NOTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD MATTERS BUT THIS.

(ALSO this comes out on 12/13 so I will have seen a new Hobbit movie on the first and last days of my 23rd year. You doin’ me right, PJ.)

I made it 2 hrs into The Hobbit last night before I had to shut it off and go to sleep… at 9:30pm. Please hold your applause until the end.

My book also arrived and though I haven’t had a chance to examine it thoroughly (see previous paragraph) it has fold outs of both Thorin’s map and the Burglar Contract so safe to say it’s the best thing ever.

Also all I want is to live in Bag End. For real.

I have a sizable collection of books detailing the production of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and so I’m pretty sure I need to add this. Also this when it’s released. And oh man The Hobbit comes out on DVD on the 19th #bless this life! Edit: Ordered it. And Preordered The Hobbit. Yes, I’m going to buy the extended edition whenever that comes out and whatever cray boxed set or whatever they end up offering once all three movies are out. Cain’t hold me down!

Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins and his scale double Kiran Shah in The Fellowship of the Ring When Kiran was fifteen years old he read the books, The Lord of the Rings. He always wondered if anyone would make these books into films. His dream came true in 1999 when he received a phone call from Peter Jackson asking him to meet for an interview and then asked him to work on the films. Kiran Shah started work on The Lord of the Rings from August 1999 and for next two years was based in New Zealand. For next two years he was flying back and forth to do pick-ups on the next two films. He finished filming all three films at the end of 2002. In these films Kiran was a scale and stunt double for Hobbits. He mainly doubled Frodo (Elijah Wood) but ended up doubling all five Hobbits. Scale double means that every time you see the hobbits looking small on screen maybe on a wide shot that’s Kiran you’re looking at. Kiran needed to study all the characters mannerism so it would look perfect on screen. He was given a team of four little people, to train them to work in mask, movement and sword play. This meant that in scenes where four or five Hobbits were seen he didn’t have to cover all of the Hobbits, but ended up playing the lead Character in that scene. All the scale stunts were done by Kiran. Kiran is Bilbo’s scale double in The Hobbit and despite all the elements that made the movie feel like coming home it was seeing Kiran standing in front of Bag End that really made it. Missed you, buddy.

Dear future children,

I will sing to you sleep with the Misty Mountains song

I’m excited for the first Hobbit for a whole passel of reasons, but mostly because I’ve been waiting 10 years for a LotR movie to come out on my birthday AND THIS YEAR IT IS!!!!! Ugh, I probably have to start planning to buy tickets now to make sure I actually can go see it on my birthday, though…

bohemea: Peter Jackson on the set of Fellowship in 2001 & The Hobbit in 2011 Still not used to the new PJ. I hope he still runs around barefoot! You may be skinny now and not wear glasses, but you know you’re still a hobbit at heart, my friend.

I CAN’T WAIT. Take me away, PJ!

Middle Earth (and the Shire, specifically) feels the most like home to me as any place I’ve ever been. I’m so excited for The Hobbit!
