Hobbit Thoughts

On The Hobbit:

Overall, I liked it. I'm not really much of a Tolkien fan, but I don't mind that this got lengthened and split into three movies. The Silmarillion, Lost/Unfinished Tales, and Appendices stuff isn't popular or well-known enough to ever get movies of their own, but they are the glue that holds The Hobbit to the greater, grander histories of Middle Earth. I'm grateful Jackson took this opportunity to weave in stories that might otherwise never have seen the light of a projector. ...
