You know Billy's not the only one who can wear a "skirt".
Does anybody else miss the Mayor? 'I just want to be a big snake.'

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Billy sings, yes.

How much cooler can Peter Jackson get. From sumi's link:
PJ to the fans at the TORn party:
We're very sorry for the things that we couldn't get right. We have at all times had total respect for our fans. I think that's very important - you've had respect for us and we hope we've returned that. I hope this is not the end! The best thing you could do is have a very subtle mass letter campaign, very subtle, very polite to New Line's boys and MGM's boys telling them to sort The Hobbit rights out.
but we've just finished the extended cut of the DVD. I finished the edit before I came over here - these poor bastards at Weta have got another 350 effects shots to do!....When King Kong's out the way I'd like to do a really high definition version with the best possbile picture quality.
Ah. He's such a geek. I love him. Want EE's with bloopers and gag reel NOW.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Hobbit! Hobbit!
Though I don't think Sir Ian Holm would be the best choice. Hmm...

In the press room after the Oscars, PJ said he would want the Hobbit to feel like part of the trilogy and would want Ian M. to play Gandalf - but he didn't mention Ian Holm - and I think Holm is too old to play Bilbo at that age.
Of course, all this depends on MGM and New Line figuring out the distribution rights....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I seem to recall Sir Ian saying that he'd love to play Gandalf the Grey again, and that G. the G. was a lot more fun to play than G. the White.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The best thing you could do is have a very subtle mass letter campaign, very subtle, very polite to New Line's boys and MGM's boys telling them to sort The Hobbit rights out.
I doubt that this deal is being held up because of lack of motivation. MGM probably has NL over a barrel trying to get as much of that sweet, sweet LotR money as possible...and there's not much NL can do about that. Perhaps they'll work out a distribution or backend deal instead.
