Galadriel55, you jest, but consider seeing The Hobbit aside THE HOBBIT TUJ, DOS and MEH (Middle Earth Havoc): Super Extended Trilogy Addition in your favorite bookstore (should an actual book store exist in these times). For your gold, do you choose the anemic 'slimmed down' 200-300 page version, or the two ton tome with glossy pictures 'straight from the movies?'

<Note that you need to end of that last sentence dramatically, as you would if you saw the book inside its special storefront marquee.>

One looks like a screenplay while the other the real deal.

"Dad, why did that Tolkien guy leave Azog out of his version?"

Scary...

And thinking along those lines, The "Original" Hobbit would become "the children's adaptation".

Your discussion reminds me of this (which you've probably all seen before, but it always makes me so happy):

I cannot believe, in these days of instant information, that someone would make such a glaring error.

Has to be trolling.
