adios 717 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 The decision to drop Oscar-winner Peter Jackson as director of The Hobbit film has led to an online petition of 1,100 people asking for him to be reinstated. Has he seriously got "eleventy-ten" signatures, are they all from the Shire, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I dont mind admitting to being a LOTR's nut!! Long before the films were even thought of, of course! I didnt even watch them when they first came out for fear of feeling let down, i didnt want my own impressions on how things should be spoilt, but i have to say the films were spot on. I'd love to see The Hobbit film made, but why stop there? The Silmarilion has to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordieshandy 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 PJ just has to do it!!!!! With Duncan? But their last film was shite, all that alien bollocks. Should leave it to the folk who know best and stick to their crap TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The Hobbit is canny, good kids book. The LOTR trilogy starts off ok and becomes harder and harder work. Even the language changes and becomes more archaic in The Return of the King but I struggled through it when I was about 12, never again though. The Silmarillion is just a collection of various notes Tolkien made compiled (I think) posthumously by his son. It's about as good as Marillion.

JawD 31 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I was a fan of the works as a kid, read the three books plus The Hobbit. All are canny reads and Ive read them a few times since. I also recall seeing an animated version of half of LotR when I was a kid. The recent films I thought were a good attempt though never quite what the books are (as usual). I tried reading The Silmarilion when I was younger as well and also gave up half way through. I think it would have been canny for The Hobbit to be made by the same crew for continuity more than owt else. Though, The Hobbit was more of a kids book even that LotR and Id expect the same from the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 shame on you all, you should have stuck with it. I admit some of it is hard going, but it lays the foundations for you to understand the subsequent books! You learn how Sauron (the eye, one of the gods) became evil. It explains about the origin of the ring, and how Isildur could have destroyed it but didnt when he had the chance and about the ring bearers and who/what Gandalf really is...(Mithrander) The tale of Luthien and Beren is beautiful too.
