Totally Random

You step onto the road (and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to).

I'm not sure that's a valid argument for why the hobbits movieses were bad?

You mentioned getting on the road.

As a starting point, yes

Probably best to breathe, just in case...

He isn't.

Good thing I kept breathing. And made dinner.
Are you going to keep all that hobbit hate for yourself then?

I've mentioned several problems with them before.

It's three films when one would have been sufficient. They added a load of unnecessary stuff that has nothing to do with the story that is being told just to pad it out. It was visually quite poor compared to the LOTR films which are more than a decade older. It attempts to be two very different things tonally which doesn't work at all.

It was a missed opportunity to make a great adaptation of a great novel, which is a shame considering how well they (mostly) handled the LOTR.

And you trusted we'd remember?

And the star wars movies?
