Did you notice the young man on the left is depicted as a arrogant jerk? :P

Come on—is there really still any point to this?

At least let's not sink to insults, even indirect ones.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Fortunately, we have all learned a wise toleration from the P&R wars on other boards, in other times. Right?

. . . Right?
It looks like Solicitr has given you a very definitive answer to that question.
Um, did you notice that the young man on the right is depicted as a clueless dingleberry? Just wonderin'.

Prim has already addressed that above. There is no point to your post other than to further inflame the situation. Leave it alone (and that goes for everyone else, too).

Sorry, I didn't take soli's as a personal comment and didn't intend mine to be. I was just talkin' bout the comic's amusing, satirical view of the fanbases. :)

Anyway, it could be that the world will end in 2012 precisely because of the Hobbit movie: God just won't permit Part II to be screened. :D

Or She will spare the world so we can see Part II. You never know who is a fan and who is not. ;)

:rofl: If only the Mayans and Nostradamus had been more precise. A single Hobbit movie could have saved us all!

And here I was thinking it was a ring that would bind us all together.

The gold the ring was forged with, well it's Mayan gold. In fact the gold belonged to the Great King Heythatsmygold. After it was stolen in the great Middle Earthians war, the Great King Heythatsmygold changed his name to the Great King Thatstupididiotstolemygold. And from that time forward the Great Mayan Empire vowed a vow, a mighty vow of vengence and blood lust to get the gold of the Great King Thatstupididiotstolemygold in a finale ultimate battle.

The great Mayan Army lead by General Gonnagetthegoldback has been preparing with the super secret battle plans given to them by the Alantians. They've had over 7,000 years to hone their battle skills, sharpen their weapons of mass destruction and over all prepare to get the gold back.

They will be in here on 2012. And they are going to get the gold back the very day The Hobbit opens. They aren't bringing flowers.

Pay Per View price will be $49.99.

Are you sure this isn't the plot for Hobbit 2?

Oh, I dunno. I sorta like it. It sorta moves me. 8) Reminded me of Chief Vitalstatistics, too. :)

I hope The Hobbit is a fun movie. I am not emotionally invested in it as I was with LOTR so I will be able to enjoy it no matter how dumb and stupid and full of pointless, boring, tedious SFX it is. ;)

And, YES, we should plan a Hobbitwatching Moot. I am SO up for that. 8)

I'm not sure we can all twack together, though. I think that might be slightly illegal.

OK, I'm loving the idea of a great big ol' Hobbitmoviemoot.

Count me in! By then the puppy will be grown up and sane and I can just leave her at home with the by-then-grown-up-and-sane kids and dear spouse, yes?

I'd have to get back home in time for the end of the world, though.

I'm in. I'm so in. Hobbit Movie Moot it is.

Oh gawd. I just had the most horrible thought. What if the first movie ends at that bit where they're stuck up trees, with wolves and goblin and fire below them?? That would be just unbearable.
