Good as the huge battles in Two Towers and Return of the King are, they don't stand up to repeat watching as well as Fellowship. Also, Return of the King missed off the whole return to Hobbiton problem. I shall never forgive that omission. Still brilliant films, though.

Aye. And small print.

It's what makes it so immersive at times, though.

Indeed.

I am more referring to books such as 'The Silmarillion' by Tolkien when i say 'over description.' I couldnt read that book all the way through because of its incredible depth. It was just too much.

Gawd, the Silmarillion was freaking awesome. 'Too much' would be the chapters on Tom Bombadil. Reading the sil required much flipping over to the appendix to check who exactly was talking, but it was worth it. What an amazing book.
Nothing to see here, move along.

I remember checking out of the library and the librarian telling me it was college level.

I told her I read Moby Dick when I was in fifth grade.

I quit it was so boring, but it shocked her.

The Associated Press have just announced New Line and Peter Jackson have reached an agreement (at last) and he will act as executive producer with the director yet to be named.

After their “disagreement” was settled last Tuesday, New Line have had to move fast before the rights to The Hobbit movie returned to the previous owner, Saul Zaentz. Zaentz had already stated Jackson would be directing if this happened.

“I’m very pleased that we’ve been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line,” Jackson’s statement read. “We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth.”

Two Hobbit movies will be filmed at the same time, similar to how the 3 “Lord of the Rings” films were shot. Production will start in 2009 with a release planned for 2010, with the second part the following year.

Lets not kid ourselves though, Jackson has been given a role to appease the “Rings” fans, the special effects team and of course, the original cast of whom many may well be needed for at least one of the Hobbit movies.

I like the Ents.
I'd rather be a Ithryn (Wizard).
They're cool.
