If you're well-versed in the world of Tolkien, then you'll know that it's J.R.R. Tolkien Week this week. This Friday marks the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit, which is the book that started it all. There's also a double-birthday celebration in order for Saturday because September 22nd is also the birthday of both Frodo and Bilbo Baggins.
With all these milestones and special dates lined up, you can expect Percy Jackson and his crew to release a slew of special content from The Hobbit--starting off with seven new images from the movie.
There's also a new trailer slated for release on September 19th (which is tomorrow.) Of course, we'll have that for you here when it hits. Until then, enjoy these new images and celebrate with the rest of the world for the marvels that J.R.R. Tolkien's words have brought us!

But it looks like the winds of fantasy are pushing my ship there once again on December 14th when The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first installment in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy hits theaters.
As I await the onslaught of every annoying comedian I know doing Gollum impressions, I pay tribute to those timid adventurers of lilliputian dimensions, the Hobbits, with a round robin-style showdown where we pit fantasy's most badass dwarfs and midgets against one another to see which creatures are truly strong enough to face off against Bilbo and Co. in the final round.
Today's first round sees a face-off between those scruffy and saccharine slaughters from Munchkinland, the Lollipop Guild, against the holy septemvirate, the miners of might...The Seven Dwarfs. Let's see who will live to survive to next week's fight. Read More » »
