I didn't feel jazzed about the Hobbit when it was announced, and once the whole trilogy thing developed I had nothing but two six-guns of vitriol. Then, inexplicably, a couple of days ago I saw a 15 or 30 second promo and blammo, I was a little kid totally excited about this, like verklempt excited. So, now when I see these typically lame character posters, I just feel a little giddy

That one with the axe in his head makes me want to do angry things. Like bury an axe in Peter Jackson's stupid head.

Mmmmm. Richard Armitage can Oaken my Shield till I'm too Thorin to walk.

Please ignore this post.

Starting right now I'm going to be asking my husband if this one is that one and that one is this one and "is he the one who" and "I thought he was the other one" and maybe by time the movie comes out he'll be so aggravated he'll go by himself.

Kili makes my pants happy.

Kili and Thorin are nice, but Bofur is the only one I'd like to...ummm...date. He has eye crinkles and I'm a sucker for smiling eye crinkles.

Wow! I thought Kili was supposed to be a young Aragorn.

FAT KILMER!

Reminds me of Oin's poster. Too obscure?

I'm endlessly tickled by the ridiculous "Cartoon Dwarf, Cartoon Dwarf, Cartoon Dwarf, HOT DWARF, Cartoon Dwarf..." progression. And now on top of that I'm intrigued by Galadriel's fae tampon.

Thorin, Kili, Fili and Bofur apparently didn't get the memo about dwarfs not just being "guys with beards".

Kili, the ridiculously hot dwarf. Seriously, Aidan Turner keeps looking like a cover model who got lost on the way to the photo shoot for a romance novel cover, and ended up being thrown in with the wierdly coiffed and bearded dwarves instead.

Kili makes my girly parts tingle

Again - How did they make Richard Armitage unattractive? How do you make boring, visually unengaging posters of the visually prettiest movie of the entire year? Or are these all just for the stickers one can find in hanuta and kinderChocolate after all?

Couldn't leave the ads at the side of the page? Oh well... one less site to read.

They pay the bills and keep the site free. Don't complain.

I love Thorin, but that is not a good poster.

they seem grainy, why are they grainy. also val kilmer is a terrifying fat clown that eats smiles now.

wow
they all suck

Eyebrow braids?
Eyebrow braids?
EYE. BROW. BRAIDS?!

And they accuse the Elves of being the metrosexuals..

Mitchell, your Kili drag suits you

The Tolkien-verse is the one realm of nerdery that just completely eludes me. Never had an interest, haven't gotten around to watching LOTR, heretical, yes, I know.

So take this with a big huge boulder of salt, but all the recent "Hobbit" imagery has just struck me as... annoying? The trailer was fine, but these one-sheets just look so cartoony and Disney-fied - I'm imagining them all (except for Smolder Guy and Smolder Guy #2) sliding down a bannister to a slide whistle.

Genuinely curious: are people disagreeing with my ignorance of "The Hobbit", or do you actually think these are good posters? Because one of those makes sense but the other is cuckoo crazy.

to be fair, character posters usually look both lame and overly photoshopped

Well, Fili gets my vote for sexiest.

that's Alan Tudyk playing Ori, right? and John C. Reilly as Dori?

I can't be the only one who thought Galadriel was flipping everyone off.

No, you're not.

I'd like a Thorin with a side of Kili, please. and yes, I WOULD like to Supersize that.

Wait, these aren't posters for the Spinal Tap sequel?

I still can't get over how perfect Martin Freeman is for this role and how I never noticed it before his casting was announced. Dude was born to be a hobbit.

Some of those dwarves are entirely too good looking to be dwarves. I assume that they're dwarf women since they are known to have beards.

Well, the Galadriel one is the least necessary since she's not in the movie.

She is in the movie, but not in the book

I'll see your Galadriel and raise you a Radagast.

Actually, she is. In the trailer, she apparently has a scene where she asks Gandalf why he chose Bilbo.

That's some major league smoldering Thorin and Kili are doing.

Nori is my pick for best. Mostly because as I get older (and I continue in my transformation into a Yeti), I too am rocking a glorious set of eyebrows. Am totes going to braid them into my hair like that. Practical *and* stylish.

That cracked. me. UP!

Mm, Kili ..

Agreed. DAYUM.
Plus the guy's Irish.

I note an preponderance of facial hair in this post. The Internet will no doubt wish to speculate on the significance of that.

November was originally begun by Tolkein - little known fact.

Damn you autocorrect!!!!!!!! Movember!

I was immediately thrown that the rhyming names aren't paired together. I want to fix it.

MADMARTIGAN! Actually, if Madmartigan made a guest appearance in The Hobbit that might be one of the greatest crossovers imaginable.
