We broke down Spider-Man Brand New Day, just so we could spread the word in case people hadn’t heard about it yet. We like to support small, independent films like this. Reilly Zamber gave some awesome takes, we love having him on for these Marvel films. #SpiderMan #BrandNewDay #NewEpisode

Did you know there is an Annotated version of The Hobbit? The revised edition, edited by Douglas A. Anderson, was published on 16 August 2002, and delves into #Tolkien's influences, provides background info, and even a number of unpublished poems. A must-have! #Booksky

One of my favorite Tolkien letters was from him to John Kettle (15 March 1942), a school student evacuated during the war. Tolkien described The Lord of the Rings ("The Hobbit sequel") when it was in progress, and he gave John hints of what's to come. 1/6 #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

A scanned image of three-page letter written by Tolkien. On top of it is a torn, old envelope with Queen Elizabeth stamp. The envelope had Tolkien's handwriting: Mr. John Kettle, The Junior House Felted School at Canon-Frome Court in Ledbury, Herefordshire.

Some more fun moments from #TheLongestJohns concerts. Were you at any of these? #TLJGig

Longest Johns singer Andy is about to pull up his jeans to show off his "beautiful hairy leg". JD is kneeling to hold the leg up in the air and smiling at the audience.

Andy of the Longest Johns is playing his banjo with his foot up on a wheel of cheese, with the Longest Pony artwork on it. His long hair is across his face, and he generally looks like a rock star.

Robbie and JD of the Longest Johns are standing close together, about to start waltzing to the Tennessee Waltz.

Robbie of the Longest Johns is kneeling on stage, emoting about the crew that keep mutinying.
