2600 balloons - 3 days: a highly detailed hobbit hole.
Archaeologists banned from calling hominid group “Hobbits”
Because of their diminutive size, scientists and laypeople alike have gotten into the habit of referring to the ancient hominids Homo floresiensis as “Hobbits”. The hominids stood about 3 and a half feet tall, making them perfect hobbit size. But now the company that owns the film right to “The Hobbit” has demanded scientists stop calling them hobbits. Hobbits.

Check out the third Hobbit TV spot
It’s only 30 seconds, but chock full of action, including a fainting Bilbo. I hope there’s a fainting Bilbo action figure in the works. With real fainting action.

Denny’s rolls out its Hobbit themed menu, pipe weed absent
Did you now The Hobbit is coming out this December? It’s not like they’re going out of their way to promote it or anything. It’s not like whenever you go to Denny’s, they’ll give you a Hobbit themed menu with items such as “Hobbit Hole Breakfast” and “Gandalf’s Gobble Melt”. That sounds pretty accurate to what Hobbits and wizards eat.

Stephen Colbert hints at a possible cameo in ‘The Hobbit’
Colbert seen here in his magical goblin fighting armor.
So Stephen Colbert was down in New Zealand for just a day or two last year, just ya know… happened to be in town, checking out the filming of The Hobbit. Ya know, just for the hell of it, and it has nothing to do with a possible Colbert cameo in the film. No, not at all.

New Zealand puts hobbits on its stamps and coins, Ian McKellen approves
The filming of all the Lord of the Rings movies and now the Hobbit movies is kind of a really big deal for New Zealand, and so to celebrate, New Zealand has decided to deck out both its stamps and coinage with characters from the upcoming Hobbit film. Actor Ian McKellen, AKA Gandalf, has said it’s “a wizard idea”.

First look at Lee Pace in costume as Thronduil from The Hobbit
This photo was found, strangely enough in a ‘Hobbit’ children’s book on Amazon:
“What’s a little odd is that it’s such a high quality pressing – it’s supposed to be scribbled on by children, which seems such a waste of a great looking book. It’s a beautifully bound hardcover with full colour glossy pictures on all pages. What’s also a bit odd is that the book is aimed pretty much at the children that The Hobbit book is aimed at – age 6 and up. Wasn’t Peter Jackson making a much darker movie? Why aim this at the younger market? Isn’t that a bit like having a “Texas Chainsaw Massacre Crayon Colouring Book”?
“One of the most delightful pages is the one that shows King Thranduil (played by Lee Pace) in all his glory. It’s officially the first time he’s been seen – there’s been lots of speculation about what Legolas’s father might look like, but here he is!”

It’s only got a little tiny bit of new footage, but I’m still excited. Maybe a little too excited.

Peter Jackson confirms ‘The Hobbit’ will be three movies

The latest Hobbit production video should get you pretty psyched about the movie
I haven’t posted a Hobbit production video since the first one months and months and months ago. The film comes out in December, and this video takes us through The Hobbit’s appearance at Comic Con and the last five days of filming. Yessssss… this is going to be good, I just know it.

Oh yes… look at the brand new trailer for The Hobbit
While I like Lord of the Rings, I like The Hobbit more… LOTR sets up a wide world with a grand adventure, but The Hobbit feels more like a real, personal story. I guess that’s because it is much more of a real, personal story. Plus, I absolutely love the animated Hobbit feature from 1977 more than pretty much any other movie.
