Eh?Chris you are attributing opinions to me that I do not hold..I thought that the films were better for the removal of the material.

However I fail to see how a day's read book such as the Hobbit can possibly be made into a trilogy and I was facetiously suggesting that maybe Jackson was going to use the material he rejected from LOTR in the Hobbit.

No need to take issue with me at all..
