Ok I was very harsh.

But I'm concerned that Jackson's version of Middle-Earth is eclipsing the real version in the eyes of most people. What we now know is that Jackson does not respect Tolkien's books at all, except as a cash machine to exploit. Even in the LOTR films every theme from the source material is cut out for longer battle sequences. The characters in the movies have nothing in common with the books except their names. I have a hard time believing that anyone who is a fan of Tolkien's writings honestly likes the Hobbit trilogy. Frodo and Bilbo Baggins were the central characters of those two books, and they were barely in the films at all! Imagine if Peter Jackson made a film version of Moby-Dick and left the white whale on the cutting room floor; that's the level of respect he has for these works.

And yes I have plenty of positive thoughts in my life, they're just not on these message boards, much like Bilbo in the third Hobbit movie.
