Darling.
I love that part at the end when they have started filming, and you see a shot of the One Ring on the monitor, and a hand (Bilbo's?) appears in frame and picks it up. Blew me away.
And then that narration at the end. So good.

Another addition to the EXCITED list. But jeez, Peter Jackson's lost weight. I didn't even recognize him from the LOTR behind the scenes.

He has, sadly, become somewhat less Hobbity.

Well he's been separated from the One Ring for many years now...
Or maybe he had it the whole time and that's how he lost so much weight. The ring makes you waste away.

Brony? Moi? surely you jest!
The Ring could be useful for people who need to diet. Are there any side effects?

Yeah. I have got to find out that guy's diet plan!

Raw fish and orc meat? Not really very ideal. The Ring is what allowed him to live so long, not his diet.

As this comes from a fairly stock Medieval Fantasy setting, most Dwarves, Hobbits, and Men probably weren't fond of regular bathing, and even less so when on a trek to Erebor, so it's not unlikely that Bilbo was a bit ripe himself. But yeah, Gollum would have been a "Stinker" in more ways than just his personality.

A fairly Stock Medieval Fantasy... ok then
Ah but it's Lord Of The Rings, it predates stock medieval setting and in fact the Norse inspirations were indeed very well washed and took good care of their hair. Such behaviour is reflected in the work. The Dwarves and Gandalf take great care with washing their beard. They're not quite breaking out the L'Oreal but have them, throw in a 1920's Middle-Class Englishman and you're probably left off with more of a scent of Old Spice rather than anything else.
I think there is a bath scene in the books at some point.

Martin Freeman said at the Baftas that Benedict Cumberbatch will have a role in the hobbit(I'm presuming the voice of Smaug but we don't know) and that Stephen Fry will play the master of Laketown

Smaug should be Sean Connery. As for Legolas, Wiki sez:
Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood, who appears as "the Elvenking" in The Hobbit.

This is still a signature.

Legolas appearing in the film is a definate case of It Makes Sense in Context.
Considering the Quest for Erebor passes through his fathers realm and the Silvan Elves of that realm do take part in the Battle of Five Armies, I'd be more puzzled if Legolas didn't have a cameo or some part in proceedings.
Plus, imagine if Tolkien had written The Hobbit after the Lord of the Rings and therefore could tie it immediately into the universe of Middle-earth. I'm pretty sure he might have appeared then.
So frankly, i'm okay with this, it feels like the canon is being respected and expanded on in a way that seems logical.
