much about artistic license because I was just glad they'd included the scene at all! My learning curve with the first Hobbit film installment was pretty steep, in terms of choosing what I wanted to bother with being irked at. If I was irked at every single thing that wasn't quite how I wanted it to be, well, that way lies madness.
Re: action sequences. There's one point in the preview where the Dwarves are popping out of their barrels with swords or something, and at that point I kind of just wanted to laugh because it screamed PETER JACKSON WAS HERE.
The Hunt for Gollum - yes, the more understated tone, it's quite nice. I think I most enjoyed the scenes where Aragorn is just walking along.
(Edit for totally failing to take due advantage of my new icon.)
