Y'all, this interview of Elijah Wood being interviewed by Stephen Colbert is the cutest thing, especially the latter part where they discuss the Hobbit. They compare swords (wink wink, nudge nudge). Stephen totally geeks out.  *draws sparkly hearts around both of them* 





Did you catch the part where Elijah briefly channeled Ned Stark?  ("Winter is coming...")

On the subject of things that are amazing, here is a gorgeous extended-exposure photo of a moonbow beside a gorgeous waterfall with the Northern lights overhead.  How so awesome, Iceland?

Meanwhile, the lyrics meme is still open if anyone else cares to hazard a guess at the remaining songs.  I'll probably post answers tomorrow.

Look!  Peter Jackson just released a ten minute video diary about preproduction and the start of filming on the set of The Hobbit. 

SQUEEEEE!!!! 



How the heck am I going to deal with this level of anticipation for as long as it will take to get this movie released??? 

I'm highly amused by the welcome ceremony where everyone in the cast and crew is wearing street clothes except for Andy Serkis, who appears to already be in his motion capture suit.  Possibly that IS what he wears on the street?  Also, presumably when everyone has their costumes and is acting in character, my brain will be a little less "ha, John Watson is in Middle Earth!"
