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!

1. Oh crap, scrotum beard is still alive and he’s waiting for us down river!
2. We should tell Gandalf that the next time he travels across Middle Earth, he should avoid being fools like us and fly.

Guys, they said if we ended up doing the barrel scene that we would each get a case of Jim Beam “Devil’s Cut” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey?! Well after 40 takes, and counting…I don’t think we’ll need it!

Far over the Misty Mountains cold
Riding barrels down a watery road
We met the guy from Dracula Untold
Bathed a big red dragon in hot liquid gold
Reclaimed the place where we once stayed
Why in this movie no one gets laid
Except for maybe Kili playing sick
He just might score with that red-head chick
Of all the Ardan dames to swoon
It won’t get better than Elvish poon
Far over the Misty Mountains cold…

1) No one told me we were going to be in water today. This is suede! I can’t get it wet!
2) Ahh!! This is saltwater! I’m a freshwater dwarf!
3) These pretzels are making me thirsty. Ooh, water!
4) When I asked for a window seat, I was hoping for a window to sit behind.
5) Why are we stuck? What do you mean the ride is broken?
6) We were seated in our barrels 20 minutes ago and we’re still not moving?
7) Just another day in the rat race.
8) My commute to work is ridiculous. Stop tailgating me!
9) Soggy dwarves are like wet cats. Nobody likes how mean they get.
10) We need to find a new way to take a bath.
