Shove It Down Your Damn Hobbit-Hole
 |
?Just a reminder: There’s a bunch of Hobbit-holes currently in New Zealand, just waiting for someone at MGM to get their shit figured out long enough so somebody can direct a Hobbit movie. Seriously; although no one’s currently in charge of the movie, a crew has been building the Shire for months now, and it’s there, waiting to be filmed. Check out this gallery of the set, just chilling, unused, and try not be depressed and/or a little angry. Thanks to Logan for the infuriating tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
