'The Hobbit': What I Should Have Said

I sort of wish I had kept updating this blog on the progress of Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit', but alas, a fatal flaw of mine is to start something but never have the dedication or incentive to see it through to the end.

If I did have the dedication to have updated this blog as news regarding 'The Hobbit' broke through, undoubtedly this is what I would have reported:

• What I made of Peter Jackson's Hobbit production/behind the scenes videos that were uploaded monthly/bi-monthly.
• What I made of the prospect of 'The Hobbit' being filmed and produced in 3D, instead of 2D as The Lord of the Rings was, and what an exciting prospect of it also being filmed in 48fps, instead of the usual 24fps.
• What I made of the news that PJ planned on turning The Hobbit into a THREE part film series as opposed to the previous two part.
• What I made of interviews and Sir Ian McKellen's live Q&A Twitter feeds.
• AND most importantly, what I thought of the long-awaited film when I finally got round to seeing it! After years of waiting and eager anticipation!

"Should have, would have, could have".

This isn't to say I didn't follow the news regarding this film almost constantly, and reported it to my friends, but there are of course far more dedicated and knowledgeable sites that I felt had all the necessary news, which I have referred to before. Not to mention I didn't have the time or willpower to make this blog complete, clearly shown by the lack of fine-polishing and lazy writing of my blog posts, which I take pride on when doing my academic work. Each blog post is simply first-draft standard, and will continue to be as such, should I decide to pick it back up at any point, so I apologise for that.

I would also like to apologise for the disappearance of pictures and the linked sites from said pictures on my previous posts, especially the post which linked to various fantasy armouries/weaponries sites, which seems to be popular.

I may decide to pick this blog back up again, as there are still TWO more Hobbit films left to go! And I feel like I owe it to Tolkien and Jackson to pay homage to their hard work, but we shall see.
