Peter Jackson to direct "The Hobbit"

[Tripe]

I'm surprised they didn't pick up on the whole second breakfast thing before now to be honest.

Frankly, I wouldn't want to eat first breakfast at Denny's.

Also, without looking at the menu, I must ask:

Do you have Onion Ringwraiths

[Tripe]

Denny's is a nice place to take a trailer park girl for vittles and to replenish energy for a couple of hours before heading back to her trailer, YMMV.

RVR, did you hack Tripes account??

Air New Zealand's new 777-300 passenger safety video. Yes, this is real:

Um, why is she flipping us off?

I'm gettin' pretty psyched to see this.

[Sideswipe]

I really want to party with those guys.  They look like they know how to have a good time.

"Fuck you all, I'll be in this movie no matter HOW little sense it makes!"

Cate Blanchett...  *sigh*

[Tripe]

Yeah, I find her disappointing too.

Upset that the trailers for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have not been as aligned and meticulously ordered as your pewter, scale-model recreation of the Battle of Helm's Deep?Good news: you are probably not the only fantasy fan to suffer from anxiety disorders! Other good news: someone has sorted that out-of-order trailer problem for you, re-assembling all The Hobbit's various clips, trailers, and TV spots into a new, seven-and-a-half-minute cut that plays out what's available as chronologically as possible. Here you go:

Colbert's dream comes true... but at what cost?

Returning the favor for being allowed to cameo in the upcoming Hobbit films and not subsequently being sent to a death trap, Stephen Colbert has announced (via EW) a full week of Hobbit-themed shows set to air the week before the release of An Unexpected Journey. The deeply passionate Tolkien nerd who, unlike many deeply passionate Tolkien nerds, hosts his own successful talk show, will present four nights of The Colbert Report devoted to interviewing guests from the film, including Ian McKellen (Dec. 3), Martin Freeman (Dec. 4), Andy Serkis (Dec. 6), and Peter Jackson (Dec. 5). Thanks to the promise of "The Colbert Bump," The Hobbit now seems poised to be successful.

[Johnny Unusual]

Just messing around, implying that he's giving up his show to Middle Earth (AKA 20th Century Fox) for the week in exchange for being a hobbit or a goblin or something in the movie.

[Darth Geek]

I am curious who he plays. Do we know that yet?
