The Hobbit trailer is out, and my mind is blown

^That is how I feel like celebrating right now. The first trailer for the first hobbit movie is out, and if I do say, in my expert opinion... It's incredible.



I am unbelievably happy that Peter Jackson ended up directing this movie, and this trailer is evidence why. I definitely feel that ultimately, middle earth needs to be in his hands. No one can bring it to life like he can.

This trailer brings me back to the original FotR trailer (speaking of which, happy 10th anniversary to that movie, as of yesterday). Every time I watched it (and like most in nerd culture, obsessive doesn't even begin to describe my love of it), I got a feeling that I can only describe as engrossing. Or tingly, and deeply confusing. Mostly just engrossing. This world and these characters I had been imagining were coming to life in a way even my vivid imagination couldn't fathom. It wasn't just a trailer, and it wasn't just a movie. It was an experience, that I was a part of. And seeing the trailer for The Hobbit: An unexpected journey makes me feel the exact same way.

Needless to say, I'm counting the days- hell, the minutes until it's release. And I'll definitely be at the midnight premiere. And I'll feel incredibly nostalgic for 10 years prior, and unbelievably happy that I'm experiencing that all over again.

Until next time, Namarie
