Next December?!!
Oh well, I guess this year it’s “Harold and Kumar do Beer Bongs”
Can’t wait! Looks well done! Glad Peter Jackson was at the helm again!
Just finished reading the Hobbit (for the umpteenth time), can’t wait for the movie version. Hope it holds to the book better then the trilogy of the Rings did.
By the way, the animated version wasn’t bad.
Hooks you in like the old LOTR ones. Peter Jackson’s still got it.
Amazing!
Cannot wait, thanks for posting this.
So will anyone try The Silmarillion? FWIW I stopped reading it because it seemed almost like an alternative bible/story of creation and it was getting that I knew more about it than the real thing.
Can’t wait for “There and Back Again”. I want to see Smaug.
We wants it, we needs it. Cannot wait for the precioussss
I have listened over and again to the Dwarven song. It sends chills up the back of my neck.
I hope they sing the rest of that magnificent poetry in the movie.
I don’t think there will be too many conflicts with the story. Sir Ian McKellan was famous for running around the LOTR set with a copy of the trilogy pointing out mistakes.
Thank you, for posting this!!
Goodie BUMP
Wow!!
Fantastic! Can’t wait. As a teenager & young adult, I also read The Hobbit & LOTR numerous times, and ultimately The Silmarillion just once. Probably my favorite books ever.
Is there a Hobbit ping list ?
Really, shouldn’t Arwen be there? It’s reasonable that Galadriel should make an appearance, but not necessary. But Arwen really ought to be there working on her White Tree Banner and pining for her boyfriend.
November 2012: Obama loses.
December 2012 Smaug dies.
Good way to end the year.

Thanks so much for posting this! You made my night. A terrific book is finally being made into the awesome movie it deserves to be! Woo hoo! (Says the Hobbit nerd! LOL!)
