Tom Bombadil willl just show up like halfway throw and be like "This story is shit, this source material is shit, let's just have a party" and all the goblins and all the hobbits will party down and Sauron will provide the strobe lighting with his giant eye beam. Why? Because he's Tom Fucking Bombadil.
And like Gollum will start the riddle game and Tom's riddle will be:
Q:Whose the baddest mofo in all of Middle-Earth? Whose gets the bitches, who rocks the clocks, who rides the dragons?"
A:Tom Fucking Bombadil

Putting Tom into your movie is like putting a Christopher Walken cameo into your movie. You don't know what you're going to get but your movie will be drastically improved.

Don't touch that motherfucker's lilies is all I can say.

Can someone explain the 48 fps thing and why it can't be modified somehow to play on older projectors? Or would it be like watching it in slow motion? I mean they modify that crap to play on a DVD somehow. Seems something could be done.

Long as its atleast as entertaining as this I'll be satisfied.

Plus it already fulfills the McBarreled one's criteria.

On the one hand, I'm excited because The Hobbit was my favorite book when I was a kid--hell, pretty sure I could quote the first few pages from memory at one point. I look forward to seeing how they'll handle the multiple giant spider (ctrl+c / ctrl+v Shelob?), the sentient trolls, wargs (or just wolves?) that can talk, and Beorn (Beorn damn well better be in this!!). And Smaug, of course!

On the other hand, I vaguely remember seeing photos of the cast in Entertainment Weekly a few months ago, and noticing the dwarves were all muscular hot guys, which is a little worrying. I'm sure they'll do makeup and stuff to make them look Tolkien-Dwarfy, but... I keep having nightmares of "The Adventures of Bilbo and a Bunch of Mini Aragorns and Legolases (Legoli?) So More Preteen Girls Will Come Buy Tickets To Our Movie." That would make me sad.

OTOH;
LotR trilogy: had Bombadil. Was shit.
The Hobbit: didn't have Bombadil. Was fantastic.

Now I'm not saying there's some kind of correlation here or anything. I'm just pointing out a fact. And maybe winking, and nudging a bit, and gesturing 'hey look over there'.

Tom Bombadil was only in the first book, though.

For some reason, I always imagined him as really young-looking. Peter Pan-esque.

Default I hear it's better if you drop acid, but I didn't have any at the time.
When I say the trilogy I mean the first book and half of the second book, because that's when I quit because fuck that.

SMB. We've been over this. If Peter Jackson ever puts Tom Bombadil in a movie, he'll focus on his CGI slit nostrils.

And at one point his prancing and dancing will be in slow motion.

It's inevitable.

The speed at which the motors pull the film through the projector and the rate at which the projector light blinks can't be changed. I had this long post written up about how projectors work, but I think this gets the idea across.
