I think Heart-Throb was kept pretty human-looking to lure in the younger female audience. The so-called "Legolas Factor", if you will.

Yeah, I was just thinking the other day...

Between Kili/Fili (whichever one that is) and Thorin Oakenshield... and, of course, Tyrion Lannister...

I think I'm developing a dwarf fetish.

Good thing I'm really short.

But, for the record, I didn't have to be "lured" in -- I would have been there on opening night regardless :p

I thought this was kind of neat: the amount of pencils John Howe went through while working on the Hobbit.

I'm as far from an artist as you can get. Could someone tell me why anyone would want to have a pencil with such a long point on it like the one at the top of the page?

Longer period of time between sharpening, which, by the looks of it, he does with a knife rather than a mechanical sharpener.

He's a writing hippie.

Two reasons:
Holding it on its side for quick shading
Also he has an assortment of different leads there, at least from 2B to 4B. 4B is pretty soft, and will require sharpening much sooner than a 2B, which could just be annoying. It's also possible he's got something even softer in there, like a 6B or even an 8B, which is practically just black pudding on the end of a stick.
But my money is on the first thing.

So, as most people probably know, hobbits have odd eating habits, eating six normal sized meals a day. Here's a list of the meals they eat:
1. Breakfast
2. Second Breakfast
3. Elevensies
4. Lunch
5. Afternoon Tea
7. Supper

Oh I watched the movie plenty of times when I was a kid. We had to rent it from Blockbuster pretty much every time we went.

But that video just replayed the same song over and over again, so I'm not sure why I watched the whole thing.

Ha! I watched that whole movie when I was a kid and it was on tv.




I don't know why I'm bragging. That just means I'm old. :(

The original animated Hobbit was awesome. As was return of the King. It's just a shame that they gave Fellowship/The Two Towers to Ralph Bakshi.

I must disagree,
dear Bowielee -
if not for naught, then nostalgee.

Bakshi's crap,
I give you that,
But for one little lad
'twas no mishap
that this film here
did make appear
a whole new world
of tales untold.

This lad, you see,
'twas naught but me,
now an old devotee
of fiction and fantasy.

To mock the film is gas,
some people it makes barf.
But for me it had and has
A special place in my heart.



Yeah... definitely loopy from medication. Carry on, folks.

I've never seen the animated Return of the King.

The Hobbit was one of my favorite animated films as a kid (as the book was my favorite book as well).
