Hobbits of the Four Farthings are known for many things. Their love of peace and quiet, good tilled earth ... and (apparently) brawling in the boxing ring!

It seems the age of prequels is upon us all. George Lucas (perhaps infamously) started it just over a decade ago, and now it seems to be in full swing. We have a prequel to The Thing just a couple of weeks away, an adaptation of The Hobbit (a prequel to The Lord of the Rings) filming and a prequel to The Wizard of Oz on the way. And who knows how many more are in development that we don't know about yet?

Earlier this year, J.R.R. Tolkien was at the center of a hot debate—and it had nothing to do with The Hobbit. Have you ever heard of Mirkwood? It's a novel that features the late author as one of its primary characters, and after months of legal wrangling, it's being made into a movie.

As we know, what's funny to geeky people can be a turn-off for non-geeks. One reason we know? We can see it in the reactions of the non-geeks in the wedding video below.
