I don't know. In my opinion, I think he's a decent director, but I also think he's a tad overrated.

Hmm. I would much rather have Peter Jackson. But I guess Del Toro is alright.

Awesome, maybe now Ian McKellen will shut the hell up. Dude, you want to play Gandalf again, we know.

I'm actually kinda glad they're going with a different director for The Hobbit, since the book had such a different tone from LotR. It'll be nice to see the same world through another director's eye. I've enjoyed pretty much everything Del Toro has done (even Mimic, which was unfortunately dragged down by lousy casting and studio interference).

Del Toro did a great job with Pan's Labyrinth, so I think he could do a good Hobbit film.

about me

WARNING:The following description makes liberal use of the little ( ) symbols, so deal with it.

Sup dudes, I have an Xbox 360 (request me, I need friends... sadness...). I love old school games(Pac-Man, Galaga, Super Mario World, Streets of Rage, you get the idea.) I also harbor a love for the more modern(Resident Evil 4(die zombie bitches!!!!), HALO(YES I AM A NERD), Beyond Good and Evil(a true masterpiece), Mass Effect, Bioshock, Call of Duty 2 & 4.

I have an Xbox 360, although I suck at achievements.
I have a Gamecube, which pretty much left me in the dark of modern gaming a couple of years back, a Playstation with a large collection of RPG's, which I have come to despise, a Nintendo 64 which I never really played, damn Playstation taking up most of my playtime, and a still(somehow) fully functioning Super Nintendo & boy do I love that thing...

I attend high school in LA, shout out to my peeps!(not really)

I love indie music, makes me feel sort of crass and snotty though...Although I've recently acquired a taste for classic punk music and underground hip-hop(weird I know).

Oh, and I like stamp collecting and taking long strolls down the beach...
