What Hollywood's done to the Hobbit is pretty shitty and gratuitous, though.

Amen. Lord of the Rings trilogy, read aloud: 54 hours.

Hobbit, read aloud: 11 hours.

Lord of the Rings trilogy, directors cuts: 228min + 235min + 263min = 12 hours.

Hobbit, directors cuts: 182min + ~ 180min +~ 180min = 9 hours.

LOTR, read aloud/LOTR, filmed = 5:1

Hobbit, read loud/Hobbit, filmed = 1.2:1

There's a reason The Hobbit seems 4 times as slow and drawn out as LOTR. It is.

Yikes. Well, I guess they need more time to manufacture Hobbit themed Lego sets . . .

I will say that the current movies look really great on the screen, but when I (tried) to watch the first part of The Hobbit I kind of just wanted to see that old cartoon version. Or Wizards.

The old cartoon is tits. Absolute, fabulous tits.

Oh man, I didn't think that any adults on the planet except me used tits (or titties) in that way in everyday conversation. I think it's such a perfect word for some situations.

It is perfect in certain situations. My old job where I worked from home full time and had very little responsibilty was tits. And of course with the right audience.
