]]> <![CDATA['Hobbit' Director Debate Ignores Critical Fact that 'Hobbit' is Rubbish]]> STV you forgot a few things;

EXT. FOREST - DAY.
Bilbo Baggins furrows his brow. His eyes begin to well up with tears.

Visual effects and soundtrack happen.

INT. CASTLE - NIGHT.
Ian McKellen cameo with his eyes filled with tears.

More effects.

EXT. FOREST - DAY.
The trees dance with tears in their eyes.

The end.

BTW Reason, the third film is like the other two: anything something dramatic happens, the sound drops out, the bombastic music comes up, then someone mouths the words 'Frooo...dooooo...' in slow motion. The last 30 minutes are like wading through molasses.

The LOTR film trilogy is Peter Jackson's "good parts version" and really an addition to his catalogue of Zombie/Puppet horror films . . .

Which is EXACTLY what Del Toro has made his bread and butter, as well.

But, really, if you think Jackson and Del Toro suck; who is left in terms of mainstream action/fantasy?

Pony up an alternative, Cochise. Destroy those two GENIUSES and all we will be left with is Lucas and Spielberg. And that is not a world I wish to live in.

Or we could all just go see "Speed Racer" on opening day.

The other reason is that a drag queen hobbit falling in love with Antonio Banderas whilst stalking his childhood priest, who happens to be a nudist now, who happens to be played by Gael Garcia Bernal, who has a drug habit and falls asleep at unfortunate times - would be amazing!

]]> <![CDATA['Hobbit' Director Debate Ignores Critical Fact that 'Hobbit' is Rubbish]]> Oh STV, if only the LOTR movies had been that concise! I fell asleep in both of the first two movies, and couldn't find a reason to punish myself by trying to sit through the third. The best one sentence review that I heard was, "They just kept killing orcs."

I'm glad someone else is willing to tell the truth about these interminable snoozers.
