Yeah - you're right!

Some folk knew the director chosen was a horrible choice.... I didn't.... I can't believe their disclaimer though! The whois on that website shows TORN owns it!

Today's Hobbit Hoax Tomorrow...
4/01/04, 10:52 pm EST - weetanya

This afternoon we had a little chat with New Line. Apparently the press release we'd posted earlier (as some of you had guessed) was a hoax. It fooled us -- good job. Very good job, in fact. So good we're going to keep an eye on this hoax to see what tomorrow's "announcement" is going to be. [More]

Pull The Other One!

It seem April Fools-jokes centered on 'The Hobbit' were quite popular this year. The Shropshire Star for instance posted an article about Peter Jackson scouting the location for a potential Hobbit-movie and a possible love-interest for Bilbo Baggins. [More] Jim Hill Media in the meantime featured an article about Disney acquiring the rights to 'The Hobbit' and a potential theme park in the making [More] Thanks to everyone who tried to fool us with these links!

Heehee, looks like lots of people were fooled by that one! I didn't know anything about the director, I just figured the timing was too perfect with it being April 1st.

Did anyone hear Sean Hannity yesterday? He pulled a good one, had me wondering for all of about 30 seconds.

What time is your interview?
