Yes, when I first heard they were making "The Hobbit" into a trilogy, my reaction was "How? Slow motion?"

I guess they're putting in all this other stuff, but I think it would ]irritate me to see it. I was irritated just by reading about it on wikipedia. If Jackson wants to use the LOTR characters in his own plotlines, fine, he can make all the movie-based fanfic he wants. But don't mess with the storylines of the original books!
