The Hobbit, Tolkien-geekery, and RIchard Armitage

[theladylucilla]

OMG, has it been *that* long since I posted here...!?

'The Hobbit' (part one) opens next week!  YAY!

I've been having a bit of a Tolkien-inspired geek-gasm in the past few days, and the movie hasn't even opened yet.  *g*

I'd read all the books ages ago, and had very much been a Tolkien nerd when I was in my teens/twenties.

Over the years, though, that

eeeeee I'm so excited! re-read the book, listen to the hobbit ost everyday....and guh yes, Richard Armitage. I actually didn't really learn about him til last year when I saw him as a male lead in the later series of Spooks. And haha are you me I watched N&S a couple days ago, solely for him! Jesus he was hot. *-*

Hehe! And here I thought I was weird for watching N&S now even though I hadn't even seen Armitage in 'The Hobbit' yet...!

Looks like he's going to be my latest fannish actor obsession, where I have to try to see everything else he's ever done in the last ten years, LOL! (I'm looking around now for 'Robin Hood' episodes, and I guess I need to add 'Spooks' to the list!)

I'm still deciding if I want to go see the premiere at midnight (I'd have to go alone), or wait until the regular showtimes on Friday.

I'd been avoiding 'Hobbit'-related news and fannish stuff for a long time, simply because I wanted to watch it with as few preconceived ideas as possible. I wasn't even gonna re-read the book until after the film came out
