I have no interest in the Hobbit trilogy. None. Not even the hotness that is Richard Armitage can convince me to go. Agreed. I just have no interest in it at all. |

Hamatron, it's whales. Mr. S. is still reduced to tears of laughter by Kirk's line near the end: "Why don't you take me below deck and show me your whales," or something pretty similar. Yes! That's right. I remember my parents loving that installment for how hilariously random and bad it was too. It's funny! |

I took an extensive biography of Queen Mary on my honeymoon, and I've always thought that it was probably the unsexiest choice ever for a honeymoon read--but you win, Borokat.  I read The Hobbit in middle school and liked it well enough, but I barely made it through Return of the King before giving up on Tolkien. Now I'm sad, because I'm sure that this will make Stephen Colbert think less of me when we finally meet. |

He's the only one I fear disappointing with my disappointment with Tolkien. |

Well, not all of us. I've been a Trek fan since 1966 and I enjoyed the reboot immensely.
Star Trek IV (the one with the whales) was intended to be an over-the-top comedy. I love it, although the Whale Lady gets to be a bit much.

To be honest, the only way I got through the books was by skipping huge parts of it. The moment they'd start "singing" in the books, you could pretty much skip 10 pages or so. Same for when they'd start to recount old stories or poems. All of a sudden, it was a reasonable read. I enjoy The Hobbit for what it is, a little adventure story. But the trilogy idea is just awful IMO, the story can only carry so much and they're definitely stretching it for 3 movies by adding a lot of unnecessary stories from the appendices. Yeah, I kinda like it, but I don't love it like the LOTR. Not to mention, Peter Jackson needs to hire a better editor, then again, how else can he have 3 movies of nearly 3 hrs long?  |
