Let me start off by saying that I am a total Tolkein nut. I read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings before I was 10. I watched the three Lord of the Rings films the instant that they came out and I also own the extended editions, which makes me deeply sad, not that I care.
When I heard that the Hobbit was to be made into two films by Peter Jackson I was ecstatic and I can't wait for the first one to come out.
Now, I was browsing on the Huffington Post the other day (as a good Liberal should) and I found something that provoked a very strong reaction from me.
It was this... thing. I won't describe it, but let me just say that it doesn't bare a lot of resemblence to the actual plot of the Hobbit.

(I suppose Gandalf COULD have had a tower, somewhere. Saruman had Orthanc, after all. But since we never see him 'at home' so to speak, it's seriously beside the point.)
Must go cleanse my eyes of these images and the liberties taken with Tolkien's story!
