2011-07-27 14:24:43 The Hobbit Okay so I have to be honest and say that besides looking out for some occasional info on this movie (like cast members), I really wasn't searching the web for info. --- |

2011-07-27 14:29:17 Since The Lord of the Rings ended, going to the cinema for me has felt less like an actual event/experience and more like just an activity. I watched the last Harry Potter yesterday - which was pretty good I have to say - but it didn't feel emotional enough; there was less of a sense of it being the end of this epic journey, which is exactly what I felt when Return of the King finished and the credits started rolling. |

So thank goodness Jackson's returning with The Hobbit. As an absolute Tolkien fanatic, to say I'm excited is an understatement. I hope they'll do a back to back viewing action in the cinema's again once part 2 comes out. Would really love to attend to that! Can't freaking wait! Ps. (Kind of funny, If I see that picture of the dwarfs from the corner of my eyes; Thorin looks like a Klingon :-) ) --- |

I love the unique looks of the dwarves, some of them look funny lol You should give them a read, The Hobbit is really easy to blast through in one sitting and you can probably get it for about 10-15 bucks paperback version... --- |

2011-08-25 15:56:48 And while we're talking about books; To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit, a sumptuous full colour art book containing the complete collection of more than 100 Hobbit sketches, drawings, paintings and maps by J.R.R. Tolkien. When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. The Hobbit as first printed had ten black and white pictures, two maps, and binding and dust-jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien also painted five scenes for colour plates which are some of his best work. His illustrations for The Hobbit add an extra dimension to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit, the complete artwork created by the author for his story has been collected in The Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Including related pictures, more than one hundred sketches, drawings, paintings, maps, and plans are presented here, preliminary and alternate versions and experimental designs as well as finished art. Some of these images are now published for the first time, and others for the first time in colour. Fresh digital scans from the Bodleian Libraries in Oxford and Marquette University in Wisconsin allow Tolkien’s Hobbit pictures to be seen more vividly than ever before. The Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien has been written and edited by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, two of the leading experts on Tolkien and authors of the acclaimed J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator, The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion, and The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide. --- |

This one looks almost too similar to LOTR movies. I guess I wanted Del Toro version so much. Still one of the most anticipated movies for me next year. Meh, some wanted Del Toro; I wanted good ol' Peter Jackson back doing what he does best. :D It's gonna be epic, can't wait! |

The Hobbit is very different in tone that's why I wanted a different loo to it, also Del Toro said it was going to be more colorfull, this trailer make it seem like a LOTR movie, I don't know if Im explaining myself here. Del Toro is still credited though so Im expecting his design of Smaug at least. --- |

Del Toro is still credited though so Im expecting his design of Smaug at least. I do get what you mean, but I don't wanna start seeing bright colours everywhere. In fact, on a second viewing there is plenty of colour in there - look how saturated the colour is when a wide shot of Rivendell is shown, it's incredibly colourful. A lot of people want it to still feel like a LotR movie because it's intended to bridge the gap between the two sets of stories - and, given the critical success of Jackson's trilogy, you can't exactly argue with the results. I get that you wanted something different, but a large proportion of us have waited ages to dive back into Jackson's version of Middle-earth. |

2011-12-21 16:55:03 In reply to FireWire (2011-12-21 16:50:48) Posted by FireWire Yeah the hobbit is different indeed, it was written as a children's book. Unlike LOTR, which was just written as an epic story :-P Oh well I hope the movie is more in line with FOTR than the other ones. --- |

2012-01-20 21:52:43 Tolkiens... I guess you could say 'excuse' for the Hobbit being light hearted is that Bilbo wrote it for the children in the shire, so he couldn't make it as dark as it actually was. I think he re-wrote a few chapters (by taking out things like the talking troll wallet). |
