The Hobbit

I don't think Mr. Boll is a regular reader of words, period.

But I hear he sure can box...

Don't ruin my night by telling me Mr. Boll is a regular reader of Tolkien's works. :\

Actually I don't think you'd have to worry, as the means by which Boll made his films, a loophole in German tax law, has been closed, thus preventing him from bastardizing any more subjects the geek community considers "cool" save those he's already secured the rights to. That and given his lack of success in the American box office, I don't think any of the major studies would touch him with a 50-foot pole.

Case in point: BloodRayne. I did some research on the chararacter and games for a Mutants & Masterminds build sometime back. She's actually a surprisingly interesting character given her appearance, and the game plots also have some merit. Boll took the character and turned it into a soft-core porno.

I'd really like it if Peter Jackson, who we know is a professed fan of Tolkien's work (we saw the effects of his enthusiasm for the subject in the quality of LotR), were to be the man to helm The Hobbit. One can only hope I guess.

So, no geek stepping up to fight him? Come on! Since we have athletic types coming to join our geek community, let's make use of them.

I'm glad to see the German government have taken action for our interest, but I personally think up until now they're punishing us for bashing their American God, David Hasselhoff.

That and the existence of Scientology and Tom Cruise.

And this is surprising because...?

She's a big-busted babe who wears almost nothing and is a freakin' vampire. How can she NOT turn into soft-core porn?

Because Lokan is not big-busted?

Because Lokan is not big-busted?

No, she's juuuuuuuust fine!

And Pink agrees with me!

Google Kristanna Loken and Pink to see what I'm talkin' about!

I know she's fine. The first time I saw her was on the short-lived Pensacola TV series, about US marine aviators. She played James Brolin's teenaged daughter.

She's just not big-busted.

Wikipedia. There's a bit more to her than that.

Anyways, I thought this was about a film version of The Hobbit, not the travesties that are Uwe Boll films.

Well, I still want to know if they rebuilt Hobbiton on the same plot of farmland in Matamata.
