I’m not sure how this news managed to get by me without attracting my attention, but a few sneak peek photos of the upcoming The Hobbit films have been leaked out. I find myself glad that Guillermo del Toro eventually abandoned his directorial post, freeing the reins for Peter Jackson to do what he does best. Although I’m a big fan of del Toro, Peter Jackson simply owns Middle Earth, and having anyone else other than him direct these films would be a crime.
Feel free to head on over to Digital Trends to catch up on what’s going on with The Hobbit.
The long wait is finally over. Ever since it was first announced in January I’ve been anxiously anticipating this day. And now, after oh-so many months of waiting, I’m proud to say that I have in my possession the extended edition of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy:
We’re talking 682 high definition minutes of hobbits, ring wraiths, wizards and elves. Arriving just in time for the long fourth of July weekend, I do believe that I have everything I need to get my Middle Earth on.
Odd thought: I wonder, if Ceicl B. DeMille were alive today, would he release an extended version of The Ten Commandments?
This week just flew by! I guess that’s what happens when you actually enjoy your job
To celebrate a successful week I’m going to settle down with a mug of black & tan ale, a shot of whiskey, and a viewing of all four Alien films on blu-ray. I held back on purchasing this set on day one, and was finally rewarded with a huge discount from blu-ray.com. This set arrived on my doorstep yesterday and I’m doing my best not to pop ‘em into the PS3 until the weekend.
