I think about it in this way, that there will be other adaptations which makes it not the end all be all. Maybe the Hobbit will be one movie too in the future.

Do fans make the movies too? If they do I suppose the film will be closer to the book's story as they won't have anything to show-off to earn money except the story and the real substance. Not sure if any big name in Hollywood can do the deserved justice to the book (in present time), but can hope this from fans if there are any adaptations from them.

I was interested in your last comments, Belegorn and Lotrelf. I'm sure that there will, in the future, be other adaptations of The Hobbit. The more the better, including by fellow fans, so we can put the Jackson adaptations in a proper context.

On a more amusing note, I came across this song about the movies, It's Still Middle Earth to Me, to the tune of Billy Joel's It's Still Rock and Roll to Me:

What do people think?

Well, now that it's over at least (with any luck) the PJ fanboys will go away and leave us alone.

I think some of the 'PJ fanboys' might reemerge when the next adaptation of Tolkien's works comes along.

Via an HBO series that take liberties with the story (but more R-rated and melodramatic than Jackson's juvenile fart jokes). It will be called A Game of Halflings. Nearly a third of the dinner guests will be slaughtered at Bilbo's eleventieth birthday party.
