Okay.

Obviously Peter Jackson's video and the prospect of seeing Middle-earth again has me way more excited than I could ever have anticipated. I hereby apologise for all future squeeing, picspams, video posts and whathaveyou. Apparently it's not just another movie being made to me.

With that out of the way...

I think there's a stunt wire at the 2.07 mark. XD

I've always loved this trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-7x5D3v6jE). I think because, as I wasn't a Tolkien fan at the time, I like to imagine what longtime fans would have thought, the excitement (and trepidation) that must have built.

You're up late O.o

You mean it's not real? O.o

Oh yes! That one is great, too :D I'm so happy to be around from the start this time--I can be excited about everything too, even though I've only been a fan for ten years now :)

It's late, but it's not THAT late. It's 1:49 a.m. on a Saturday night. I think I can manage. (I say all this, even though I'm headed to bed now.)

It's sort of weird to be involved with this at the beginning, as you said. Both good and bad. I don't want my expectations to be so grand they exceed the movie.

(Goodnight! :-) )

I don't think mine will. Having seen THE LOVELY BONES and KING KONG I'm actually a bit anxious about THE HOBBIT as a film--there was so much CGI in those films they completely overshadowed the rest of the film. But I'm just...very excited "come home". See Bag End again, and Rivendell, and Gandalf...that sort of thing.

Truthfully, I don't think we have to worry about the issues with those other movies. He's proven he can do Middle Earth. The effects will look BETTER because it's been a decade, but he's not going to pull an Ep.1-3 Lucas on us.

God, I hope so. With King King and The Lovely Bones it just felt like "SHINY CGI! LET'S GO WILD" and then those movies ended up being waaaay too long. Then again, I don't think I could ever be in Middle-earth for too long.

I feel the exact same way! It's great to be around from the start this time, and see the fandom build up all over again! Very excited too - PJ's video was amazing.

and see the fandom build up all over again!

Exactly! I'm so excited already and I hope it's only going to get better :)
