"BBs are designed for people to put forth their opinions" - Well, one hopes that those opinions would be informed!

Your's, obviously are not; that is my informed opinion.

>>> "Don't take it so personally." <<<

Why not? You're insulting the personal tastes of others. If you don't like the films, that's fine! However, those of us who appreciate this series are not interested in your blathering on about how childish you consider films based on Tolkien's works to be. Your comments are short on substance, but long on ridicule, although I do peceive an agenda as alluded to in these comments:

>>> "The FX and general look will be dated in 30 years as the 10 Commandments are today. EXCEPT THAT INSTEAD OF A STORY THAT MILLIONS TAKE TO BE TRUE THAT CAN CARRY IT TO NEW GENERATIONS, THE HOBBIT STORIES ARE JUST SILLY AND PREDICTABLE CHILDRENS FICTION." <<<

So, apparently what we have here is someone proselytizing for his own belief system. Disengenuous criticism of Tolkien's works, it would seem, based on evangelical salesmanship rather than merit.

Still not clear on what I'm getting at? Allow me to be more blunt:

I'm sure that many folks here are aware of the fact that certain protestant denominations abhor LoTR and other fantasies; they preach the spreading filth about the series to their brainwashed congregations, urging them to shun the series and condemn it at every opportunity. They do this because they consider such fantasies as anti-christian and consider them threats to good moral virtue.

Now Troy, I wouldn't accuse you of being one of THOSE theological lemmings, but your posts on this subject certainly convey that distinctive aroma.

In conclusion, one is left to wonder how you would feel about someone expressing the opinion that, Charlton Heston's wooden film performance notwithstanding, the 10 Commandments were dated long before being committed to film? ;^)
