The Hobbit: An Unexpectedly Complicated, Expensive Journey

Topless Robot: Peter Jackson released a new Hobbit video blog, this time with the dull-sounding subject of "logistics." However, if you've ever wondered how movies get made -- especially movies as massive as the two Hobbit films -- and especially especially movies that have to get literally hundreds of people and thousands of tons of equipment to a variety of remote, not easily accessible locations throughout New Zealand -- then this video will be fascinating to you, as it was to me (it helps that Peter Jackson and the rest of the crew are enthusiastic narrators, and the editing on all this video blogs is brilliant. Seriously, it's the most fun 12-minute video on logistics you'll ever see).
