First Hobbit Production Blog

To say that I'm excited is an understatement.  Hearing PJ's voice made me smile; then seeing (and hearing!) Richard Taylor made me grin.  NGL, I shed an actual tear at the welcoming ceremony on the first day of filming.  Oh, Lord of the Rings, how I've missed you.

Yep, saw this. Time to find those LOTR icons again.

I'm super excited about this. I'm weird because I did not like Lord of the Rings at all. But I love The Hobbit. I read The Hobbit first, and figured since I liked that book I'd love LOTR but they're really significantly different stylistically. Plus LOTR goes on forever and that's not my style, lol. So I'm actually really excited about this cause The Hobbit was one of my favorite books as a kid. YAY!

Tyson just showed me this vid, and I squeed, not gonna lie. Although... I'm not sure how having Martin Freeman playing Bilbo Baggins is going to work. I ♥ Martin Freeman, but I want to give him a hug every time I see him, which is not my standard reaction to Bilbo. So, I guess we'll see. *g*

I think it's going to work; he's a good actor. He'll be able to instill Bilbo with all the necessary qualities, I have no doubt.

Now, all the hot actors playing dwarves, I'm a little "hmmmm" about.

Argh, I knew, I KNEW, I should have just downloaded it last night when I had the YouTube window open. Siiiiiiiiiigh. Why do they have to pull these things down? Wasn't it uploaded in the first place so people can watch it?

Saw it yesterday on facebook and was like 'Okay change of plans I don't go into publishing and into the movie business instead.
I can't wait for the movie though it will take sooooooooooooooooooo long until it will be in the movies.

I know; it's going to end up being like 2015 or something. I remember, waaaaay back when they first started getting the wheels moving, it was supposed to come out this year. LOL.
