Oh my goodness someone let the children out.

However, I'd like to say that it's rather silly to say that since PJ produced a dumbed down Hollywood-ised version of Lotr/a wonderful beautiful film of LotR that the Hobbit will be the same. After all, look at PJs old track record --~~ I think most will agree that LotR was quite a step up from his norm, and there are a lot of other examples as well, including Tolkien. Most people I talk to (and I share this opinion) think that the Silmarillion does not add up to LotR, and that The Hobbit is inferior or superior, etc.
