Go to **Mahaloth** `s link. You`ll see a picture of Peter Jackson and 6 or 7 smaller images below it. You can either run through the entire list of 150 pictures or page along to the very end. Elrond is the 5th or 6th last image. Though looking at it again, he seems to have a baton or walking stick instead of a sword at his hip. ---

I love the shot of Bilbo reading the lengthy contract while the dwarves look on. I wonder what the significance is of the dagger at the White Council. Were they intending that that one dwarf look like Kelsey Grammar, or is this happenstance? Why are there ā€œacornsā€ stamped on that map of middle earth? Will Radagast be this yearā€™s Jar-jar? Thanks to that slide show I learned a new word today: ā€œknuckledusterā€. ---

Thanks to that slide show I learned a new word today: ā€œknuckledusterā€. Bilboā€™s buttons seem to be stamped with an acorn - I imagine the acorns on the maps are chapter or sceen selections from the DVDs I pray Radagast isnā€™t a fool. Iā€™m fine with a wizard focused on flora and fauna but not an idiot. Please dear god, not an idiot. ---

Aah, shouldnā€™tā€¦ listenā€¦ butā€¦ I know if I listen, Iā€™ll spend ages trying to work out whatā€™s happening where, which would spoil some of the suprise (which Iā€™m still hoping is a nice suprise), butā€¦ Incidently, can anyone assist me here at all? Iā€™m trying to find some quality, preferably useable (that is, not a simple decorative object), Tolkien themed merchandise for my Dad, who recites Elvish poetry when drunk, but is otherwise impossible to find presents for. You lot seem like you might be good to ask for inspirationā€¦ šŸ˜ƒ ---

They just posted which theaters are going to show the film in the native 48 fps format. [Yes! River East 21!](http://www.thehobbit.com/hfr3d/) ---

Wow, my local theater made the list. I wish 48 FPS was available in 2D. If it is, Iā€™m there.
