MGM and Warner Near On Deal For Hobbit Films
Jamie found an NYT story that says "After months of negotiation and delay, Warner Brothers and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are on the verge of an agreement that would allow the director Peter Jackson to begin shooting a two-part version of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit early next year." The production has struggled recently with issues with unions, and a fire.
Another one of my childhood favorite story just died by the hands of that moron.
"The production has struggled recently with issues with Unions, and a fire." However, production has resumed smoothly following the ritualistic burning of the union leaders at the stake.
The Hobbit was the most boring of the Tolkien books, but hey, I'm all for a movie!
Isn't that like saying the Pacific Ocean is the most wet of the oceans?
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
You've never tried to choreograph a dance routine with a dozen unicorns and walking trees, have you? It might sound like fun and games, but it's not.
The fire was purely an accident I tell you. It had nothing to do with that backtalking birch. I told her if she didn't shut her hole, she'd get what was coming to her, but nooooo. nooooo. A guy can only take so much I tell you.
(ohhh, if we could only post the pictures inline, it would make this so much funnier)
Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.
Yeah, everyone kept saying that in the movies. But the weasel and Frodo sure didn't seem very powerful to me. Even the bad guy must not have been too powerful if he lost the damn thing in the first place. I kept waiting for one of the humans, fairies, or Oompa-Loompas to ask where all this supposed power WAS anyway. Seems like Mr. Powerful Ring Bearer spent most of the movies running from shit.
