Last week, I asked you guys to send in pictures of your Halloween costumes, and as with last year, you guys sent in tons of them! Unfortunately, I cannot post all of them, but here’s a selection of my favorites for your viewing pleasure! Thanks guys!
I don’t know where you’d go to buy these, but it seems a bunch of new posters of characters from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have been released into the world. Is it just me, or is Thorin, Kili and Fili like…epically hot? (Excusing Fili’s braided moustache…thing…though it may or may not be growing on […]
