I wouldn't have been keen on the Boorman version myself, but it looks like people are saying such a farce as the Boorman project would have been more palatable because it could have been treated as a lark, and not taken seriously.

I see. Sounds like The Hobbit
could be a real treat for you, then, doesn't it?

Well, not necessarily for me, but I'm likely in the minority....

You know, you're not alone in the minority... I'm rather saving up to get me and my brother into an insanely expensive 3D cinema once the Hobbit arrives. And that would be my first 3D movie, ever.
