Novelty 3D glasses that are even stupider than normal 3D glasses are nothing new, but these—for The Hobbit, The Hobbit II: Here’s Some More of That Hobbit!, and The Hobbit III: A Major Motion Picture Based on a Post-it Note We Found in One of Tolkien’s Old Tweed Jackets, It Might Be a Grocery List, Give Us Your Money—take the cake lembas bread. Boasting a “hammer-forged steel look,” they continue Warner Bros.’ surprisingly successful efforts to turn me against The Hobbit—a movie based on one of my favorite childhood books, a movie that follows up three of my favorite movies, a movie I should be really excited about—before it even comes out.

Clunky, blocky, faux-stone 3D glasses hewn from cheap plastic that you’ll have to wear on your face for three straight hours: They’re the only way to feel as if you’re really in Middle-earth! And also the only way to look like you’re a bad guy from a PlayStation 1 game.

“Is that a pair of 3D glasses in its pocketses, or is it just glad to see us, my preciousss?”
I heard that the second and third Hobbit movies will utilize a different type of 3D technology, so these glasses will only work for the first movie.
Buyer beware!
Boo-urns
But I’ll bet you really, really want a pair, don’t you.
We’ve been waiting for Erik to get a pair for a while now.
every time i hear about LoTR or the Hobbit, i get an urge to poop, even if i have no poop to give.
it’s like a defense-mechanism, or something.
so, yeah, i need to see a doctor, but tolkien needs to be punished for foisting these boring-ass stories on me.
(yes, i know he’s dead, but punishment is still warranted…..perhaps more now than ever.)
Word on the street is that Kanye loves them, and will soon start selling them.
