Likewise... [In reply to] Can't Post

...you consistently puzzle me with your inability to grasp why someone might want a film based upon a book they like to mirror said book.

And I am certainly not calling for a completely literal page-by-page adaptation, but IMO (see!) Jackson's gone a bit too far with The Hobbit.

As for the "junk" comment, it referred to the fact that The Hobbit book is an extremely popular and well-regarded book on its own merits, and that claims of "The films never would have worked if PJ followed the book more closely" are absolutely baseless.
