Reading the book at the moment (just got to Mirkwood) good place to end first part maybe.Hope film is as good ,can't be better than book never are just look at Jaws,you can't beat the characters in your head but i must admit you do get pretty damn close with yours.And remember don't go off the forest path.
It's amazing and impressive all the work that Peter Jackson and the rest of the crew has to do to make such as masterpiece. I'm so thankful for their devotion and love for this project! Can't wait for dec.13,2012 !!
@Scyphos Buddy, that so true! I'd do anything to work with these guys, even the smallest task. Honestly, these guys, from the smallest extra to Peter himself is on this amazing trip. Sure it's stressful but I bet they have a blast of a time doing it!
But also, its great that we do get to be a part of that journey and as good as the movies will be (which I'm sure they will) its the anticipation and these little pieces that they show us that makes the wait so amazing too!
Great vlog as usual. But I really think Peter Jackson is looking a lot better with the weight gain. Frankly, I'd prefer it if he went back to looking like he did before or as close to it as he can and still feel healthy. Maybe it's just me, but I always thought he looked really tied and unhealthy when he slimmed down.
@checkmate3010 Agreed!! This is very exciting to see. And about his weight gain, even though I don't wanna see him in bad health, I'm going to come out and say that the more weight he had on, the better his films were.
@checkmate3010 I think he was skinny when directing king kong and that was terrible. So lets hope the weight will bring the same magic as it did in lotr xD
But seriously LOTR is my favorite trilogy of all time. Its up there with star wars and harry potter. I would hate to be peter jackson right now.
I aint gunna lie, New Zealand is a seriusly pretty country.
