How do you expect it will be exploited?

I know The Hobbit is hated by some, but the amount of tiny details Peter Jackson hid in those moveis is honestly insane

New glitch in hobbit 2003?

5 Upvotes

I was messing around in the 2nd chapter (if you count the dream), when I thought "what if I save the game the moment I die?" I got onto the barn's 3rd floor, and jumped off. After a few savestates, I was able to save the game with 0 health. If you load that save, the camera will be on top of bilbo, you won't be able to interact with npcs, andthe game will fade to black after a period of time, but you can still control him.

P.S. Playing on a ps2 emulator, question mark in the title since this game is relatively obscure, so I couldn't find anything online.

I made a moonstone necklace that wouldn't look out of place in Rivendell :).

What is Radagast’s hat meant to Be?

10 Upvotes

film version only, obviously. Gandalfs hat draws from the text but also from a lot of cultural lore I don’t know enough to write about, but it’s old. Pointy hat means wizard for a thousand years.

What in gods name is radagast’s hat design drawing from, culturally? What are the flaps meant to achieve? Is there any thought that went into it?

To be clear, i don’t hate his hat. i Fuck with it actually, but i am curious what the hell they were thinking

I had a teacher give me this some few years ago, I was surprised by how good condition it was in. I know that it was a limited edition poster that I believe you could only get at the premiere, with the title being in elvish.

I’m rewatching the movies and I’ve always been confused about why he felt like those diamonds or whatever belonged to him? It’s been almost 15 years since I’ve read the books so I don’t remember if this was in the source material or not.

Does the 1977 Hobbit move hold up in 2026?

98 Upvotes

Hello! I’m planning a Hobbit party for my son for his 10th birthday. He loves the book and loves the first 2 movies. I was thinking of doing a movie night party (show the first movie) but realized a few things… 1) the Jackson movie is LONG and 2) the movies might be too violent for some.

My question is do you think a bunch of modern day 10-yr-olds think the 1977 movie is cool? Enjoyable? Or would they think it’s super lame and cheesy?

Edit: Thanks for the amazing feedback! Sounds like the 1977 movie will be fun!

Better late than never, I'm reading The Hobbit and I love it.

Much I'm sure to the annoyance of my 10th grade English teacher who assigned me to read The Hobbit 20 some years ago, I started reading it the other day. So far it very much lives up to the hype. I also see why people were so disappointed by the movies.
