1) why object to Jackson's depiction of Dwarves but not Elves? In both TH and LOTR novels, Elves are depicted as being a very whimsical, light-hearted people, but in the films they're portrayed as serious and somber. If one is to find fault with one race's portrayal, why not the other?
Seriously. They cut "Tra La La La Lee Down In The Valley" from the Hobbit. Screw Peter Jackson's beard!
