Rumor: Peter Jackson is considering a a DC movie. This would have been great fucking news in 2001!

Peter Jackson, who by my very forgiving assessment hasn’t made a good movie since 2003, is considering directing a DC movie. I’m already anticipating laughing at some thirty-five minute extended CG sequence.

New ‘THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG’ TRAILER: Hobbits, Prophecies, Inept Wizards

The Hobbit - Something Such.

Hey! Here’s a new trailer for The Hobbit: Peter Jackson Commits the Same Exact Sins as the Prequels. I oscillate between being very excited, and remembering how disappointing I found the first installment. (Which should have been the only installment, because it’s the fucking Hobbit, not Fan Service: Elves, Frodo, and Thirteen Hours of Filler.)

‘THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG’ Trailer: OH GOD LEGOLAS WHATEVER.

The Desolation of Smaug.

Here’s the trailer for The Desolation of Smaug. I’m not going to stunt, I enjoy seeing some dragon up in the game. It’s a shame that it took a three-hour prelude movie. It’s a shame that Jackson has to stick every fucking bit of fan service into these movies that he can. Whatever, whatever. Benjamin Cumbersnatch as a dragon. Right on.

What do you all think of the trailer?

New ‘THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY’ poster is partying like it is 2001.

Peter Jackson is getting his thematic harmony on. Or someone in the marketing department. Whatever the case, the new poster for The Hobbit: Part 1 of 17 has dropped, and it is reminiscent of the LOTR posters of yore. Like a long time ago. Or a decade. Eleven years? Something.

‘THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY’ gets 20 new images. Including Legolas’ dad.

Here’s a truckload of new pictures from The Hobbit: Bloated Subtitles. Nothing really tremendous in them for me, but I’m not particularly excited about the whole endeavor at this point.

THIRD ‘HOBBIT’ MOVIE confirmed for 2014. Like six or seven people are really enthused.

Stretch it out and make a million, zillion dollars! Yeehaw. That has to be what the Hive-Mind Business Executives are thinking now that they’ve greenlighted Peter Jackson’s creamy-pants desire to mistakenly stretch out The Hobbit into three films. You know, the same amount of movies the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy spanned.
