It’s been a long time coming, but we finally get to revisit Middle Earth.
The fine folks at Warner Bros. Pictures have finally released the first trailer for Peter Jackson’s upcoming film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. It’s been 10 years since we were allowed into New Zealand Middle Earth and the Shire and without realizing it, I felt a longing to see this film…much stronger than any other movie has made me feel (except Avatar, I loves Avatar, a lot).
The movie will be out NEXT December 14th in the year 2012. Yes a whopping 51 weeks of waiting have commenced. It will be shown in 3D, 2D, and IMAX 3D. The second part of the movie titled The Hobbit: There and Back Again will be released in 2013.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
