The Hobbit has a director and a sequel

I'm quite happy with Del Toro, since this means we won't have a 40-minute ending featuring softcore Hobbit porn.

About the sequel though.... Ken's going to have a coronary. Wait until he reads about this. Oh dear...

HEYYYYY I'm still annoyed that Frodo and Sam didn't frack on the boat at the end of Fellowship.

Really, having experienced good stories in Tolkien's world that were not written by Tolkien, I'm not about go to into anaphylactic shock.

What, you don't like watching little men roll around in a big bed while being drooled over by a lecherous old wizard?


(I also wondered what Ken would think of this- I'm pretty sure Eric will be disgusted).

Heh heh....Just told Eric, and after looking puzzled at the switch in directors, he wondered just what the hell they think happened in the years between The Hobbit and the LOTR. Lots of eating and drinking, to be sure, but not a hell of a lot else.
