: : Ain't It Cool News has some very good pix of the Hobbiton set
: : for the film. Use link below. The pictures look very nice
: : indeed. Some think the Hobbit Holes are a bit too quaint,
: : but I like them.: The holes themselves look excellent. They are cosy, homely,
: hobbitish in fact, but the landscape... This looks rather rough
: to me (like foothills of mountains), wheras the Shire had
: gentle rolling hills. Tolkien himself once likened the Shire to
: the Warwickshire countryside. This doesn't look much like
