I'm totally excited for The Hobbit, but even the slightest mention of X-Men: First Class throws me into a loop. Frack, that was a good movie!

Throws you into a loop?

If MMF even thinks about X-Men: First Class ever so slightly, his arousal levels reach a level of sexual climax so great that it puts him into a complete disarray that he must stop everything he is doing so he can calm himself down for an hour or else he would spontaneously explode into a millions pieces of complete happiness.

Man crush aside, he really is. I have First Class, Shame and A Dangerous Method all protected on the ol' PVR for random viewings.

I was contemplating seeing it when I thought it was one movie.

I can't take another 6 hours of walking and doing nothing in a trilogy. I just can't.

I was fine with The Hobbit being two movies, and I'll admit I'm a little worried about three.. but nothing happened in LOTR's?

lol

No stuff happend, but a very large portion of the movies was devoted to walking and talking... That combined with the super drawn out ending left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Peter Jackson should have finished the Halo movie first

I guess you haven't read the books? The movies cut out piles of the walking and talking and chopped off most of the ending

I just find it ironic that by far the smallest book in the Rings saga is getting three movies to tell its story.

God damn greedy.

I have faith in Peter Jackson. I hope if he didn't think he could make three quality movies out of it, he wouldn't.

I dunno, we'll see. If the first is good, I'll go to the 2nd, if it isn't I won't.

Ditto.

We may well be sitting here in a few years being incredible thankful that he did it in three movies.

Sure, he'll earn a ton of extra money, but if we're graced with 3 unbelievable films, then we may be more than happy to pay for it.

Two I had accepted, because I could visualize the separation, I just don't see how you can break it into three parts and have all of them be satisfying.

I'll most likely still watch them, and I guess that's all they care about, but it's still annoying.

LOTR could have easily been 6 movies, I can't see how the Hobbit could be more than 2.

The way I understand it is that Jackson wants The Hobbit to run right up to the start of LOTR.

So you could watch all 6 movies in a row. He has the appendices (am I saying that right?) which are a lot of random tales that kind of help tie things together in both The Hobbit and LOTR.

I am not fully sure what to expect out of three movies, but I am happy. If it was up to me there would be a 10 season HBO series on it as well. I can't get enough of these kinds of movies.

Maybe someone will make a Willow 2 soon.. see if we can squeeze Kilmer into any kind of armor.

You guys do remember that it isn't just The Hobbit in these three movies right? It also contains a ton of stuff from the Appendices and original material written by Jackson and co. themselves.

I haven't read them in several years but weren't the appendices in the LOTR books?

The hobbit was a fairly short story. Unless they are planning on going into some of the background history before the Hobbit story took place that was detailed in the LOTR appendices, the Silmarillion, etc. That would be cool but it might be a little much to follow.

As for material written by Jackson, hopefully they keep that to a minimum.

I'm not worried, The Hobbit as a triology will be a masterpiece. Jackson has too much respect as a fan himself of Tolkien's work to make a mockery of it. I'm glad he didn't try to cram the entire book into 1 movie.
I personally can't wait to see the visualization of the journey through the Mirkwood forest on film.
