That said, I find his plans for The Hobbit (trilogy??) problematic.Dale Guffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051157864025289630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933254522488715161.post-41987314131143988902013-01-28T03:52:02.956-05:002013-01-28T03:52:02.956-05:00Mr. Jackson has taken a 138 page children's st...Mr. Jackson has taken a 138 page children's story and turned it into a nine hour trilogy that has already failed.
