You may find yourself impatiently waiting for your plane to take off, but who would have thought you would be counting down the moments to the safety video for an airline?
Air New Zealand, “The airline of Middle-earth,” has started a countdown to their already famous Hobbit-inspired safety instructional video. Just remember, you Tooks and Brandybucks, there is still no smoking aboard the aircraft!
And don’t forget, if you’re looking for a countdown to The Hobbit‘s US release date of December 14, 2010, you need look no further than the sidebar on the Middle-earth News homepage!

Lily’s first experience with Tolkien was when the eccentric Mrs. H performed all of the characters from The Hobbit in her seventh grade class. In high school, she felt obliged to decline a second date with a boy who said he had no interest in reading The Lord of the Rings. In college, she unwisely decided to reread her beloved copy of The Hobbit during finals week, with only semi-disastrous results.
When not writing for Middle-earth News, Lily tries not to unnerve her coworkers and family with her extreme geekery, but somehow, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, superheroes, Disney movies, and of course, Tolkien, seem to have relevance in EVERY conversation.
