Greetings! Congratulations! Welcome!

Unto Guillermo the Director, Greetings and Salutations!! Uh, the folks here aren't insane, they're just really, *really*, really enthusiastic! Thanks for actually being here (well, virtually--you know what I mean), but have you gotten yourself in deep! Everyone and his ex-brother-in-law has an opinion (about "The Hobbit" and everything else!), and they're all going to want to tell you what they feel is the coolest, niftiest, sure-fire successful {fill-in-the-blank here}. So, with that in mind, here are my sugestions: 1. Do cameos; they're fun, and they're your "tag" in your films; 2. Make Peter do cameos, too; he has a real knack for comedy! (see ROTK) 3. Please remember that things don't change very quickly in Middle-Earth; "fashion" is actually an 18th-Century idea, so Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, Men-of-the-West, Istari wizards, etc. will be dressed pretty much the same way they were in FOTR, except maybe the Hobbit lasses had a different fad in ribbons or caps back in Bilbo's time, and the Elves were into different colorways for their garb; 4. WETA Digital is too cool for words, but I don't envy them having to create Smaug! They did the Cave Troll, Great Eagles, Balrog, Fell-beasts, Shelob, the Mumakil, and all the other beasts on the field at Pelennor-- and now, Smaug has to blow all those critters out of the water! And, no, I haven't a clue which actor would do a good Smaug voice! 5. If the action-figure company offers to make a Hobbit action figure of yourself, do it! 6. I like wizards; I mean, I really, *really*, really like wizards, and I really like Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee; so I think you really, *really*, really need more wizard scenes!! And my favorite wizards r-r-really need some lush Elven clothes when they're in Rivendell or Lothlorien!! 7. Does history repeat itself? CAN history repeat itself?? (can I insert photos into this post without messing it up? hope so!) (seems not; they didn't appear in preview or first post) Would you have trusted these two guys to make a blockbuster in 1981? (...uh, maybe?) Will you trust *these* two guys to make a blockbuster in 2010? (Heck, yes!!) Best wishes, good luck, and all the stamina you're gonna need to pull these two balrogs out of a hat!
