Question concerning the first Hobbit film (Extended Version)

[ladybug_archive]

So, has anyone here seen the extended version of the first Hobbit film? I notice that among its ratings reasons is "Fleeting Nudity", which kind of made my jaw drop. The LOTR films tried to avoid nudity, even where the books had it. (Case in point, Frodo's capture by the Orcs in Return of the King.) When that film came out, I worried how they would handle that part, and I was thoroughly satisfied that Frodo was not completely stripped naked.

So ... can anyone tell me why there's Fleeting Nudity in the extended version of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey? I'd kind of like to know what that's about before I see it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found out. Apparently we see bare Dwarf backsides as they bathe at Rivendell. Wonderful. **sarcasm.**

(Sort of related, but two separate species. They were bred together by Sauroman in order to create the Urak-hai in LOTR. In the book, goblins were the main villainy sort and orcs really didn't make any appearances. But for those who only watch the movies, it will probably make more sense to see Orcs.)

I feel like it's a more slow progression in the movie before it turns to chaos. Whereas in the book it's total chaos. It might be easier to swallow film-wise.

(Dang inability to edit comments that have been replied to. I realized I wrote "Bilbo" in a comment up above when I should have said "Balin".)
