Uninformed Hobbit Observation 

Watching the third Hobbit. It's not great, but the completionist in me does want to finish watching.

ANYWAY, watching the movie and not yet knowing the full history of Tolkien Orcs, I really like the artistic decision taken by the film to attach weaponry to the orcs' amputated limbs, armor embedded in skin, etc.

Body modification & cyborg imagery in Middle Earth has just as interesting social implications as it does in any sci fi universe.
