The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
to bad we have to wait a freakin' year to see it.....
Does whatever a spiderman does.
My thoughts exactly!
“There are no men like me. There's only me”- The Kingslayer
My advice? Keep your mind off that wait by watching something else that's awesome, something that will completely take your mind off it. Like the new series of Sherlock starting on New Year's Day and starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as John Watson, both of whom are starring in The Hobbit next year!
Oh. Well, it was worth a try, anyway.

I've got movies and TV series to keep me busy. I love how they now do seasons where you either get half seasons that go for 12 weeks take a break then go for 12 more. OR shows like Shameless that will start in January end in May and soon after I think True blood will start up.
When you say "Shameless", do you mean American Shameless or proper Shameless?
Spoiler:
Oh, and I strongly recommend catching up on Sherlock, especially since it's only 3 eps per series! Before you ask, all the eps are 90 minutes each, which is partly the reason why the series are so short, but they're definitely worth watching, just to see how fantastic the actors are for Bilbo and the voice of Smaug are!

Haha, alright. Are you planning on setting up some sort of rewatch thing for that as well ? If you , sign me up.
Haha, sweet! Maybe after LoM and the second season of your Lost Re-watch. (Any news on when that's gonna continue, btw?)

LOL i forgot that american Shameless wasn't the original. I was talking about that version.
I guessed, but I just felt like reminding ya.
Another reason why you gotta love Jackson's films: it retains something inheritantly British about Middle Earth. For crying out loud, the main characters are geezers who do nothing but smoke all day long, eat food all day, and have drinks down the pub on a regular basis: how much more British can you get?

So...are you saying that by being a Hobbit, I'm already British as it is?
And I know what you mean, about how much effort really did go into creating this world. Has anyone on here read the non-LOTR books by Tolkien? They are insane....and there's so many of them, is that gets me. The Silmarillion alone, which covers the entire mythology of the elves and the gods of Middle Earth, is over 400 pages long and is just jam-packed full of information. It's more thorough than half of the real religious texts I've read!
The LOTR universe is massive, filled with several intricacies. I think it's second only to the Star Wars universe in terms of how expansive it is.
All the more impressive by the fact that, unlike the Star Wars universe, the mythology of Middle Earth was only done by one man. Two, if you count his son editing his father's work.

I'm looking forward to The Hobbit very much. Along with the new series of Red Dwarf (they've filmed two episodes already, it comes out in Autumn. Sigh, another long wait.) And then there's Dreddand Prometheus. Looks like a good year for films and telly overall.
As for the LotRuniverse, I've read The Silmarillion, which I enjoyed. I think there's plenty of film material in there. (The individual stories, I mean, not The Silmarillion as a whole.) I enjoyed The Children of Hurin too. I'd count that as by J R R Tolkien as most of the work is his writing, his son only really writing to bridge things and sorting out inconsistencies.
I haven't read much else of the LotR published works as I got the impression a lot of it was essays by Tolkien's son on his work, or detailing other versions of the stuff that was written. I understand there may be other original fiction work among that stuff though.
Corporate greed wins again!
The Hobbit is now officially a trilogy.
as much as I cannot deny I am excited for another Middle Earth movie...god dammit. Why can't they just accept the end of story, and leave it be?
Right, that's it: they better change the schedule and release one every six months instead of per year, to make things a little more bearable.
(Oh, and are they actually going back to film more? If so, I hope that this, in no way, affects filming for Sherlock: Series 3. Ordinarily, more Freeman does sound promising, but god damnit, I will be pissed if the resolution to that cliffhanger isn't resolved within the next 18 months! (Even more than I am right now.))

It's a 310 page book spread over three films. Huh? Jackson is going to have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to come up with enough supplementary material, there's no way in hell The Hobbit can be spread over three films on it's own.
What does Bilbo say in Fellowship? "I feel thin ... like butter spread over too much bread."
How appropriate.
They're not just covering The Hobbit. They're covering appendix material from the third Lord of the Rings book too. According to Peter Jackson's facebook entry, the very reason they're doing a third film is so that they can cover all that material. Mind you, I'd have thought two films would be enough. Maybe part of it will actually be a bridge between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, but this is just me speculating.
The Lord of the Rings is probably my favourite film series (or one of them anyway) so I don't mind the extra stuff.
heh, should have probably read the article first instead of posting my knee-jerk reaction
eh, maybe I'm just being overly cynical, but it reeks of corporate greed to insert shit into the film that isn't an inherent part of the book itself.
