Sometimes small things come in big packages. Such was the case when Peter Jackson decided to adapt J.R.R. Tolkien’s slim novel ‘The Hobbit’ into a trilogy of three epic movies. As if that weren’t enough, each of them keeps getting longer. The new Extended Edition of the last installment, ‘The Desolation of Smaug’, hits Blu-ray this week, and we’re giving away a copy.
To win a copy of ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – Extended Edition‘ (2D version) on Blu-ray, all you have to do is participate in our photo caption contest by giving us a funny or clever caption for the following image. Click to enlarge:
For example: “Is it too on-the-nose to say this franchise is going downhill?”
We have one copy of the Blu-ray to give away. The winner will be chosen at our own subjective discretion based on whichever responses we enjoy the most. Entries are limited to 10 per person. That should give you plenty of opportunity to craft a good submission, but will also help us to avoid any potential appearance of awarding prizes based on volume rather than quality. (Please heed this limit. You will be taken out of consideration if you submit more than 10 entries.) All entries must be submitted in the Comments section of this blog post. Please do not attempt to email them to me.
This contest is only open to entrants from the domestic United States. We will not ship internationally (whether you’re a U.S. citizen or not). Employees of High-Def Digest or Internet Brands and their families are not eligible. Standard contest rules and conditions apply. People who have won any of our previous contests within the past one year are also not eligible to win, but may get Honorable Mentions.
The deadline for entry is Friday, November 7th. The winners will be announced the following week. Good luck!

Hold on! Hold on! If I’m the butcher, you’re the baker, and he’s the candlestick maker, just who the hell is the other guy?

I knew we were going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel by making 3 movies for one book but this is ridiculous.
Chris M.
We’re gonna need a bigger barrel.

Seriously Bilbo. When you said you wanted to play “Roll out the Barrels” this is not what I was expecting.

Whether your from Front Earth, Back Earth, or Middle Earth, hazing can still be very dangerous.

As you can see, Smaug has eaten us. But the battle is far from over. We’ll fight him from inside his stomach!

1) “Here at Jack Daniel’s, not only do we make our own barrels, but the dwarves that go in them.”
2) The gimmickry of the original series was quickly surpassed by Top Gear: Middle Earth.

And four, four barrels were given to Dwarves, who above all else, desire longer, extended cut scenes.

The dwarfs knew their fun was over when they saw Gandalf on the river bank shouting, “YOU SHALL NOT SPLASH!!!”

When my agent said Peter Jackson had me over a barrel… I had no idea.

Warn me when he reach the drop, I want to close my eyes.

What’s my line? “Three times it drops…”?

I didn’t know we’d signed up for Indiana Jones 5.

Why couldn’t they CGI the water in this scene?

Thorin: No one will ever know I just pissed myself.
Peter Waters
Jackson’s really scraping the bottom of the barrel adding superfluous sequences like this.
Thorin: “I can barrel-ly stand this!”

Guys I don’t think we thought fully on this Rub-a-dub-tub nursery rhyme! “Duh-oh!!!”

Rub a dub, dwarfs in the tub.
