Chaos is a ladder.

++ Game of Thrones S3: Chaos teaser. Still waiting for an actual trailer with footage, but this is still pretty damn cool. It reminds me of that one BSG promo.

++ I'm going to be seeing The Hobbit for the fourth time tomorrow. Just catching it once more before it leaves theaters.

I'm still in the process of writing my review for it, but I just want to say that I really, really love this movie. Not only does this bring up all the nostalgia of when LOTR came out, but it has made me appreciate the world Tolkien set up and I'm understanding a lot more now than I did many years ago. Never mind my love for particular characters that I never thought I would ever have certain emotions for (i.e. all the dwarves.) It just makes me happy that it's been made into three movies to extend my love for these characters and the story. Besides, come on, who wouldn't want an extensive time revisiting Middle Earth for another year and some?

I've seen criticism about there being three movies, and it really amuses me whenever someone complains about that than anything else. I mean, I initially was confused as well, but when you take a moment to consider the incredibly vast world Tolkien has with all this detailed backstory and mythology, it really makes sense. So any kind of criticism about it being too long or about it becoming a trilogy is PJ "selling out" and trying to "cash in" on everything makes me laugh. Like seriously, if you honestly think that, you must be new.

Peter Jackson is the only one I would trust to create these movies with the kind of passion and respect to the original source material as possible. I'd say, let him make extended everything. Make each of the Hobbit movies nine hours long for all I care. I wouldn't mind, and I don't think most fans wouldn't either. Like you said, look at the extended editions of LOTR. Even with all those hours it still wasn't enough. We want more because we love it.

Heh, sorry for ranting a bit there. :S
