There will be a third movie of the Hobbit

[GrayMouser]

No objections if one entry in the trilogy is "The Hobbit' by JRR Tolkien; not "Parts of the Hobbit and a Bunch of Other Stuff Thrown In (to be continued)"

I'm pretty sure it's the case that the other stuff will be mixed in. Witness: the Gandalf/Galadriel scene in the trailer :/

well, I think it'll be bloody fantastic. I invite Peter Jackson to flex his fanfic muscles as crazily as ever, with a seemingly unlimited budget and a giant cast of mostly great actors, young & old. I'm all for it. The longer I can stay cinematically in Middle Earth, the better.Three Hobbit films? AWESOME. This is gonna be so much fun.

That's what HE said (Peter Jackson, I mean) and I gotta say, I tend to agree. Bring it.

And, sorry for being scarce this week, my new 700$ phone got stolen and the very next day, the operating system on my computer got nullified. It'ss been a tough week. I'm only in touch with you now cuz of browbeating my man into letting me use his fancy macbook air to just, get online.

I have read about 15 classic novels since last Sunday night (when my cellphone got snatched.) a lot of Faulkner, some Hemingway, Solzhenitsen, Willa Cather, Joan Didion, James Baldwin, and Julia Child, and OH!! Gabriel Garcia Marquez' great piece of literature One Hundred Years of Solitude, which I read, finished, then picked up the next morning and read again, cover to cover, the following morning.

I bet if you wait long enough after all three movies have been released, someone somewhere will upload on Youtube a The Hobbit-cut that will only have all the scenes that were in the book. Kind of like someone uploaded the second Star Wars trilogy with all the Jar Jar Binks-scenes cut. And I'd wager that'd be a pretty good movie.

I don't mind if they throw in a little filler, but I wanna see 'The Hobbit'- from the unexpected party to the return home- in one movie, not stacked in like slices of salami in the middle of a Peter Jackson Dagwood sandwich.

Otherwise, I'll have to wait for Earniel's solution to come around.

A Dagwood sandwich. That works excellently as a metaphor for PJ's style

I think three movies is a brilliant idea. I think they will be able to capture more detail of The Hobbit that way. It makes me very excited just thinking about it, actuallly.

Me like. To each his/her own. The more movie Middle Earth the better, just one unimportant guy's opinion. [Man just one verb in all of that.]
