The Hobbit Movie: 3D or Imax?

J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic novel, The Hobbit, is getting the big screen treatment once again. Guillermo Del Toro leaves open the possibility that it might be in 3D and/or Imax.

Lots of good audio versions of The Hobbit available. Here’s one.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

— J R R Tolkien

Could You Be More Boring at 5:45 AM, Central Time?

“Infield Fly Rule” is the top search? Endometriosis? “Dead Leaves”? Tucker Bounds? Eris Quod Sum?

You’re still looking for that Jenny Rivera porno. No video de sexo. Hablas Ingles? Give it a break. She’s not that cute. Who cares?

Huh. “Dead Leaves” is some kind of horrible, acid-trip anime. Okay, maybe you’re more interesting than I thought, Internetz. But not in a good way.

Endometriosis is a common medical condition “characterized by growth beyond or outside the uterus of tissue resembling endometrium, the tissue that normally lines the uterus“. Eww. Women are gross.

Ah. Eris Quod Sum (Latin for “I Am What You Will Be”) was the title of last nights episode of Heroes.

What Be You I Am Will Do Onions.

Eris Quod Sum? Latin for: What Be You I Am Will Do Onions.

The Infield Fly Rule is meant to prevent unfair gamesmanship by the fielders that would result in and easy double or triple play. Apparently it was an issue in Philly last night.

You’re also searching for McCain campaign spokesman, Tucker Bounds. Can’t quite figure out why.  Not really that interested. 

You’re also searching for info on spontaneous human combustion. Apparently, there was a show on the Discovery Channel about it last night. Damn, I missed it. Looks good. Some speculate that spontaneous human combustion is caused by Alien Radio Waves. You better believe it, baby.

More on the other interesting search this morning in a few minutes, Internetz.

Sarah Palin is a Diva. Of course. Uppity Woman.

 

Sarah Palin, Diva! Yeah, baby, yeah!

Sarah Palin, Diva! Yeah, baby, yeah!

Make that “uppity Republican woman”. This is the new meme being pushed hard by the MSM and liberal partisan hacks in general. Yeah, they are still on about her clothes, but this is the new big “scandal” that will bring down the charismatic and popular Palin.

Pull quote:

She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone. She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else. She is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party.

Hmm. I can see why inside the beltway blueblood Republican hacks might not like that. But it certainly doesn’t bother me. I’m more prone to say, “Thank God!”

Maybe that’s just me. 

 

Sarah Palin as a Conservative Diva. Inside the Beltway Rinos and Liberals Think Its a Bad Thing. I think It Is Very, Very Good.

I mean, this is from the AFP. It’s supposed to say something bad about Palin. But all it says to me is good. It says she’s right, and the McCain campaign cronies who have been mismanaging his stupid campaign from day one are wrong. They have been wrong, they are wrong now, and will continue to be wrong. 

Pull quote:

 

The report said Palin was now increasingly willing to disregard orders from advisors, suggesting the Republican running mate was in the initial stages of forging her own identity for a future tilt at the White House.

“She’s lost confidence in most of the people on the plane,” said a senior Republican quoted by Politico, adding that Palin had already begun to “go rogue” in some of her public pronouncements on the campaign trail.

You go, Sarah. You go.

This is the wishquote of the piece, inspired by some wishful liberal push-polling:

News of tensions within the McCain camp comes after polls suggested Palin — who electrified the party when named as running mate in August — is now dragging down the Republican ticket.

GayPatriot kind of likes the idea of Palin as a diva. Interesting take. Can’t say I disagree.
