I think the hobbit is up in the air now.

That's like the keetle.......

Stuidos calling someone a greedy bastard........lol it's the greedy stuidos trying to get away with not paying their employees when something is successful. Time and time again you see studios trying to jam people or even steal their work. It's like those commericals from the stuidos about piracy.....putting the common man (whether it be a carpenter or seamstress) on there to tell how copying your DVD takes money from THEIR pocket. Of course the part you don't see is the studio execs are driving by this guy in their $500,000 car right after they filmed that. I'll bet those execs would leave that guy in the guter rather than take a hit in their salary to compensate for the "poor" common man.
