Hobbit Sequel Trailer Hits the Web! The Desolation of Smaug!
Enough video game trailers already, let’s check out The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug! Also, do we really need the word ‘the’ to appear twice? Kind of awkward. Just sayin’.
I’m happy to at least report that this film will have infinity more dragons than the last movie, so that’s a plus. The trailer seems pretty alright to me. Nothing too bone-chillingly cool, but generally energized. Apparently the dwarves are going to ride down a river in barrels? That looks like fun. And Legolas shows up for no discernible reason.
I imagine I’m going to enjoy this movie equally to how much I enjoyed the first Hobbit, which is good enough for me.
Dwarven Rock!
The Hobbit comes out on DVD soon, but remember to wait for the eventual extended edition.
Who in their right mind would buy the regular edition? This bit of awesomeness was brought to us by Warialasky.
How The Hobbit Should Have Ended
The How it Should Have Ended folks are back on top by making a video that actually shows an alternate ending to a movie! Wow! It’s not just a bunch of jokes about the film itself. This video actually shows how The Hobbit should have ended! Magnificent. Though they also can’t resist making the same tired “Why don’t we take the eagles everywhere?” joke.
The answer is simple, people! In the Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship went on foot in order to avoid detection! If they flew on the eagles, Sauron and Sarumon would see them coming from miles away! By going on foot, they remained undetected. Frodo and Sam made it all the way to Mount Doom without armies of orcs being sent after them, right? It’s the same reason Bartleby and Loki walked from Wisconsin to New Jersey in Dogma.
A flock of giant eagles kind of stands out.
Gollum Rap Battle Will Blow Your Minds
I don’t know if I say this enough, but I love the Internet. If we didn’t have the Internet, then people wouldn’t make awesome stuff like that video and share it with the world. Hats off to Extremely Decent Films for some quality Gollum time. The voice is great, the actor is great, the lyrics are hilarious, good, quality stuff.
An Unexpected Rap: There and Back Again
Frog Island brings us this Hobbit-themed rap video. It’ll do until Dan Bull makes one of his own.
