In Bilbo's defense, I, too, would have been quite upset if a person I just met invited 13 strangers to my house without telling me, and they all started rearranging my house while eating literally every speck of food I have in my kitchen, then came up with a song on the fly poking fun at me and how strict I'm being.
have y’all seen the behind the scenes of the filming of Thorin’s death because omg why didn’t they use THAT take where Thorin gives an even bigger and wider smile in his last moments as he looks up at the love of his life, and then Bilbo is like “the Eagles are here, Thorin, hmmm? hmm?” trying to get a reaction from Thorin and forcing a smile of total denial … and then he just breaks mid-sentence, his face crumpling into a silent scream as if his soul is being ripped from his body…not that they weren’t great in the take used in the finished scene, but THAT take was even more gut-wrenching work from Richard Armitage and the greatest piece of acting I’ve ever seen from Martin Freeman.
Obsessed with the fact that Sir Ian McKellen showed both Sean Astin and Martin Freeman explicit fanfiction and fanart respectively of their characters while filming lord of the rings and the hobbit. Absolute king shit. Love that he just did that.
Martin Freeman and Stephen Colbert talk about The Hobbit Lego figures
I know, it's an oldie (04.12.2012). To me, Martin's humour always feels fresh, tho.
