Overwhelming, but not a fair comparison. We're post-LOTR movies and pre-Hobbit movie, which could make a big difference.

I am ridiculously excited for the new movie. So are all of the Tolkien fans I know.
I can't comment on the media or really add anything else, just wanted to throw in my two cents

Hm, interesting. But we shouldn't forget that The LoTR movie forums had over ten years to amass those high numbers, and both movie forums also contain threads dealing with the animated movies, not just Jackson's.

Actually, GM was giving book posts. But even then - it's possible the LOTR movies would have prompted much more posting in the LOTR book forum.
And yes - LOTR is a much more detailed, layered and complicated story. Much more there to talk about, compared to The Hobbit. But hopefully we'll still manage to make a lot of Hobbit talk around here for the next couple years.

Oh darn, didn't notice the numbers were from the book forums. Silly me.

Yea, sorry for not providing context- the idea was to show that people were more excited by the LOTR movies because people are just more into LOTR.
