this piece of news just kicked me right of the chair - in a negative way! like cptn. salt i have always been pretty positive about pj's style and his adapting of tolkien, especially after the latest blog and the picture scroll! damn, pj, you just gave me a total knock-out! i really had to gather myself up and ( i'm just asking myself: how and why? all the time) find it extremely hard to see that a three-movies hobbit is a wise decision that works story-wise etc. right now the only way i feel i could be pleased with a three part extended hobbit, is if they really concentrate on the hobbit, concentrate on their story, on the history and legacy of the dwarves. every other thing would stop it from being "the Hobbit" to me.
