Thanxx P-Dawg.  Personally I am eagerly awaiting League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.  Not only am I a big fan of the comic, but the trailers just look too cool for words.  This will probably be Sean Connery's last outing as a two-fisted action hero (unless a bizarre plot to take over all the world's nursing homes alerts Gran'pa Bond), but at least he will go out with a bang.  I hear they already have a sequel planned.  

I am still reserving judgement on Hulk.  The Hulk was one of my favorite characters as a kid and one of the main inspirations for me to take up powerlifting (yes, I know it sounds like a daft reason), so I am keeping my fingers crossed.  After the abyssmal Daredevil, though, I feel uneasy with Hollywood touching any Marvel property exept X-Men (well, Blade still ruled).

This really isn't a spoiler since it has been in every newspaper from here to Bombay, but Gary Oldman will be portraying rogue wizard Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

And of course, the one film that I definitely cannot miss under ANY circumstances is going to be Return of the King!  I am looking forward to seeing Shelob.  And word has it that Peter Jackson has been approached to direct The Hobbit some time in 2004.  Could you imagine seeing Smaug on the big screen.  Makes me go all shivery just thinking about it.

You used to powerlift?  I used to powerlift!

You and I are like brothers, Slant.  Like fake internet brothers.

uh... the same guy as before?

And yeah, hobbit would be cool. I would like for parts of the silmarion to get the treatment though. Or, failing that, for GW to get the rights to do minitures for it... they are doing a balins moria expedition set, and its rumoured they have acquired the liscence to hobbit and silmarrion already.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

The story of Barin One-hand would make an awesome movie.

He seems a little old. Yes, I know the magic of make up etc, but even when they show him in the cave in the intro to FOTR he's got a gnarled and wrinkley hand.

Yea that actor would be out of the question....

A whole movie of  a middle aged hobbit played by an elderly actor just wouldn't work, even with stretching the face and things like that.

Ian Holme IS getting a bit long in the tooth.  Who else would make a good Bilbo?  Maybe Paul McGann if they did the same special effects as with Elijah Wood and company.

Who was the guy that played the most recent Dr. Who--the one in the American TV movie? He'd be a great Bilbo.

Y'know, I think I still have that American TV Dr. Who movie around here somewhere.  Man, that seems like a while back.

I have got to say that I'd like to see Ian Holme in the part.  I think with the right make up and special effects that he could pull it off admirably.  He was a great Bilbo in the movies and was a great Frodo in the BBC radio dramatization (which I own and treasure).  He deserves the part...at least in my book.

Actually, Fell, Paul McGann WAS the last bloke to play Doctor Who on American tv (in that tv movie a few years back).  Dang, yo.  You must have been tuned in to my wavelength without even knowing it.  That's just spooky.  And just for you completionists, the last thing Paul McGann did in the US was his role of the vampire researcher in Queen of the Damned.

And we can get Tom Baker to star as another hobbit! or a dwarf!

Anyway, I just think hobbits make good eatin'. I'll wager Dr. Who does too.
