God these movies sucked ass, and now they're making another one. I hope this one at least makes sense. I guess New Line spent so much money on special effects, they didnt have enough to hire editors <sarcasm>.
Yes, I'm still bitter Lost in Translation lost out best director and picture oscars to this incoherent behemoth.
New Line Cinema is part of Time Warner. Although I'm sure they were thrilled about the billions LOTR took at the box office, this happened at the same time as they were/are running the Matrix and Harry Potter franchises. They were doing pretty well as it was.
The question more pertinent is perhaps: Why does Peter Jackson want to direct this...I wish he would do the Evangelion movie(s) instead.
Also, looks like MGM is getting a piece of this which is curious...They really only have a single cash cow left, which is Bond.
Total sales from the LOT movies (tickets, dvds, etc.) is an estimated $6 billion, and 100 million copies of the books sold worldwide...yea, just your basic piece of crap <sarcasm>.
Heard the news: The Hobbit Movie is going to be made.
Sorry this is off Archinect line, but thougt I would let Archinectors know. Guess Peter Jackson and New Line got it together.
and a sequel to the Hobbit too, for the years between it and LOTR.
Hmm...
discover your hobbit name here:
http://www.chriswetherell.com/hobbit/
mine is Bodo Proudfoot
(and yes, I am such a dork)
do you think tolkien wrote the code that helps figure this out?!
This is excellent news.
Fosco Took of Great Smials
Olo Bumbleroot of Fair Downs
This is good news. I guess New Line finally realized they wouldn't be in business today if it hadn't been for Peter Jackson.
Moro Loamsdown of Deephallow
it even sounds too silly for a hobbit name
Esmereldat Bramble of Willowbottom
But, too long for my screen name.
Sancho Brandybuck of Buckland
or
Togo Gamwich of the Bree Gamwiches
and my elven names
Orophin of Dorthonion
or
Mablung Táralóm
Popo Brockhouse of Loamsdown
or
Huor Séregon
I think I prefer my hobbit name.
Get back to work nerds...
"So, dml955i, you have chosen the way of pain."
pixel, are we related?!
LiG - is that your costume from Comicon this year? It's fantastic - I bet the ladies dug it.
Costume? I look like that everyday, including the icy glare. Somehow I always get a seat on the subway.
my last name starts with "w", perhaps its how the whole "Brockhouse of Loamsdown" bit is figured out?
well played sir...
best name ever. I'm changing my name to this:
Todo Proudneck of Longbottom
Orodreth Carnesîr!
Cool!
i didn't see the Elven name button, thanks to whoever mentioned it....
Hobbit Name - Ruby Overhill of Nobottle
Elven Name - Nessa Fëfalas
I definitely prefer the elven one.

Should have read "LOTR movies".
Oh, and my hobbit name is...
Bungo Baggins of Bywater
(proud to be part of the Baggins line).
