The Hobbit

1 hobbit, 1 wizard, 13 dwarves... sounds like good times to me.

i saw this the other day and i thought it was a joke. maybe because frodo looks so weird.

can't view it.. it says the video is private?

[nature boy]

i guess they took it down. i can't see it either.

it worked fine last night.

I have updated the link to a working one. not sure why they took down the first one. Since i got right from the WarnerBrosPictures channel.

maybe they don't allow hotlinking? some sites do that.

looking most forward to this one, of all the movies i know announced for next year. more excited about watching this then i was for the rings trilogy.

the story is a much tidier package and should be much more transferable to the big screen than lord of the rings.

the dwarfs seem to be much better represented in this movie than they were with gimli in LoTR. who served as comic relief in the movie, which was completely untrue to his literal equivalent.

one scene in the trailer hinted at some love arc between gandalf and galadriel, which i hope isnt the case. that would be another farce and completely unnecessary element if added. [rant]i don't understand the reason in so many movies to force a romantic interest in great stories when they are rarely ever need and only distract from good plot. they did it both the latest batman movies. lets face it no one cares about bruce/rachel. *gag* and some half thrown together non-nonsensical love story isnt going to make girls want to watch this over some rom-com [/rant]

can't wait.

actually elijah wood is still frodo in this movie, and bilbo was recast so that they could find someone to play his younger self.

frodo is actually not even in the story of the hobbit and probably only included in the movie to tie it to LoTR.

interesting, you have a point there. it's true that it wasn't well done, but i'm just saying that it has its place (as in them being more than just friends). i guess if i had a choice i'd prefer it be left out as well, but at the same time it didn't ruin the movie for me (her acting and her face did that all by themselves lol).
