The Hobbit trailer and official song

The new Hobbit movie from Peter Jackson looks pretty good.

People familiar with the books know that the tone of The Hobbit is quite different to The Lord of The Rings books, and in a way, it's too bad Jackson ended up making them in reverse order.

Speaking of tone, or lack thereof, a little known fact is that there is a groovy, .and in this instance, by groovy, I mean awful  "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" sung by Leonard Nimoy that you can see and hear below. Most illogical.

The Heated Hobbit Labour Dispute

The labour crisis has just been settled, but actors' unions almost were responsible for New Zealand losing the two Hobbit films which have a combined production cost of $500 million.

Toronto's United Church of Hate to hold Sea Hitler fundraiser

This Saturday at 7 pm, Bloor Street United Church will be holding a fundraiser for the Sea Hitler, the boat a group of Canadian Islamists and pro-Marxist groups want to sent to support Hamas-ruled Gaza.

The Bloor Street United Church at 300 Bloor Street West in Toronto has faced allegations of being a home for anti-Semitism masked as "social justice" in the past.

It is only a couple of blocks away from the St. Paul Trinity Centre which houses groups like James Clark's anti-Israel Canadian Peace Alliance and the International Socialists and recently played host to the shill for Iran's dictatorship, George Galloway. Their two steeples along a close stretch of Toronto's Annex district are like anti-Israel versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's twin towers of Mordor and Isengard.

In 2008,  Bloor Street United hosted an event promoted by the discredited Canadian Arab Federation that according to The Jewish Tribune, displayed "viciously antisemitic reading material."

Now they are hosting another fanatical anti-Israel event to raise funds to help destroy Israel's ability to prevent Iranian arms smuggling to Hamas, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the government of Canada.

This event is sponsored by the anti-Semitic Canadian Arab Federation along with Bloor Street United's "Social Justice" Committee. A quick perusal of this committee's information suggests a concept of social justice that lines up better with the followers of Karl Marx than those of Jesus Christ.
