I like all your Tolkien stuff on the wall there.

Oh, thanks.

It's just part of the collection.

I don't know if you know this, Peter.

You did make the films, but you're not Tolkien.

Right.

You know what I mean?

I feel like he thinks he's Tolkien.

I can see why he's behind the camera.

Peter Jackson?

Yeah.

He is...

my precious this is what he taught when he's serious my precious I am talking holy shit this is still meta his obsession with Lord of the Rings move on mirrors the obsession of Golem with the ring he can't move on move on you had your time with the franchise pass it on although whoever got it at Amazon also bungled it so I don't know

To be fair, he did try and pass it on to Guillermo del Toro, and it didn't work out.

They look similar, isn't that funny?

Yeah, they do, actually.

They are coded in the same font.

For sure.

What did Guillermo do with it?

It ended up getting delayed, and then he had contractual obligations for some other movie that he had already done, and it just ended up... They didn't have a falling out or anything, it just... The timing didn't work out.
