The Hobbit movie will happen! - Page 2

***RÃan*** · 12-12-2006, 01:24 AM

heehee! Good one, hector!

But come ON, now - we need to see Leggy in a corner somewhere in the Elvenking's humble little dwelling - AND we need to see him fighting alongside his daddykins at the Battle of the Three Armies!!!

I approve over all. I oppose conditions 3 + 4; not that I was that keen on McKellen as Gandalf, but I don't want to see Gandalf transmuted into someone else. I am neutral on conditions 12 + 15. As a whole, though, spot on.

I know I'm alone on this one, I should guess, but I think The Hobbit without Peter Jackson is a crime! As well as no Ian M. He is Gandalf, there's no replacements. I think that if things don't make a turn around this movie is going to be a big let down, which is a shame. On another note, I heard the 'second prequel' is going to be a movie about the White Council, something or other.

Yes, I've listened to the commentaries. But he was just following the books, or so it was said in those same commentaries. You refer to the Hobbit-love, correct? Hand holding and whatnot?

Gwaimir Windgem · 12-13-2006, 01:27 PM

Sir Ian McKellen tried to make it a gay thing, yes.

Hardly blasphemous, though, Hector. And he's a good actor, even if I didn't think his Gandalf was too great.

Not only will Peter Jackson leave Beorn in the story, he will PLAY Beorn!!!

He certainly can't prove he was just following the books.

If it's blasphemous, that means the Lord of the Rings is your religion.

He's a good actor, but he is dispensable enough to find a better Gandalf. I wasn't too appreciative of his and PJ's idea of a "Samurai Mithrandir", Gandalf the White.

I'd prefer continuity. And Samurai Mithrandir? What the hey?

What, did I miss something? I didn't see Gandalf with a top knot in any of the LOTR movies.

I'm re-reading The Hobbit to the kiddos. We just got to Beorn, and Gandy's clever little story-telling ploy. That was a fun part!

Seriously, I don't know how a movie would go ...

captain carrot · 12-14-2006, 06:25 PM

best scene the take on Noah's hotel ... and ironically, one Ian would do well ...

Hector ,as usual, has his wonderful mis-match of good and interesting ... and downright "pantie" points as ever ....

i actually think it would be hard to F-up the Hobbit ... it's easy-going and jovial ...

but i am glad PJ is not on the case.
