I Heart Chaos

Aaaand… the first trailer drops tomorrow!

Here’s Evangeline Lilly in Her Ginger Elf Warrior Costume for the New ‘Hobbit’ Movie

The last I’d heard anything about Evangeline Lilly a.k.a. Kate from Lost, it was that she was retiring from acting or something. Apparently, she’s a goddamned liar.

Here’s a pic of her sporting a generic elf costume for her role as Tauriel in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - a character who isn’t in any of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels. Peter Jackson and crew made her up to “bring some more female energy to the otherwise male-dominated Hobbit narrative” which is Hollywood speak for “The Hunger Games made archery chicks cool and we want chicks to see this movie. Also, we didn’t want to piss off the feminists.”

Gary Busey sings a very different ballad of Bilbo Baggins

Gary Busey once again goes way off the rails in this video about Hobbits and Hobbit sex. Yes, another Hobbit video. And in this one, he sings a song about horny Hobbits. Yes, you’ll never get these four minutes back.

Gary Busey tries his best to describe Hobbits. You’re welcome.

Today would have been JRR Tolkien’s birthday, so here’s a remake of the Hobbit trailer using footage from the 1977 animated film

A version that for me, will always be superior, no matter what Peter Jackson pulls out of his ass.

And now, watch this guy eat Denny’s entire Hobbit menu in 20 minutes

…Jamie consumed about 156 ounces (9.75 pounds) of food and drink and 8610 calories (more than four times the average person’s 2000 calorie intake). And that’s not counting the ketchup. The healthiest item Jamie ate? Bilbo’s Berry Smoothie, which is only 230 calories… The worst item? The Ring Burger, which is a whopping 1420 calories (840 from fat).

Red Letter Media offers their opinions on The Hobbit

I really enjoyed The Hobbit, even though I still think it might have been better as one movie instead of three. But this is a RLM review, so they’re going to crap all over whatever you thought of the film. While they’re not entirely correct in this review, it is fucking hilarious.

Afternoon short films: The Russian Hobbit

Lego builds a massive full-sized Lego Hobbit hole

Made with 2 million 1x1 bricks, this full scale Hobbit hole with characters from The Hobbit is big enough to walk around in and it even has a smoking chimney. It’s a giant-sized replica of an actual Lego set you can buy called ‘The Unexpected Gathering’.

IHC Movie Reviews: The Hobbit (2012)

Here it is, boys and girls. Outside of Broadway fans and Tarantino aficionados, The Hobbit is pretty much the last greatly anticipated movie of the year. After years of back and forth over production, directors, and cast, it’s all finally come together and while it may be a while before we see the whole product, we at least get a decent chunk to whet our appetites. The question is, has all the eager anticipation paid off, or are we faced with perhaps the biggest disappointment in the history of movie adaptations?
