The Hobbit

[Chas]

I cried. And by cried I mean I sat in my chair, trying to be silent, squeezing my hands together and weeping uncontrollably.

Because Peter Fucking Jackson butchered the story so badly? What an asshole he is.

Erm, no.

And just so anyone who wants to get on here and shit on The Hobbit knows, I reread Lord of the Rings and its appendices at least once a year. The Hobbit, not so much, and The Silmarillion, only in parts, but still. I think Jackson did a bang up job adapting all the moving parts to screen, and I don't say that lightly. I hate it when people fuck up a beloved book.

Yeah, well I think he fucked it up.

You're entitled.

If PJ had regurgitated the books verbatim there would be people complaining that he didn't show any originality. These books are not sacred, so get over it. I'm glad he made a movie out of the books, and not just a rote recitation.

That's a complaint with book to film adaptions that will always be there. Much like everything though, you can't please them all.

The books told a story, the story had meaning.

The movies told some different story.

Making a movie from a book can't possibly be a "rote recitation" - it is a very different medium. But butchering the story is not necessary to putting the story on film.

Okay, you didn't like it. Give me the home address of the person that made you watch all three of them and I will immolate him/her/it and their family and possessions. Then you can rest in peace.

It is Peter Fucking Jackson who is in need of immolation.

Waaaahmbulance has been called for you.
