- I'm jealous some people in New York already get to see this movie. The Hobbit is one of my favorite books, and it's going to be awesome watching it on the big screen. In anticipation I've been ordering all The Lord of the Rings movies using my Blockbuster@Home account that I have through DISH. It's really convenient for me to get the movies in the mail, and then drop them off at the Blockbuster store next to my house. That way a new movie is instantly sent to me from my queue. I'll be watching The Return of the King with one of my DISH coworkers tonight, and then I will be ready for The Hobbit!
