Methinks I will jump into this conversation, because I have the time.

I really don't care that The Hobbit's being made after LotR (I have no thoughtful insight like the rest of you do, so don't ask

). What bugs me is that they're making it into three movies! THREE, for cryin' out loud! Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King were a lot longer, and they didn't split any of them!
