Edited the OP to include the video.

I'm excited for it and can't wait. The first time I read it was in 4th grade, my aunt was always a big fan of the series so she had all kinds of neat Hobbit artbooks that I loved flipping through.

Was hoping to see more than .1 seconds of trolls, but cool anyway.

My dad was a huge Tolkien fan, which I've inherited, I guess.  I appreciate the films for their genre, so naturally upon seeing the Hobbit trailer I started a LOTR marathon.  I'll probably be reading the books by this weekend.  I'm too suggestible.

Hobbit was easily the best of lotr books and I have hopes for it being the best movie to.

I have mixed feelings about Peter Jackson. He did a decent job with the first two and a half LOTR movies, but with the money and talent that was avaible to him it's questionable how much he actually had to do with their success. His decision to drag out the final movie like Tolkien did in the book showed a complete lack of judgement. When I saw it in the theater, over half the audience left before the credits rolled because it was so unbearably boring and kept on making you think it was over and then there was another boring drawn out scene (for the record, I think Tolkien himself botched the end of the book). Sure, he cut a lot of the ending out, but most of the original ending was just a super-extended epilogue.

Then Peter Jackson committed the unforgivable sin of destroying King Kong.

Then District 9 came out. Brilliant movie. Although all the creative credit is due to Neill Blomkamp for that one, it may never have been released had it not been for Jackson. My hope is that after these Hobbit movies her retires from the director's chair and does nothing but produce other Blomkamp films for the rest of his career. The Hobbit movies will probably be decent, but I have a feeling that like the LOTR movies, it will be the talent that surrounds Jackson that responsible rather than the man himself.

I think Peter Jackson's best film was definitely Dead Alive (or Braindead, depending where you're from)

But I'm a sucker for B movies.

Looking forward to it! Call me a glutton for punishment, but I'd also like more 'Matrix' movies! Though any LOTR talk always reminds me of Randal's synopsis of that trilogy from Clerks 2.
