Poor Christopher...I would be upset too not just because of the "adaptations" of his father's work, but all that came with it. The marketing, the merchandise the plays(After the fellowship came out a stream of amaturish impressice plays followed and everyone of them terrible) I for one loved the animated Hobbit to itti bitti bits(I'm not that picky when it comes to animations) and I would love to see Jackson's dream realised. I don't see why there can't be a comprimise between the two wizards. Jackson should direct the movie so that it remains consistent with the LOTR, but Tolkien should be there as an overseer. I don't understand why he wasn't with the project from the begining if it was so important. Jackson used conceptual artists Howe and [darn I can't remember the other's name] to keep the sets and scenery true enough(and it was pretty flawless, I thought) why can't Tolkien lend his carful eye to the completion of the Hobbit? It would make both him and his fans happy.
