Wow, apparently everything I like is mainstream now.
I'm losing Tortal, Percy Jackson, Narnia, Sanctuary, Adam Lambert (okay, I actually don't care about that, but IT IS KIND OF FUNNY!), Avatar:TLA, Castle, Leverage and Veronica Mars.
BUT MY LITTLE PONY IS STILL SAFE!
Now I need to think of new fandoms. Besides Revenge, I mean.

I haven't figured out how to embed this yet, but the new Hobbit Vlog is up and, well, it's up.
A large part of my SHEER EXCITEMENT about this is that every time I watch a vlog, I am reminded that the movie is happening at all. I mean, I know it's happening, but seeing Martin Freeman in MULTIPLE COSTUMES (btw, I kind of want that dressing gown), means that it's not some kind of MASSIVE HOAX perpetrated by the entire country of New Zealand to get back at everyone else for making fun of them.
WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC, I MAY DIE.
This vlog was mostly about the cameras, which I found incredibly reassuring. I'm not a huge fan of 3D, but if there is ANYONE IN THE WORLD I trust to do it properly, it's Peter Jackson. And watching them build this movie from the concept art up in 3D is just...SO FREAKING AWESOME. (And seriously, is there anyone alive (besides Richard Taylor), who is cuter than Andrew Lesnie? Also: WHERE IS RICHARD TAYLOR?)
The vlog is 10 minutes and change, and is almost entirely technical (people talking about the cameras THEY INVENTED and then the make-up/costuming techniques THEY INVENTED to match the filming), but in the background...OH GOD, THIS MOVIE IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
(The best part is when Elijah Wood is watching his shot, in full costume, and says "Hey! It's like you're in it!" except that no one yells "YOU ARE IN IT, ELIJAH!" Except me, obviously. But he probably didn't hear me.)
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE!
Have the link again.
