    Oh man, please be good. I’m feeling the beginnings of some hype.

    Edit: Okay so I actually read the article. Doesn’t seem like Peter Jackson is actually going to be directing (at least not yet). And the first movie is about Gollum . Hype levels have plummeted. I have faith that they’ll try to do their best but man I really hate how they’ve approached this franchise. More and more I think Christopher Tolkein was right when he talked about negative aspects about the mass commercialization of his father’s work.

          Good for a new generation to see it so they can compare it to the lukewarm mimic that will follow it.

      Oh, perfect. The Gollum videogame was wonderful, and everyone loved it. Hopefully it’s 3hrs of similar quality
