Why LOTR Sucks: Wishing For The Hobbit

I still wish they had made The Hobbit first, because that’s the proper order of things (this isn’t Star Wars after all), but I like the various allusions to the Hobbit that are thrown in. These are the touches meant for the lovers of the book, and hopefully don’t detract from the story for people who haven’t read them (There are plenty of detractions coming up, anyway). And again, seeing how The Hobbit is my favorite, we’ll just hope Jackson has learned from all his mistakes. We also have just gotten our introduction to Sam, and our first glimpses of Pippin and Merry. They definitely look like hobbits.
