FRODO FINDS A BRIDGE

I’ve been surprised by the angst on display from internetters in regards to Peter Jackson’s planned two Hobbit films. I would have thought that if any human being on Earth had earned the benefit of the doubt when it came to Tolkein’s work, it was Jackson (and his collaborators).
