Hobbit! Trailer! Trailer for The Hobbit!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

For anyone who is silly enough to not see it elsewhere.

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Really?

Complete lack of ideas much?

Ooooh, let's do another Lord of the Rings movie, but not base it on the books. Let's set it before and stuff it with new characters because we can't get the original cast back because they've got the decency not to get involved. Except Ian McKellan because he'll do anything.

Haven't even given it the LotR prefix like the other films. The Hobbit. How ******* dumb is that as a title? THE Hobbit. There were thousands of the ******* things in the original Jackson films, but now we're expected to think that Bilbo's the only one?

Seriously, [composite word including 'f*ck'] you Hollywood. Stop raping my childhood.

Oh, it gets worse. They're totally driving the dwarf gags into the ground. There's thirteen of them! And a giant spider? There's like a hundred of them. And of course, since a big flaming vagina eye wasn't enough, we now have a big flaming dragon.

And Suaron turns out to be some whiney kid who has dubious dreams about his mum.

Considering the two films are going to be mostly non-Hobbit material (you could do a faithful full version of the silly fun book in an hour and a half tops. And that's if you leave all the singing in) I do with they'd just call these things something else rather than annoying me as I love the book, moreso than LOTR itself. Couldn't they name it Those Half Paragraph Ideas Of Tolkein's His Son Found Down the Back of the Sofa And Milked For All He Could In His Own Books Part 1 instead?

Though I might have been swayed if the trailer had been wall to wall Sylvester McCoy.

I know, m'dear Dalek, but this way we get a movie I might like. Honestly: it's just you, you, you ;)
