Peter Jackson's lost quite a bit of weight since the Lord of the Rings

Lots more gray hair too... I guess doing a series like this will do that to ya. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I'm looking forward to it. I was more looking forward to it when I saw the horses. I thought "Holy hell, I might get a chance to be an extra in a cavalry charge in one of the most epic movies ever made! Maybe they'll have a cavalry charge in the Battle of Five Armies!"

For those of you who think that's an odd desire, you are not horsemen. Any true horseman would delight in the chance to participate in a cavalry charge. Think about it. Hundreds of men sitting astride hundreds of massive beasts of war, bearing down upon the enemy to the sound of a thousand thundering hooves. Charging someone with just one horse is awesome. Get a few friends and the awesomeness multiplies exponentially. I know because I've done it. But a charge with a whole regiment of cavalry? Or even a few score? I can't even imagine the ecstasy, even if it's a fake charge.

So I immediately went to the omniscient internets and looked up the casting calls for "The Hobbit". And then I said a bad word. They aren't asking for horsemen, they're asking for white male extras who stand shorter than five-foot-seven, which made me say another bad word. Actually, it was the same one, but slightly more pronounced and emphatic. And I may have said it twice. Or more than that. And also added other bad words.

As with the LOTR trilogy, I seem to have missed my chance again.

I don't think it's odd at all. In fact it sounds a lot like a military parachute jump which is still my all time favorite activity.

Sorry to hear you won't get your chance UL.

Nothing beats experiences like that.

Dude awwwesome! I'm very glad that Peter Jackson is doing The Hobbit

Amazing to see the sets like that, really never pay much attention to how big they are when I see them in the actual movie.

Hey! He's not done until he's turned out that other prequel, The Silmarillion.

That was actually the first of the books I read and what got me hooked.

The Hobbit was probably my least favorite of the major works... but I expect the movie will be superb if Jackson can work the same old LOTR magic.

Also, it has a dragon in it. I hope it's not just a knock-off of those things the Nazgûl rode, but something unique and really cool.

So when is this movie due? I wanna hold off reading the book. Books are allways better, so it will be the double whammy when experienced in that order.

I read the books for the first time in 1969, and I was late to the party. Why have you not read them before now?
