lol, Tom Bombadil is not the type of guy to give a flying hoot about the White Council and things like that.
They actually discussed that fact at the White Council. Having Tom Bombadil just doesn't make any sense from a narrative perspective in The Hobbit. They already have a quirky/wise forest dweller that helps out the dwarves in Beorn, no need for another one. And if Jackson neglected to include him in TLOTR, I don't see why he'd have a sudden change of heart and shoehorn him into The Hobbit.

CARS IN LOTR!!!1 lol
I am hyped to see these movies in theatres, but almost more hyped to watch the Extended Editions of them that are sure to follow on Blu-Ray and that'll hopefully be just as packed with awesome bonus features as the LOTR EEs are.
Regarding the trilogy, I think The Two Towers (extended of course) is my favorite. Just love all the Helm's Deep stuff. The build-up to the battle is perfect, and the elves coming to help out is probably the one change from the books that is without question an improvement (imo). Also Theoden is such a great character, and his "The Horse and The Rider" speech has to be one of my favorite moments of the trilogy.

The dialog was completely butchered and dumbed down for J6P.
Book Dialog
Èowyn: Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace.
Witch-king: Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.
Èowyn: Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may.
Witch-king: Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!
Èowyn: But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.
Film Dialog
Èowyn: I will kill you if you touch him!
Witch-king: Do not come between the Nazgûl and his prey.
Witch-king: Fool... No man can kill me... die now...
Èowyn: I am no man!
He also does this ventriloquism thing with the Hill Trolls to keep them arguing until sunrise- they keep hearing voices which each thinks belongs to one of the other trolls.Johnlenham said:
Oh, and more magical smoke rings.
And he relates a story of being caught in the Necromancer's dungeons and managing to escape; I'm sure PJ can make something from that.
Evlar said:
With the focus on the White Council and the expulsion of the Necromancer from Mirkwood (which happens before the Battle of the Five Armies if I recall correctly), we could actually see a lot of magic, with Gandalf, Saruman and (probably) Radagast all being wizards and more than a few Nazgul present at Dol Guldur.
(Why the fuck do I know so much about Tolkien?)

First batch of spy photos have begun to appear:

And Ian McKellan has a few interesting words to say about the screen test process and costume changes for Gandalf:

Also, Orlando Bloom will still not confirm or deny his cameo:

Oh lord I got nerd chills. I really miss not just the films, but the event of seeing them. Sure I went to see great, fun films like TDK at the theater and had a good time, but it didn't feel almost like a holiday, which is how the three films were for me. Me and my friend planned our entire schedules around seeing the movies on opening day
edit: fake? lol it was effective

Yeah, I guess it's just where that CinemaCon event is going on, and aside from a few things it's pretty well made-- I mean it even fooled PhoenixDark

As much as I'd have loved to have seen del Torro's version, I'm even happier knowing that THE person who should've always been on the job, is on the job in order to get the shit done and done right: Peter Jackson.
I'm so excited for these movies I feel like I'm a kid again. 10 years ago I read the books for the first time... just months before Fellowship premiered. To make a very long story short, these books changed my life - a lot of the people that have made an impact on my life are people I met through the book (or, in other words, an online forum). Damn.
Anyway, I can't accurately describe what I'm feeling right now. It's like a weird mix of nostalgia and excitement and happiness... it's like I'm 12 years old again and following every detail of the movie's production. Good times.

So the greatest adventure film of all-time is getting a prequel? YES!
Though I fear this won't be as good as The Lord of the Rings as that had a far more interesting story than The Hobbit.

That McKellan diary was a nice read. I hope he continues to post updates.
The hobbit is infinitely more adaptable. The fact that the man was able to do the best job possible with LOTR (I sorta' hated the third one and thought it was overstuffed and tonally off in spots, but I'll be the first to say Jackson killed it better than anyone has a right to ask for) and is now sinking his teeth into the easiest one to do is promising.Flying_Phoenix said:
Hell, the guy has even had some minor stumbles, which always helps assure a director won't get too nutty with the source material.
I remember being in awe of Fellowship mostly because they cut XACTLy what I would have cut and added stuff that made my mom like it too... without ruining anything.

Definitely agree with this. Any sense of urgency in that scene would have been deflated as they parleyed.
