Hobbit - brief thought and [head]canon-related mirth
I'm stupidly enthused about all the cute little fanart of the Dwarves from The Hobbit. I'm going to give the film a couple more weeks to stew in my head before seeing it again, but I'm already looking forward to it. Since I wasn't a Tolkien fan when the LotR films came out, whereas now I'm possibly a bit too immersed for my own good, this trying to reconcile my annoyance with my glee is new. I think I'd do well to consider it as a big fancy AU, as I've noted some of you doing, although it's easier to accept AU in fanfic than in a blockbuster film already seen by millions of people and generating a new fanbase.
On a vaguely related note, have a picture of Richard Armitage as Angus in the Royal Shakespeare Company's 1999 production of Macbeth.
Also, I saw someone speculating on tumblr that Saruman
(tiny film spoiler if we've still got anyone trying to avoid those)
is straightedge because in the FotR films he complains about Gandalf smoking and in the Hobbit film he complains about Radagast eating too many mushrooms (evidently all of fandom is interpreting this to mean like 'shrooms, because we're all mature like that).
...
*snort*
BWAHAHAHA.
(My fanon Saruman is also falling over laughing.)
I was tempted to reblog that with a bunch of Unfinished Tales quotes, but actually if straightedge wants to identify with a character most people hate, yeah, go for it..
Ahahahaa.
