  The Hobbit + Nimoy = Despair

  10.23.08 | Kunochan | Permalink | Speak, friend and comment!

  Okay, so this isn’t new to 90% of the Tolkien fan community. But if there is some n00b out there, a young person who just discovered Tolkien, who hasn’t seen this — well, then I want to be the one to introduce it. Won’t somebody think of the children?
