There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Thread

Shyria Dracnoir · 04-14-2011, 10:23 AM

Saw this when I first logged in. Peter Jackson's posting a video blog of production work on The Hobbit as an ongoing series. Here's the first video (it's on Facebook, not sure if it's been hosted elsewhere). A lot of nostalgia, some sneak peaks, and much anticipation. Who knows what else we'll see as the blog progresses.

So, NPF, what are your thoughts on all this?

This should be interesting. The 12 Dwarves are fun characters. I wonder if they'll show the riddle contest in full.

My theater's projectors are from the seventies. Guess we're not getting the Hobbit.

Yeah it's great and all that they want to promote this, but seriously this just kinda screws over anyone who isn't fortunate enough to live near a properly equipped theatre.

Same qualifier as the Lord of the Rings films: If it's got Bombadil in it it'll be awesome. If it doesn't it will be terrible.

...Bombadil wasn't in the book, why would he be in this?

Hmm. On the one hand, we lack this:

On the other hand, we have this:

I think we'll be fine.

EDIT: Can't forget this guy either. Point being, there's more than enough awesome to go around.
