Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, mah motherfucking god. Hobbit casting. Requisite grain of salt, but amongst others:

  • Martin Freeman as Bilbo
  • Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield
  • Aidan Turner as Kili

Others rumoured to be involved somehow:

  • Stephen Fry
  • Bill Nighy

LotR recycling:

  • Andy Serkis
  • Ian McKellen

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Frogs trailer. Not for arachnophobes.

Martin Freeman as Bilbo

I love him but no. Isn't he busy being Dr Watson?

The seasons are three episodes long. Busy isn't the word I'd use.

After scoping out Freeman's imdb page I gotta admit there is a bit of a resemblance to Elijah Wood.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I read that as Morgan Freeman at first. I was REALLY confused.

By the way, if anyone sees Paranormal Activity 2, can you let me know if anything happens to the dog? That will probably determine whether or not I see the movie.

hip deep in pie

Rayne, my coworker saw it last night and says:

the dog gets hurt but probably lives, and you don't see it getting hurt

Art Crawl!!!

Richard Armitage as a dwarf?

Is he proportionally taller than Martin Freeman as a dwarf would be to a hobbit?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

John Rhys Davies is 6'1. Ian McKellen is 5'11. I think they'll work out a way.

Art Crawl!!!

And didn't JRD work because he was as much taller than the hobbit actors as a dwarf would be to a hobbit?

But then - are people like Aidan Turner that tall?
