Fellowship 9/11: Sauron & Saruman Are NOT In Cahoots



As most of you know, I'm a complete Tolkien nerd. I've watched more hours of The Lord of the Rings (the extended version, duh!) and read more Tolkien arcana than one person probably should. Anyway, John Hawkins has this parody up of Michael Moore (and really all moonbat war conspiracy theorists). Please watch the whole thing. It gets funnier as you go. 12 minutes.

Oh, my favorite bit is where the Orc families frolic around Mordor. Hilarious!

As an aside, I heard troubling news that Peter Jackson won't be doing The Hobbit after all. Ugh! What is wrong with the studio? What is wrong with New Line? I thought this business was about money, but it all sure sounds very personal. Yeesh!
