Hobbit money is long. That's the lesson we're learning in 2010, folks. Sure, there have been other lessons, (right, BP?) But based on his two music video appearances this year, Elijah Wood (star of the immensely successful "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy, in which he played lead hobbit, Frodo) has no pressing need to return to well-paying gigs.
After appearing in Danko Jones' thriller video for their song "Full Of Regret," Elijah Wood has popped up again in this new video for "Dance Floor," by the indie rock veterans Apples In Stereo.
In this kitschy clip, directed by Greg Kilpatrick, Wood plays a science teacher who futzes around with a time machine (built by Apples In Stereo frontman Robert Schneider). Next thing he knows, he's transported into an alternate reality where Apples are playing this funky, disco-flavored track and Wood is an award-winning teacher with a cute indie girlfriend.
Was it all a dream? Watch the video and judge for yourself.

Danko Jones are veteran hard rockers from Canada. They've obviously accrued some good karma over the years, and it all seems to have paid off in this one video for their jam "Full Of Regret."
I mean, how else do you get Selma Blair, Elijah Wood and Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead to star in your music video? And how else do you make said music video look like it cost millions of dollars?
Their "Full Of Regret" video, directed by the Diamond Bros., is like an action-packed noir film. Everybody's in some pretty ace classic automobiles, Selma Blair puts on a wig, Lemmy seems unsatisfied with a couple of different people, Elijah Wood takes his time to put on a hitman suit and members of Danko Jones are interrogated by a cop rocking an eye patch.
It's one-part "Sabotage," one-part Guy Ritchie, one-part Quentin Tarantino -- and it's pretty much a blast from start to finish.
"Full Of Regret" is on Danko Jones' Below The Belt album, out now.
