I hate it when movies are advertised a year out. I want to see it NOW!!!!
Sparing a glaring omission of major plot content (i.e. Peter Jackson's bitch ass omitting The Scouring of the Shire from ROTK), I'll probably enjoy it too.

Absolutely. There's no reason that you won't enjoy the Hobbit. It was a great book too, and I'm confident that ol' Pete will do just as well converting it into a movie as LOTR.

Reading this just broke me for the rest of the day. I can't stop laughing.
I don't even know if I'll be able to drive home.

Looks pretty good. I'm glad they finally finished this while Gandalf was still young enough to pull it off. Good casting for Bilbo, but it's crazy how many iconic roles in British literature he's played now. I was hoping to see Sylvester McCoy in the trailer, but oh well. Unless I did and didn't recognize him through makeup.

I actually fear seeing this movie, 'The Hobbit' being my absolute favorite before any of the Trilogy.
I really hope Jackson can cut out some of the silly, rampant, poorly executed melodrama that plagued the previous three movies. Hopefully they put more emphasis on the musical aspects of the book as well.
The trailer sure did look good though.

I never understood that hate.
That movie was so anti-climatic.... That would have just made it a bigger borefest.

I just hope that's an epic trolling attempt.
Otherwise I fear for the ignorance of that person.
This Hobbit movie looks like it will be badass. Can't wait to see the Battle of the Five Armies and Smaug.
EDIT: Glad to see and hear singing.

Hawt!
Only 2 downsides I can think of:
1) The Hobbit will be split into 2 parts, so we might have to wait 2 yrs to see the conclusion.
2) The movie is being filmed at 48fps. Being a bit of a movie snob, I'd prefer if they stuck to the traditional 24fps.

I can think of no good reason why you would prefer that.
I'm amazed most movies are still being shot at 24fps.
There is such a phenomenal jump in quality in video games going from 30 to 60, for instance. I imagine the same must be true for movies.

You ever been to like, Best Buy and gone to the HDTV section? There's usually a tv or 2 (or 10) that is running a movie at 60fps? It looks like shit. I don't want movies to look like some tv soap opera. When ever I watch a movie at home, I make sure it's running at 24fps.

Oh for fuck's sake, here comes the cash grab. Hobbit isn't even that long of a book. It's shorter than any of the LotR trilogy, which he somehow managed to film each as single movies. The story was pretty well adapted as a 75 minute fucking cartoon. I can't imagine the possible justification for turning this into two movies, other than to draw out the payday.

It's the same as turning one season of a show into two, to drag it out and make that money. I'd bitch but I know my punk ass will be there opening day for both

Good to see they'll split it into two. I haven't read the LOTR Trilogy or The Hobbit. I still remember when Fellowship of The Ring came out my mom wanted to know what the big deal was because she had to read The Hobbit when she was in school and she hated it. If it's split into two films they won't have to cram so much into one film and leave the fans wanting more pr worry about leaving things out. I hope he's doing both parts at the same time like he did with Two Towers and Return of The King. So hopefully it'll be December of 2012 for An Unexpected Journey and hopefully summer time for There and Back Again. Kinda like what they did with the two parts of the last Harry Potter film.

It's being directed by the same guy who felt King Kong had to be three hours. So yeah.
