05.01.09 THE ULTIMATE FAN-MADE HOBBIT MOVIE
A group of incredibly proactive dork- er, Lord of the Rings enthusiasts, recently shot a 40-minute, high-definition film in North Wales with an all-volunteer crew of 150.
Called The Hunt for Gollum, the film is the work of 150 volunteers, says director Chris Bouchard. “We’re essentially a bunch of fans and enthusiast filmmakers,” says Bouchard, who has put two years into the project. He made up the plot, which focuses on a search to find the deranged Gollum. The fear is that the wizened creature might reveal the whereabouts of the magic ring to the powers of darkness.
Fred Von Lohman, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says it’s not really clear whether Bouchard and his crew of volunteers are in violation of the copyright for Tolkien’s work. Von Lohman says fans have always written their own stories based on TV shows and movies. That’s legal. But a high-quality movie available over the Internet ['The Hunt for Gollum' is set to premiere on DailyMotion this Sunday] could change the game. [via NPR]
I know how these people feel. I’m always trying to get my not-for-profit tribute movies made. I invite girls over to watch porno and then beg them to help me make a prequel. But usually they say no and I end up wrestling an orc.

Wrestling the orc is now set to become the euphemism of choice for mastrubation.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I read an articles title and just know there’s no way in hell I’m watching the video that accompanies. This is one of those times.

That’s strange. His parent’s description of his work were more along the lines of “I have no son” and “Oh God, where did I go wrong” and “Be back by 10 Fist”.
I’m guessing these kids are pissed they didn’t get the call to join in.
The Hunt for Gollum is now a euphemism for finding a chick before last call.
To be fair, No body has tried to sue Heidi Klum. She’s been married to an Orc for years.
Pfffft. I made an episode of Becker once.
Alright, I made all of the episodes of Becker. Happy now? It was the producer’s fault. He really stifled my creative process.
God, that felt good to get off my chest.
The hunt for Golumn ends here.
Say it with me…
(points to crotch)
Oh wow, the elusive Becker Durst.
The Mighty Feklahr hopes they show the part where Smeagol pisses off Aragorn and he kicks his whiny little Gollum ass!
If this is even half as good as ‘Searching for Bobby Fischer’ it’s going to be fucking awful.
I know where he is. He defected to the USA. He wasn’t trying to start a war. There, I just saved you 40 minutes. You’re welcome.

In Mordor, Precious hunts YOU.
Now nobody’s ever going to pick up my story about how Smeagol gets a gig in a variety show with that Amanda chick from
my underage rape fantasiesNickelodeon:LOL-ing for Gollum-Bynes.
In case any of you want a point of reference:
“Along the skirts of the Dead Marshes I followed it, and then I had him. Lurking by a stagnant mere, peering in the water as the dark eve fell, I caught him, Gollum. He was covered with green slime. He will never love me, I fear; for he bit me, and I was not gentle.”

Also, just for the record, the only part of the quote I could remember for sure verbatim was “I was not gentle”.
Never do an internet search for “Aragorn, gentle”. I turned up at least 50 hits for bisexual fanfic.
I used to think the chick in Becker was so hot, until Mickey Rourke got his claws into her and she stopped eating.
These people are amazingly devoted to this stuff. My buddy was heading out to one of those Dragon-LOTR-LARPer-Comic Con thingys, and he had the best Gollum costume I’d ever seen. It was perfect, right down to the last detail. So, I kicked him in the balls really hard and he wasn’t able to attend. He hasn’t thanked me yet, but he will. He will.

It’s always a good thing when you can find the strength to kick a bad hobbit.
Oh fuck, I think I pulled my funny, is there a doctor in this corner?
I hit it Stinky. It was my only perk.
Donk FTW + N’up.
