But we already know how the story ends. The bad dude gets out of line and gets wasted by some midgets.

Yes but now we get some back story on Gollum and how Bilbo came to get the ring in the first place.

Is this post sarcastic? I kind of hope so.

I think he did such a good job with the LOTR movies that to have anyone else do The Hobbit would always beg the question "what would Jackson have done?"

expedition IMO.Darth Cheney

If they are doing two films.... I think they split it right when Bilbo meets Gollum.

Why? It's cool kids stuff if I ever heard it. I read The Witch the Lion and the Wardrobe when I was 6 years old. Or is that witch, fantasy and sorcery ok because Jesus saves everyone at the end?

Really? So the LOTR and the Hobbit are not about witchcraft, fantasy and sorcery? Wizards, Trolls, magic rings, flesh eating hobbits? Dwarves and Elves?

No more so than CS Lewises "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe".I hope the Hobbit is more exciting than the LOTR movies. What a snoozefest.Really? So the LOTR and the Hobbit are not about witchcraft, fantasy and sorcery? Wizards, Trolls, magic rings, flesh eating hobbits? Dwarves and Elves?

Not the content of the books and movies, the tone of your post. "Cool... bring the kids". Sarcasm, right?Really? So the LOTR and the Hobbit are not about witchcraft, fantasy and sorcery? Wizards, Trolls, magic rings, flesh eating hobbits? Dwarves and Elves?

Tolkein was a devout roman catholic, and the books are as much about the power of good triumphing over evil as they are about "flesh eating hobbits"Really?

Well duh.Seriously. I watched the Two Towers Extended Edition over the weekend with my kids and I thought i was going to fall asleep (until the Battle of Helm's Deep, that is.)

Not really. Who is going to see Harry Potter? The Chronicles of Narnia? LOTR? The Golden Compass? They even have a Harry Potter amusement park being built. I think that it is safe to say that it is catering to kids?Not the content of the books and movies, the tone of your post. "Cool... bring the kids". Sarcasm, right?Really?

Yeah, they are kids books. I'd like to think my kid will be interested in these books when he can read, as I've read an enjoyed them all during my life (save Harry Potter).Not really.

Well if you want to look at it from this perspective:1.) Roman Catholics practice pagan traditions2.) The gospels talk in depth about good vs. evil- anything wrong with the Truth over fantasy?Tolkein was a devout roman catholic, and the books are as much about the power of good triumphing over evil as they are about "flesh eating hobbits"Really?

The movies definitely stretched, but Jackson was trying to capture the tone of the books.

Certainly that is two different questions and no I was not being sarcastic.lolOne last time - do you think it's cool that they're catering to kids, or were you being sarcastic when you used the word?Not really.

Gollum ate fish. Actually, I don't think any of the hobbits were vegetarian. So there were flesh-eating hobbits.

What one interesting thing happens the entire time they're in Rohan with Théoden?

The books are boring too?(Boring isn't quite the right word. Self-important might be better.)

It's right after that part when Frodo is saying a prayer to his lord and master satan and renouncing the bible.

The expelling of Grima Wormtongue was pretty compelling.

I'm weird? For what reason? Because I have ID'd this as being about fantasy and witchcraft?

Really? Because it didn't sound like you were a big fan of the movies in your initial post. Maybe I just misread it.Certainly that is two different questions and no I was not being sarcastic.lolOne last time - do you think it's cool that they're catering to kids, or were you being sarcastic when you used the word?Not really.

isn't this old news?
also, it doesn't look like Jackson is going to direct these.
