THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG (2013) dir. Peter Jackson
In loving memory of Sir Ian Holm
It is with deep sadness that we said goodbye to our beloved Ian Holm today. He was a tremendous actor, a titan of theatre and a beloved figure in television and film, playing many iconic roles. He brought Bilbo Baggins to life in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy with warmth, sincerity and a mischievous gleam in his eyes. Ian Holm was beloved by his fans around the world and an inspiration to his colleagues.
Good bye, dear Bilbo!

“Save me from the stubbornness of Dwarves.”
thorinds: “Save me from the stubbornness of Dwarves.”
“I’m not doing it for you. I know that Dwarves can be obstinate and pigheaded and difficult, suspicious and secretive, with the worst manners you can possibly imagine, but they also brave and kind… And loyal to a fault. I’ve grown very fond of them, and I would save them if I can.”
“If I say Bilbo Baggins is a burglar, then a burglar he is. Hobbits are remarkably light on their feet. In fact, they can pass unseen by most, if they choose. And, while the dragon is accustomed to the smell of Dwarf, the scent of a Hobbit is all but unknown to him, which gives us a distinct advantage. You asked me to find the 14th member of this company and I have chosen Mr. Baggins. There’s a lot more to him than appearances suggest. And he’s got a great deal more to offer than any of you know. Including himself. You must trust me on this.”
“Very well. We will do it your way. Give him the contract.”
“Ah, the borders of the Shire. It is here I must leave you.”
Well, if it loses, Precious, we will eats it!
“I’m not doing it for you. I know that dwarves can be obstinate and pigheaded and difficult. And suspicious and secretive, with the worst manners you can possibly imagine; but they are also brave and kind…and loyal to a fault. I’ve grown very fond of them, and I would save them if I can.”

“Right. We have our key, which means that somewhere, there is a keyhole.”
#done with this shit
“I’m going on an adventure!”
“I hadn’t read the script and we went out to dinner, and Martin went, ‘You’ve got a lot to do.’ And I was like, ‘Have I?’ And I saw it in his face and I was like, God, I’d better go read this.”
