I wonder who will play the elves in The Hobbit Movie. I really hope it's not a ''handsome'' actor, because it just brings the spirit of Tolkien down. People will only go to the movie because people will say: '' Have you already seen that Elf in The Hobbit? He is SO hot, you got to watch it!''
Tolkien can't be forgotten...


Should we not have beautiful music or beautiful scenery or beautiful cinema so that people won't watch the movie for its aesthetic qualities?

No. Of course not.

We should be able to appreciate beauty in all it's shapes, including hot males.


Ah, you fail to appreciate the Hollywood ethos.
Hot young actress falls in love with Bill Murray or Woody Allen = serious art movie
Hot young actress falls in love with Orlando Bloom = frivolous teen flick

You see, we women can't be trusted watching handsome young male actors, we start getting all silly.
Men are not like this. They don't need, for example, Bette Midler playing Arwen to keep their minds on Higher Things.

edit.... I keep forgetting there is no "irony font" ...
