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.

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?

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.
