Oh, this is the best-looking year for movies EVER. I'm excited for Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, and Amazing Spider-Man. But I think I'm most looking forward to The Hobbit. I still can't believe it's been over a decade since Fellowship came out. I was only 11 years old. Fuck, time really flies.
I've been waiting years for The Hobbit. First they were saying they would make it after Return of the King, then they said they'd make it after Peter Jackson remade King Kong. Then the film got stuck in development hell for the next six years, and that whole time I was praying for something to happen, anything. And honestly? I had given up on it. I was no longer expecting it to ever happen, so it was like Christmas day for me when they not only announced it was finally happening, but that Peter Jackson would be coming back. I'm still curious to see what Del Toro had planned for it, but I'm still happy to know the movie is in the best hands possible.
So yeah, this better be awesome.
