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.
