The Hobbit has a director and a sequel

Ok, yeah, Gollum-bine was terrible.

But I'm surprised you had a few good ones left in you.

I won't see which of the batch really sent me into fits. They are SO SILLY.

Wendy, I disagree about the Director's Cuts when it comes to Fellowship of the Ring. Though I like a couple of the added scenes, the editing is atrocious. Never watch it. Comparing the two versions is practically a film class on judicious editing, pacing, suspense building, character establishment and what - good footage notwithstanding - to leave on the cutting room floor for the sake of the referenced qualities.

(The other two films were such a mess, that the relative bloatedness of the director's cuts destroys no such qualities that were never present.)
