Apologies for the "concussive" nature of my statement,

and thank you for your gentle response. I learned a new word today. :o) Anyway, I need to remember that I’m discussing someone’s livelihood here. Bad GalTX!
It was interesting to learn of the technique you use to gauge the length of a film. It’s been probably three decades since I saw the animated Hobbit, but what you write about its lack of texture and drama rings true. I thought I remembered they had omitted Beorn, and he’s such a wonderful, fantastic character. I’m even more comfortable with the two-movie concept than I was before.
Well, I will hope that my use of the words “grotesque and fatalistic” are indeed overstatement. I do think, though, that after a certain age (say, twenty) people’s world view tends to crystallize and inform what they do and create. I do see certain fundamental elements in PJ’s work (some good, some less good), and I think it’s normal for viewers/readers/listeners to find common elements and a viewpoint in an artist’s work. We build abstractions about the concept we have of an artist in our own minds, to get a handle on them. (All we have are words to convey the abstraction, and I didn’t want to go into an in-depth analysis of your work so I chose a couple of adjectives.) I do have certain expectations, but I’ll go see the film and try to keep an open mind. Now you’ve made me curious.
But you can’t get me to watch A Christmas Story again. ;o)
