bilbo and the batman

bilbo was his name-o

new line and mgm have announced that peter jackson will be directing two hobbit films. this comes as a surprise due to the bad relationship between jackson and new line. looks like they came to their senses. shooting starts in 2009, and both films will be shot simultaneously.

why so serious?:
2008 is gonna be great! the dark knight looks like it's going to finally get the joker right. i enjoyed nicholson in burton's batman, but 2005's batman begins showed that the restart of the franchise is bringing a realism that the burton films lacked. i am glad to see a joker that looks deranged and completely out of his skull. i wait in anticipation with bated breath.
