Well, ladies and gents, after spending $210 dollars on Lord of the Rings DVDs, I decided to up my fanboyness by waking up at 6am and taking part of a live online Hobbit film Q&A with Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro.

Anyhow for those readers who care, the transcript with some pictures can be found here.
