hobbit spoilers

[Fake from State Jarm]

I clicked this on youtube thinking it was a teaser, I only remember part of the books being read to me in early childhood so I hardly remembered much. Not only is this way different from the book, the plot somehow seems vaguely familiar and cliche'd. this is horrible, what's the point in even going to the theater to see the movie now

and also wtf is that guy doing @ 2:16, since when are gay sexual euphemisms a valid form of hitting on women

please someone answer this before grilledslug or leo make another tragic attempt at wit

anyway, definitely not seeing it now, how much money did they have to pay tolkien for him to let them do this to his fantasy franchise. fucking sell outs are the ruination of american cinema.

edit: was homosexuality even invented back then

I know they had elves but androgyny is closer to being transgender than being homosexual.

I heard they're even planning on making a trilogy of it. everyone knows geeks are a bipolar concoction, equal parts desparation and fickleness, tim burton is going to have his hands full just getting them in the door after what he did to snow white and the huntsman.


anyway more on the homosexuality. anyone else heard the theory that the gay gene is just a genetic leftover from ancient interbreeding with elves? my question then is where do lesbians come from. not that I subscribe to it, but it's interesting, dwarven women are supposed to have beards, and you see a lot of lesbians with fake mustaches.

Yay again!


And yeah, that whole trilogy kind of killed any enthusiasm I had to go watch the film. I never read the books, but I would have been cool watching one, maybe two films, but not 3 for the Hobbit.

I read The Hobbit out loud to my girlfriend 20 years ago - it is a truly epic work, much better than LoTR. 

Judging from the above, Hollywood is ruining the book the same way they did with Dude Where's My Car.

and yet these are the only ones that answered. I'm assuming the thread title scared all the geeks into not even reading the thread.
