The coming of Merry and Pippin will be as the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.

Farewell, my brave hobbits. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.

In case you didn’t know, they are currently filming J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit in New Zealand. After several years of pre-production woes, lawsuits, and a revolving door of directors, filming finally started in March. Peter Jackson, who was originally slated as producer, is directing. All is well with the world. The man who spent more than a decade bringing The Lord of the Rings Trilogy to the screen should be in charge of its prequel. The Lord of the Rings had a huge impact on me creatively, spiritually, and in many other ways. The commitment, passion, craftsmanship, and excellence poured into that story is inspiring. And it appears the same care is being taken with The Hobbit. As proof, I offer this squeal-inducing video published on The Hobbit Blog a few months ago which you can watch here.
I’m happy to report that a huge number of the original cast are returning, at least appropriate cast. Read more

I have loved the television version of The Scarlet Pimpernel since high school. It came out 27 years ago. And I am officially old.
What I Liked: This is romance at its best. Intrigue, adventure, agonizing obstacles. There are moments in the story when you want to yell at the screen, “Turn around!” or “Tell him!” Sigh. Read more
