happy Tolkien links

Ian McKellan is snarky, as always ships Frodo/Sam

xkcd is awesome, references the best scene in the world, kind of actually portrays my adolescence oh god.

OMG, I have to read that McKellen link, but can I just say thank Aslan that he signed to the movie.

I saw that XKCD. Not only is that scene one of my favorites, but that supernova--or more accurately, reading the National Geographic article about it when I was about five--was no joke a huge influence on me through high school.

I was never worried about him - I remember him banging on about wanting to do The Hobbit back in, like, 2003/04! I heart how much he hearts Gandalf the Grey.

If nothing else, this movie will give me more Gandalf + hobbits. Which, of course, equals awesome.
