Baby Bilbo?



Sir Ian says during the film's development has been forthcoming with Jackson and his co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. For one, he felt that the relationship between Gandalf and Bilbo needed a little history.
He suggested a scene showing the wizard being introduced to a baby Bilbo and his mother Belladonna Took and it was shot. He's not sure if the scene will make the final cut of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, but his suggestion was taken seriously.
''We see Gandalf observing this little boy who's full of beans and full of adventure. And I let him play with [a] toy dragon that I've got.
''And when he's thinking, 'Who should we get? Oh, there's that little boy'. And he goes back to Hobbiton to meet this little boy who's now grown up and is a real stodgy, dull, settled, unadventurous person. And he's so disappointed. 'What happened to you? Come on! You've got to go on an adventure, it'll be good for you. Get back your childish enthusiasm!'''

A Dinner Fit for Bag End!



Last night I went to Dennys with my boys and my parents.  The Hobbit menu was fantastic!  I had the "Shire Sausage Skillet" and we ordered the "Radagast's Red Velvet Pancake Puppies....amazing!

I highly recommend a trip for all Ringers.  They give you some exclusive trading cards with each Hobbit entree.  Nothing fancy or new, but the kids loved them.
