I am apparently The Hobbit. I am not convinced. Other than being fat and short, and having some sparse hair on my feet, I don't find myself very hobbit-like. At least, not very Bilbo-Baggins like. Alas.

he has some kind of socio-homoerotic relationship with Samwise Gamgee in the movies.

You know what? Fuck the movies. How could you LEAVE OUT fucking Tom Bombadill or whatever his name was in the first book, a significant character who enjoyed 50-100 pages, and then take TWO SENTENCES about MAYBE a romance between mr. human pants and ms. elf pants in the second book and turn it into THE MOST BORING HOUR EVER TO BE ENDURED IN A SCREENPLAY?

Pthb. Fuck the movies in the EAR(s).

well, you know me ... I try to avoid making any direct comparison between a book and a movie. obviously they are made through two different lenses, not to mention our own subjective reading of both the movie and/or the book. There is no Truth in this world. Only subjectivity. But, I would have to agree, though, to me, Tom Bombadil was superfluous for the shear reason that he doesn't crop up in the subsequent books as a major player. Besides, they needed something to counter the obvious homosexual undertones that that little twerp Elijia and what's his face from "Rudy" brought to their roles.
