I'm always amazed by people that spend the time to bitch about some term they don't understand, which in my estimation takes 10X the time it would to type that term into Google and find out what it means.
PS: Oh no wait, I'm not amazed, because everybody's special now and we should by all means accommodate the lowest common denominator because we wouldn't want to cause any cognitive dissonance that would clue someone into the fact that they are one small, small step above a p-zombie.
PPS: "Oh but jammies, what's a p-zombie? You just used another term I don't know, you pretentious jerk! Why can't you just speak plain English for my ADD-addled mind?"
PPPS: Not that necessarily FlamesAddiction is arguing in favour of ignorance. But he might be, if I cared to take the trouble to find the original post. But hey, I'm lazy too! Ironic, isn't it?
PPPPS: Oh yah, and The Hobbit was thoroughly mediocre. So far each Jackson movie treatment of Tolkien has been a lesser vessel, so by the time this "trilogy" is over, I expect Bilbo to defeat Smaug with water-filled bladders and a slapstick routine.
