We are on a Richard Armitage run over here. I make no apologies. But I would not be a true fan (of the Armitage or of Sarah Rees Brennan) if I didn't direct you to her brilliantly nerdy parody of the film version of The Hobbit entitled Thorin Dreamboatshield: an Unexpected Hotness of Dwarves. It's good to be the dwarf king . . .
Somehow the end of the year is here. And we're all here. And I still feel like placing this post in this space. So I shall. With gratitude and a certain wistful hope. For us all. But especially for these books, the people that walk them, their words, and their creators.

That was so funny. I also liked the movie but saw its flaws and am wondering how they are going to get 2 more movies out of the book. However, Richard Armitage is quite hot even as a dwarf so I'll be there. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. It still feels like the 3-film stretch was the wrong call.
DeleteBut I never object to another 3 hours of Richard Armitage. No, I don't.
A Richard Armitage run is a very good thing. And yes, I also wonder how they'll milk three movies of The Hobbit. But as long as we can look forward to Richard, I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? :)
DeleteYep, I'll be seeing each one as it comes out.
Um mine. No one else's.
ReplyDeleteSurely we can share, Katie. We've managed to with Warner after all . . .
DeleteThank you, I laughed and laughed!
ReplyDeleteShe is brilliant.
DeleteI read this and laughed so hard and LOVED it so hard as well. DREAMBOATSHIELD FOR SURE!! <3 Alyssa
ReplyDeleteSo did I, Alyssa. I kept trying to quote bits to my husband but was giggling too hard to deliver them properly.
