Martin Doyle Cartoon : Hot Hobbit
The scene in
'The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies' where Smaug the
dragon does low-level 'bombing raids' over Lake-town
dispensing bursts of high-pressure flame must surely rank as
the best set piece of cinematography in the past decade. If
one could for a moment picture Lake-town as our political
elite, then the dragon offers an image of what political
journalism should be about [in a wholesome sense].
