Enough, Already With All the Freaking Hobbit Dwarves
For the fourth time in eight days, the Internet is abuzz with sightings of new dwarves from The Hobbit. That brings the number of such recently revealed characters to a grand total of 10 -- almost but not quite enough to make a sexy, sexy Dwarves of The Hobbit calendar for the Tolkien obsessive in your life. In all sincerity, I hope you get that calendar. Just not right now.
Seriously, enough, already with all the freaking Hobbit dwarves. Of course I get the excitement and emotion and anticipation of the pair of films Peter Jackson is finally making in New Zealand. I get the stakes, and I get the romance. But come on. Dwarf hype? Come. On. These movies are 17 months to 29 months away (respectively) from theaters! We'll have a presidential election, a Summer Olympics and two World Series before we have An Unexpected Journey in December 2012. We'll probably even have another Terrence Malick film before we have There and Back Again a year later.
Anyway, here are the new dwarves -- Bofur, Bombur and Bifur. The rest are here, here and here. Collect the whole set. Or not. Either way: Pace yourselves, for Christ's sake.

Hey, no complaints here. I'm loving these dwarves. Unique, with beautiful costume designs. Bring on the last three!
There are three more??? Gahhhhh.
You sure do whine a lot. You're acting like they've let loose a slew of trailers and TV spots, when they've really only released four simple studio-shot pictures of the dwarves. I'm not intending to be mean, but you're overreacting over a handful of measly photographs. Perhaps try to not take movie news so seriously, they're only movies.
And I'm loving the looks of the dwarves, so far. Bombur looks like he walked out of the book.
Hey, I've been totally enjoying the rollout of the dwarves. I don't get this writer's angst. Must not have anything interesting to say. It's simple man: you don't like it, then it obviously wasn't meant for you. The thing is, there's a HUGE demographic for this.
