Dear Mr Jackson,

[stevieannie]

I don't remember how old I was when I read 'The Hobbit'.  I do remember how much I enjoyed stepping into another world.  I can't have been out of primary school, certainly - 7? 8

Silmarillion, anybody?

We know a song about that, don't we Annie...? =:o}

Moved as I am by your sentiments, having seen Battle of Five Armies tonight I must confess I am wondering if we saw the same film

This, as they say.

I was traumatised by that 1970s carton travesty (Ralph Bakshi was the guilty party, I believe). It probably wasn't so bad, but right then I was living in Middle Earth in preference to trying to deal with a ... difficult ... adolescence.

When we went to see Fellowship of the Ring in 2001 I was a bundle of nerves. If Mr Jackson screwed it up, I would have walked out. But he didn't. It took me a little longer than you (Moria, in fact), but I too had the 'yes!' moment.

Or even 'cartoon travesty'. Blame the pinot.
